Connect
Digitally connecting even the most remote farmers to global supply chains.
Traceability, to us, only counts if it goes all the way back to farm level. The fact that small-scale farmers often live in remote areas, maybe even without internet coverage, may complicate things. That’s why we designed Connect, a new module of the Trace ecosystem. Connect caters to collectors who traverse remote farmlands to acquire harvested goods. Moreover, Connect is the ‘socket’ to plugin existing data systems and load them into Trace, making it an essential part of any company’s journey towards transparency storytelling.
Some key-features
Enrolling farmers
Farmers receive a personal NFC-based Farmer Card, with which they can validate transactions when selling their products. No smartphone needed!
Recording on-site transactions
Using the app, collectors record transactions on site, streamlining the collection process and facilitating farmer-verified payments by scanning the farmer’s card.
Data synchronisation
Connect works as a data collection agent, focusing mainly on basic farmer data and transactions. It allows for a smooth synchronisation of data between the Trace ecosystem and other, external systems, like cooperative management systems or ERP tools.
Core modules
Authentication
This module empowers administrators to define and manage user roles and permissions, ensuring that users have the appropriate level of access to the system’s features.
Transactions
At the heart of Connect lies the Transactions module, that records all transactions between companies and farmers. This encompasses a wide range of activities, including product transactions and the tracking of farmer payments.
Configurations
This module tailors the Connect experience to suit specific requirements. It offers administrators the ability to customise various aspects of the app’s functionality.
