As a Product Manager at Agenpo, I have had the opportunity to lead and contribute to the development and success of several innovative products in the agriculture sector. My role involved strategizing, designing, and implementing features that solve real-world problems for our users, ensuring that each product is not only functional but also delivers an exceptional user experience.
At Agenpo, I worked on three flagship products at Agenpo; Werhously, FarmSider, and AgriGeitor.
Werhously - Agro Warehouse Management System
Werhously is an advanced B2B agro warehouse management system designed to streamline operations for warehouse owners and managers. The platform allows for efficient onboarding of warehouses, inventory tracking, and management of multiple warehouses under a single business entity.
While working on Werhously, I led a team comprising a front-end engineer, a back-end engineer, and a UI/UX designer. Together, we enhanced the warehouse management process, focusing on increasing efficiency and improving the user experience.
Key Contributions
- Developed and implemented stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements to ensure compliance and legitimacy of businesses using the platform. This helped in maintaining a secure and trustworthy environment.
- Conducted thorough user research to understand the needs and challenges of warehouse managers. Used insights gained to drive feature development and iterative improvements to the product.
- Introduced a feature allowing businesses to manage multiple warehouses, addressing a key pain point identified through user research. This feature enhanced the scalability of the platform and catered to a broader range of users.
- Managed the testing process, identifying bugs and usability issues, and collaborated with the team to iterate on the product design and functionality based on insights gotten from usability test results and user feedback.
2. FarmSider - The Ultimate Farmer’s Assistant
FarmSider is a B2C mobile application that provides African farmers with unparalleled access to markets for their produce. The app connects farmers with traders, facilitates seamless transactions, and offers services such as farm geolocation, finding nearby warehouses, and receiving offers with instant wallet crediting.
Key Contributions
- Defined the product vision and strategy to position Farmsider as the ultimate assistant for farmers, aligning it with Agenpo's mission to unlock latent opportunities in the agriculture value chain.
