Abstract India is one of the highest Sugar consumption countries in the world. However, as per production is concerned, India has notched up second position following Brazil, the largest sugar producer in the world. Normally cane harvesting is done by normal course ie traditional methods by way of manual modes to perform cultivation and harvesting process which requires more manpower and time consumption and the sequence of operations is also more and to delay in transportation of cane to the factory, which incurs losses for both farmers and industries. In view of this, we intend to implement the system application product (SAP) in sugar industry particularly in cane cultivation and harvesting and transportation of cane to the factory with reduced manpower, reduced time and limited operations without paperwork. By implementing SAP(MM-Module) in sugar cane industry particularly in cane cultivation, harvesting and lifting of cane will definitely reduce the manpower which in turn increase the profitability of the company and more over it is very transparent in nature and one can get all the information about stock in yard, inside factory premises and incoming data etc all these informations will be accessed immediately as and when required round the clock.
