Farmer & Plantation Enrollment
The Farmer Enrollment module enables capture of information directly from farmers and plantation crops.- Provides a unified and up-to-date plantation and farmers database
- GPS technology and photos for plantation areas.
- Captures the profile of the plantation areas, along with farmers details.
Oil Palm Plantation
- Track Harvesting Operations
- Gather bunch size & Map bug traps
- Soil and leaf chemical analysis mapping
- Improve fertilizer utilization in zones judiciously
- Better visibility of activities and productivity,
- Internal Control Systems for (RSPO)
- Automation of Bunch Weight captures using SourceTrace DATAGREEN (DG) Solution
- Yield Map
Oil Palm Crop Monitoring
Oil Palm Crop Monitoring module is the perfect way to record field visits allowing to capture photos and notes on each visit.- Gather bunch size: register the size of the bunch and map its location to get a productivity map for Oil Palm
- Gather exact weight of palm bunch: using a portable Bluetooth digital scale palm harvesters can weigh in palm bunches at the bottom of the palm tree where they harvested. This information is linked with GPS coordinates to provide highly accurate productivity maps.
- Attach visit notes to the farmer profile
- Track technical assistance staff activities
- Record GPS and photos on each visit
- Keep notes on crop evolution
- Map bug traps: map the location of bug traps and relate the information with the productivity map
Input Distribution
Input Distribution module enables the efficient distribution of inputs such as Fertilizers, Seeds, Pesticides and other inputs.- Warehouse-to-Farm traceability of inputs
- Transactions recorded at the source & transmitted in real time
- Monitor stocks in remote warehouses, improve processes and prevent leakages
- Type, Quantity and Price of the inputs are recorded
- Soil and leaf chemical analysis mapping: map the location of soil and leaf samples and load the results, so you can understand better the underlying soil structure and plant deficiencies and cross reference the information with the productivity map
- Improve fertilizer utilization in zones which requires the most
- Have better visibility of activities and productivity, and make efficient use of resources
e-Traceability
- Farm-to-Fork traceability of produce
- At the time of enrollment process, farmers, farms, profiles, along with plantation crop practices are recorded. A unique ID is generated which identifies the source (Farmer) of the produce and links it with all the Farmer Centric data, like certifications, farming practices, and other information like GPS co-ordinates
- Upstream traceability is unique for each supply chain but SourceTrace DATAGREEN (DG) platform has the flexibility to adapt to many different scenarios
Procurement and Payment
Procurement and Payment module enables the efficient purchase of agricultural produce.- Transactions recorded at the source & transmitted in real time
- Quality, quantity and price are recorded
- Shorter payment cycles to smallholder farmers
- Calculate the production cost
- Farmer account management
Harvest Planning & Product Transfer
- Yield estimation of field, cluster, village and planning harvest strategy
- Pre-harvest information collection
- Post-harvest information like actual yield, grade, quantity dispatched etc.
- Visibility of remote stocks and in-transit produce
- Accountability between remote gathering points and central processing facilities
- Transport vehicle tracking including driver information
- Multiple product tracking in same vehicle
- Inventory tracking
- built-in GPS tracking software Tracks when and where the workers started to work in the plantation, for how long and see the full path inside the plantation.
Certification (ICS)
Certification module enables the digitization of Internal Control System (ICS) to support Internal inspection, farmers training and certification process.- Collect Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) internal audit data directly in the field using the mobile application
- All data is stored in a central database for reporting and analysis
- Easiest way to follow up on non conformities and action plans
- Mobile application includes farm area calculation and perimeter mapping using built in mobile GPS
- Evidence capture through photos and GPS location
