Amasya Software Partner: Enterprise Software for Agriculture, Food and Tourism

Amasya software partner for agriculture, food and tourism

For a business in Amasya, a software investment is often about a product’s journey: the conditions under which cherries or Misket apples picked in the orchard reach the cold store, and from there the wholesale market or an export customer. When we discuss Amasya software needs, a fruit trader, a food processor, a manufacturer in Merzifon OIZ and a hotel welcoming guests to the historic city all describe a similar problem: data is scattered across notebooks, Excel files and messaging groups, and when a customer or inspector asks a question, the answer takes hours.

This guide is written for managers at fruit growers and traders, cold storage operators, food processors, manufacturers in Merzifon OIZ and tourism businesses in Amasya, Türkiye. Aksiyon Soft is headquartered in Samsun and has no office or branch in Amasya. We deliver remotely and plan on-site visits for critical steps such as discovery workshops, user acceptance or go-live, depending on the project schedule.

In short

• Amasya’s economy rests on cherry, apple and vegetable growing, food processing, Merzifon OIZ manufacturing and heritage tourism.
• The main priorities are cold chain monitoring, lot traceability, field operations and booking systems.
• The wholesale market registration system (Hal Kayıt Sistemi) and e-Waybill rules make digital records mandatory in fruit and vegetable trade.
• Data flowing between storage sensors, ERP, market notifications and websites should be governed by a middleware layer.
• Aksiyon Soft is based in Samsun and works with Amasya companies remotely, with planned on-site visits when needed.

How does Amasya’s economy shape its software needs?

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry’s Amasya Agricultural Investment Guide (2025) states, citing TurkStat 2024 data, that Amasya produced 42,573 tonnes of cherries, about 5.86% of Türkiye’s output. The guide highlights the province’s weight in cherries, apples, dry onions and okra, the fertile Geldingen, Merzifon, Suluova and Gümüş plains, and Amasya’s role as a dairy basin. Amasya Misket Apple and Amasya Cherry carry geographical indications, and cold storage investments are listed among supported investments.

The Governorship of Amasya’s 13-project package, announced under the title “Tarım Şehr-i Amasya” (Amasya, City of Agriculture), completes the picture: an action plan to raise the production and market share of Misket apples, a specialized greenhouse OIZ project in Taşova, the Suluova Livestock Fattening OIZ and a cattle-breeding cluster in Suluova are among them.

Industry is centred on Merzifon. According to Merzifon OIZ’s own profile, the zone was founded in 1987 at the intersection of the Istanbul–Samsun and Ankara–Samsun highways. It started production in 1999 with 17 factories and 385 employees; today more than 7,000 people work in 78 factories, and annual exports exceed TRY 7 billion. Built-in appliances, textiles, plastic injection, agricultural machinery, food, airbags and furniture are the leading sectors.

How do you build cold chain monitoring and traceability for fruit?

For a highly perishable product like cherries, quality is decided in the first hours after harvest. If you do not know when the fruit was picked, when it entered the cold store and at what temperature it was kept, you cannot answer an export customer’s complaint with evidence.

Orchard and batch records

Every purchase receives a batch number together with grower and orchard details. Weighing, sizing and sorting results are written to that batch, and the label on each packed crate or carton carries the same number.

Temperature and humidity monitoring in storage

When readings from room sensors leave the defined range, the responsible person is notified and the event is logged. When those records can be reported per customer, they also become a strong sales argument for businesses that sell storage as a service.

Market registration and e-Waybill

The Revenue Administration (GİB) required fruit and vegetable commission agents and traders who must report to the wholesale market registration system to switch to e-Waybill by 1 January 2020. Generating the market notification and the waybill from the same batch record removes double entry and inconsistencies.

Food processing and dairy

In a dairy basin province, the same logic extends to recipes and production batches for dairies and food processors. When the supplier of collected milk, its lab result, the batch it went into and the expiry date sit in one record, affected products can be listed within minutes if a recall is ever needed.

What tools do field operations and tourism businesses need?

For traders and cooperatives working with growers spread across the plains, the field team’s mobile app is decisive: orchard visits, yield estimates, spraying and fertilizing records and purchase appointments are entered in the field and reach head office instantly. Working offline and syncing later is a basic requirement where coverage is weak. We meet these needs with our field operations and workflow management platform.

On the tourism side, Amasya’s greatest asset is its history. The Amasya Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism presents the Pontic rock-cut royal tombs on Mount Harşena among the city’s symbols, and according to UNESCO records “Mount Harşena and the Rock-tombs of the Pontic Kings” was added to the World Heritage Tentative List in 2015. Hotels and guesthouses that want to turn that interest into bookings need a fast, mobile-friendly website, online booking and guest communication flows. For the authorization model behind personal data processing, our article on RBAC access model design is a good start.

Middleware and system integration

A typical fruit trader or cold storage operator in Amasya has several systems that must talk to each other: the accounting or ERP package, scales and label printers, storage sensors, wholesale market notifications and the e-Waybill service provider. For an automotive or appliance sub-supplier in Merzifon OIZ, the ERP, production planning and the OEM customer’s supplier portal come first. Wiring every system directly to every other one creates a web that breaks at the first change.

A middleware layer brings those connections into one place. A sample flow: a batch of cherries weighed on the scale reaches the middleware; a purchase record opens in the ERP, a storage room is assigned and sensor data is linked to that batch; at shipment, the market notification and e-Waybill draft are generated from the same record. If the service provider does not respond, the message waits in a queue, is retried, and the same document is never created twice. We explain these patterns in outbox pattern, idempotency and retries, and the overall design in our enterprise integration middleware architecture guide.

For tourism businesses the scenario revolves around the booking engine, channel manager and payment provider. In both cases the middleware keeps an audit trail of who sent what and when. We build this with our API and integration service and the API and data integration platform.

How should a software project in Amasya be phased?

Agricultural workloads are seasonal; the cherry harvest fits into a few weeks. The project calendar therefore has to follow the harvest: taking a new system live in the middle of the season leaves the field team alone with an unfamiliar tool at their busiest moment.

Phase 1: Off-season discovery

During the winter months we map processes, storage and systems, and review last season’s problem shipments as sample cases.

Phase 2: An MVP for one product and one cold store

Batch records and storage monitoring go live for, say, cherries and a single cold store only; the team tries the system with real weighing and labelling before harvest.

Phase 3: Integration and roll-out

Market notification, e-Waybill and accounting connections are added through the middleware, and other products and stores follow the same template. Every step has written acceptance criteria and a rollback plan.

Checklist before choosing a software partner in Amasya

Clarifying these points internally before you request proposals lets you compare vendors on scope rather than price alone.

• Have you mapped where the batch number is created and changed from purchase to shipment?
• Is there an inventory of storage sensors, scales, label printers and accounting systems?
• Are wholesale market registration and e-Waybill obligations in scope?
• Is the field team’s need to work offline defined?
• Are acceptance criteria and the post-go-live support period (SLA) defined?
• Does the contract state clearly who owns the source code and documentation?

For the full evaluation framework, see our guide on how to choose a software company.

How can Aksiyon Soft help?

Through our enterprise software solutions service we build batch traceability, storage monitoring, field apps, web and booking systems, and the integration layer that ties them together in one consistent product. Our delivery model has four steps: discovery (process and system inventory), an MVP (for example batch tracking for one product and one cold store), two-week sprint demos, and hypercare followed by SLA-backed support after go-live.

Our team is based in Samsun and works remotely across Türkiye; we do not claim a branch or representative office in Amasya. Merzifon OIZ’s location on the Samsun highway makes it easy to combine discovery and acceptance days into planned visits. To compare neighboring provinces, read our guides for Tokat, Corum, Yozgat, Kirikkale and Ankara; for how our head office works, see Samsun enterprise software partner.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have an office in Amasya?

No. Our head office is in Samsun. We run day-to-day work with Amasya companies remotely and plan on-site visits for steps such as discovery, acceptance or go-live.

Can we keep our existing storage sensors?

In most cases, yes. Depending on how the sensors expose data, we bring readings into the middleware and link them to batch and room records; compatibility is tested during discovery.

Will the field app work in orchards with weak coverage?

Yes, it can be designed to work offline. Data is stored on the device and synced to head office when a connection is available.

Do you handle wholesale market registration and e-Waybill integration?

Yes. Depending on your integration method, we connect market notifications and e-Waybill creation to your batch and shipment records.

Do you build websites with online booking for hotels or guesthouses?

Yes. We build mobile-friendly websites, online booking and payment provider integrations according to your scope.

Who owns the source code?

That is set in the contract. Enterprise projects usually aim to hand over source code and documentation to the client; third-party licenses are listed during discovery.
