In this blog post, we will explore the key features and benefits of Trace Pro and how it is transforming the post-harvest landscape for farmers, processors and consumers alike. Get ready to discover the future of post-harvest traceability with Trace Pro. 

Importance of Post-Harvest Traceability 

The post-harvest phase is a critical component of the agriculture value chain, where the journey of a crop from farm to fork reaches its culmination. It is during this stage that the traceability of agriculture products becomes important. Traceability ensures that the origins, handling and processing of products can be accurately identified and documented. 

Post-harvest traceability plays a vital role in enhancing transparency and accountability across the agri value chain. It allows stakeholders such as farmers, processors, distributors, retailers and consumers to have a clear understanding of the product’s journey from the moment it is harvested to its final destination. This visibility ensures quality and safety of the product, and the sustainability standards are met at every step, promoting consumer confidence and trust. 

Post-harvest enables effective quality control measures and efficient inventory management. This reduces losses in the supply chain and minimizes potential risks such as contamination and fraudulent practices and ensures only safe and high-quality products reach the market. Accurate tracking, movement and handling of products identifies bottlenecks and helps in resolving them leading to streamlined processes, reduced waste and optimized logistics. 

Trace Pro – Features and Functionality 

Trace Pro enables organizations to create detailed records of each step in the post-harvest process, including receiving, processing packaging and distribution. It allows for the seamless integration of key information such as product details, quality parameters, certificates, documents and inventory management. 

Harvest dashboard 

The Post Harvest Tab is a comprehensive repository of information that captures all the relevant details about the agriculture products once they have been harvested and transferred to the organization for further processing and sales. It serves as a central hub for managing and tracking the product’s journey from harvest to the final stages of the value chain. The dashboard provides a graphical representation of the expected, harvested and received quantity of produce based on crop types and varieties. This offers valuable insights into the performance and progress of harvest enabling better decision-making. 

GRN 

The GRN feature is used to record the receipt of incoming inventory items. It allows users to capture essential details such as the quantity, quality, and condition of the received goods. GRN functionality streamlines the process of receiving and managing the farmer produce. It provides a transparent and efficient way to record the transfer of goods from the farmer to the buyer, ensuring that all relevant information is captured and properly accounted for. GRN ensures accurate inventory management and traceability throughout the supply chain. 

Inventory Management 

The inventory tab in Trace Pro is a repository that provides a centralized view of all the products available in the warehouse at different stages of processing and packaging. This allows users to categorize the products based on their stage such as raw produce, onboarded, semi-processed and final packed products.  This helps in efficiently managing and tracking inventory throughout the supply chain. 

This feature also enables the ability to perform actions on each batch of produce. Users can add certificates which could include quality certificates, sustainability certificates and other relevant documentation. These certificates provide valuable information about the product’s origin, quality and compliance with standards. Users can also print labels for the batches, enabling easy identification and traceability of the products. Batch serialization helps unique identification and tracking of individual units within the batch. 

This feature also facilitates sales activities by providing the option to assign batches for sales. This helps in managing the allocation of products to customers or orders. The system also allows for retiring batches from inventory when required, especially for products that have expired or are no longer usable. 

The Inventory Onboarding feature enables users to add raw materials or products into the inventory system. By providing details of the supplier and product, users can efficiently capture the necessary information for each inventory item. The users can also add additional information like quality parameters, any relevant certificates and ensure easy accessibility. 

Manufacturing 

The Manufacturing tab is a versatile module that allows organizations to digitize and streamline their processing activities. It provides a centralized platform to configure and manage the various steps and sub-steps involved in product processing. 

Users can define multiple steps and sub-steps based on specific processing requirements and this capability ensures that the system adapts to the unique workflows and processes followed by the organization. 

The steps can be configured with specific input and output details, enabling precise tracking and documentation of materials and products involved at each stage of processing. Users can perform processing activities for individual batches or group multiple batches together for simultaneous processing. This helps in efficient management of large volume of products, optimizing resources. 

The Manufacturing feature provides real-time visibility and ensures timely completion and facilitates production management. It enables seamless data capture and  analysis. 

Product Processing 

The Product Processing feature allows organizations to configure and manage their specific manufacturing activities for different products. It offers a customizable platform to define process lines and activities based on the unique requirements of each product. Users can create process lines and within each activity, specify the input products and output products associated with that activity. 

On the input side, users can specify batch ID, product name, variety , grade, input quantity and number of containers used. This allows for precise tracking of materials used in manufacturing process. On the output side, users can define output product name, variety, processing details, grade, date of processing, output quantity, unit of measurement, number of containers, packing unit and weight per container. This again enables accurate measurement and inventory management. It provides visibility into the quantity and quality of inputs used and the resulting output quantities and specifications.
