LintraMax launches Quarto to manage Malaysian palm oil plantations

• RM700,000 in funding came from MDEC’s Product Development and Commercialisation Fund
• Quarto streamlines the plantation management workflow

LINTRAMAX Sdn Bhd, a provider of plantation management software solutions launced  a cloud-based plantation management system targeting palm oil plantation businesses in Malaysia.

Quatro, launched in Nov 2016 is based on a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, with an all-in-one solution which allows companies to manage their plantation business on a single system that supports various key operation functions.

It streamlines the plantation management workflow to help increase efficiency and productivity. The new system also makes it easy for business owners to access plantation data anytime and anywhere via a web browser on any mobile device.

The development and commercialisation of Quarto was backed by funding received from Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC). The funding which amounted to US$156,000 (RM700,000) came from MDEC’s Product Development and Commercialisation Fund and was secured in early 2016.

Prior to Quarto, LintraMax had focused on developing on-premises systems to manage plantations and mills in Malaysia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. These on-premises systems require more resources to implement and maintain compared to Quarto.

LintraMax founder and managing director Khor Kheng Khoon said, “We are very excited about the launch of Quarto. Running a palm oil plantation business can be tough if no proper system is in place to manage various operations, functions and processes.

“LintraMax was awarded the Product Development and Commercialisation Fund for their cloud-based plantation management system which aims at digitalising the plantation industry both locally and globally,” stated MDEC Innovation Capital director Dr  Karl Ng Kah Hou.

Quarto Standard which is available now consists of key features critical to manage tasks and work activities from the estate level up to various functions such as accounting, staff payroll, general worker and harvester check-roll, procurement, inventory management, nursery management and vehicle management that are conducted at plantation head office. It is suitable for implementation by smallholders.
