The Challenge: Manual Systems Hindering a Scalable CSR Initiative
Pakistan Tobacco Company (PTC) has long been committed to environmental sustainability through its afforestation program.
- Managing multiple nurseries across Pakistan, the company provides free plant consultations, sapling sales, and on-site guidance to communities.
- Staff attendance was logged on paper, plant inventories were inconsistent across nurseries, and there was no real-time visibility into operations.
- They needed a fully functional nursery management system that could go live in under three months.
The Solution: A Fast-Tracked, Enterprise-Grade Platform
PTC selected Veroke based on its ability to move fast without compromising quality. The requirements were clear:
- A central Admin Portal to manage nationwide nursery operations
- A native Android app for on-site use by nursery staff
- Real-time visibility into attendance, inventory, and nursery performance
- Fully hosted on AWS to ensure scalability and uptime
We committed to deliver the full system in just 60 days and delivered ahead of schedule.
Our Transformation Strategy
1. Fast Discovery & Domain Immersion
Our team began with an accelerated discovery sprint.
- We studied global nursery management practices and mapped them against local workflows.
- Interviews with PTC’s on-ground staff helped us tailor the system to their daily needs, from plant tagging to shift reporting.
2. Lean Architecture with Strong Foundations
To balance speed and scalability:
- Backend: Node.js for performance and real-time data sync
- Frontend: Angular.js for the admin panel, optimized for productivity
- Android App: Built natively in Java to ensure device compatibility and offline functionality
3. Iterative Delivery and Deployment
We broke the project into biweekly sprints and shared working builds with PTC early on.
- This agile collaboration helped us lock critical workflows quickly, like attendance tracking, plant registration, and nursery-wise dashboards, without going through long review cycles.
The Result: Automation, Visibility, and Real Impact
The platform went live in record time, before the next plantation cycle began:
- Operational Transformation
- Cost and Time Savings
- Impact at Scale
From Manual Oversight to a Digitally Empowered Green Initiative
Veroke’s holistic approach went beyond just software delivery. By eliminating manual overhead, introducing real-time operational visibility, and tailoring the platform to field realities, the solution has become a key enabler in PTC’s afforestation mission.
What began as a time-sensitive technology requirement has evolved into a strategic system that amplifies the impact of one of Pakistan’s largest corporate environmental programs.
