Plantation ERP · from estate to head office
PalmSuite puts the field office, the mill floor and the finance team on one system. Harvests, weighbridge tickets, stock, payroll and invoices are recorded once — and reach the general ledger without anyone re-typing them.
For plantation groups running several estates, mills or companies.
Where time and margin leak
Every estate, mill and department holds its own version of the numbers. Month-end becomes an exercise in stitching them back together.
Work assignments, roll calls and harvest tallies are written in a book, carried to the estate office and typed in a second time.
Harvest records, weighbridge tickets and mill intake are compared by hand — if anyone compares them at all.
Procurement, the warehouse, HR and accounting each keep separate records that have to be reconciled against each other.
Journals are rebuilt from operational reports, so cost per hectare and cost per ton arrive long after decisions were needed.
Allowances, PPh 21, BPJS, VAT and withholding are worked out outside the books and checked line by line.
Group performance is only visible once every unit has sent its report — by which time the month is already over.
How PalmSuite works
Each user signs in to a workspace — their working location and the open accounting period — and sees only the modules their role needs. Everything they enter feeds stock, cost and the ledger automatically.
Field clerks at the estate office, weighbridge clerks at the mill, technicians in the workshop, buyers at their desk.
Receipts, issues, payroll and sales produce their journals by themselves, posted to the right company, location and period.
Cost per hectare, cost per ton, OER and KER, tax and financial statements come straight from the same records.
Module map
PalmSuite is organised in five layers, from the block to the boardroom. Users only get the modules their role and working location need — general ledger, payables, cash & bank, inventory, purchasing and more — and every one of them posts to the same ledger.
Where the crop and the oil are made.
Seedling stock, quality and transfers to the field.

How it flows
Nobody hands a spreadsheet to the next team. Each step passes its data forward, and the ledger keeps up as the work is done.
01 · Estate
Field work, attendance and harvest are recorded per block at the estate. Labour and materials land on that block's cost centre.
Cost per ha · crop per block
02 · Transport
Each truckload is weighed on arrival and its ticket is linked to the estate and transport it came from — no re-typing.
Every load on record
03 · Mill / PKS
Throughput, CPO and kernel output, OER, KER and downtime are logged per shift; maintenance and parts are costed.
Cost per ton · OER / KER
04 · Bulking
Tank stock and quality samples are tracked to the port, and each despatch draws down a sales contract.
CPO & kernel stock
05 · Sales
Delivery orders and weighbridge tickets become invoices; receivables are followed per company and currency.
Revenue · AR ageing
06 · Head Office
Journals from every module meet in the general ledger, ready for tax reports, statements and dashboards.
P&L · balance sheet · tax
Working underneath every step
General Ledger
Dashboards
Cost and production, estate and mill — read from the same transactions as the ledger, so the dashboard and the books never disagree.
Why PalmSuite
Not a generic ERP with a palm oil label. The workflows, reports and controls start from how estates, mills and head offices actually run.
Blocks, divisions, mandor teams, TPH, weighbridge, OER and KER are part of the system — not custom fields added later.
Users work inside a chosen location and accounting period; module access follows their role, and closed periods stay closed.
Buy in USD, cost in IDR — across every module.
Fingerprint scanners, SMS gateways, phones, tablets and desktops feed the same records.
Attendance, overtime, allowances and deductions are calculated where the rest of your data lives.
VAT, withholding and PPh computed from transactions; statements adjustable to your reporting format.
More than two decades of palm oil industry experience behind the design and every implementation.

Yes — that is the setup PalmSuite is built for. Each company and location keeps its own records, and head office sees them together. Transactions can be in different currencies, such as USD purchases with IDR costing.
Users sign in to a workspace: a working location and an accounting period. The modules available depend on their role and location, and periods that finance has closed cannot be posted into.
Attendance comes in from fingerprint, iris or mobile devices. Payroll calculates allowances, deductions, PPh 21 and BPJS, and on approval the payroll journal is posted to the general ledger.
Workflows can be configured, financial reports adjusted, and company-specific modules developed. We agree the scope with you before implementation starts.
They depend on the number of companies, locations, modules and users, and on your infrastructure. In a consultation we look at your situation and propose a plan.
