Project : Online Procurement Management System (OPMS)

Project Brief:

CGG developed the Online Procurement Management System (OPMS for Paddy) for the Telangana Civil Supplies Corporation Ltd (TGCSCL) to monitor paddy procurement across the state. CGG has been maintaining the OPMS project since 2016, continuously adding value-added modules to streamline procurement activities.

The system captures data on paddy procurement, transport to mills, and payments to farmers. It also collects information from farmers and millers at procurement centres through a tab. The OPMS includes dashboards and summary reports, offering a clear view of season-wise procurements. 

Since 2020, Paddy Procurement Centres (PPCs) have been extended to the village level, with procurement now taking place at about 7,400 PPCs. This system has helped curb the intervention of middlemen in the procurement process. Payments are credited directly to farmers’ accounts without delay, and SMS alerts are sent to the farmers. It may be noted that Telangana is the second-largest state in paddy procurement, following Punjab.
