As they are working through FPOs, their requirements are a bit different from what is offered by a standard farm traceability platform.  Their unique requirements are:

• Ability to manage the FPOs and the numerous farmer groups or the ICSs under each of them.
• Provide farm inputs to farmers on credit or after collecting money.  Maintain a farmer ledger to adjust the dues against the final purchase of farm produce from the farmer.
• Through the software the FPOs should be able to Buy the produce from the farmers.
• Need for a farm level ERP system for processing the farm goods for value addition into saleable commodities
• A proper inventory management system
• An eCommerce platform to help market the organic produce procured and processed from the farmers

Solution Offered by Corbel

Trace AgTech, our farm traceability software was upgraded to build in these features.  Now ICCOA can :

• Track data against each ICS
• Distribute farm inputs
• Maintain farmer wise ledger
• Source farm produce from farmers
• Process and pack them into value added products
• Maintain full traceability of these products all the way down to field level activities
• Offer these products for sale to customers

We understand the need for an end to end solution, especially for FPOs.  Unlike corporates, they cannot afford to have a separate ERP system to manage their processing operations.  Accordingly new modules for Logistics, inventory management and operations were built into Trace AgTech

• Using a single platform ICCOA can monitor multiple farmer groups/FPOs
• Set uniform parameters for all the FPOs from the admin panel
• Each FPO can manage their training, sourcing, processing, inventory, etc independently.
