Our traceability infrastructure is designed to connect physical cocoa and coffee lots with the origin information and transaction records behind them.
Traceability is not a separate product sitting beside the commodity. It is part of how BeanPaths verifies supply.
Depending on the supply programme, BeanPaths can associate a commodity lot with information such as:
Producer identity and details
Farm-level information
GPS coordinates
Plot boundaries
Cocoa or coffee
Harvest period
Processing method
Lot identification
Collection center
Export entity
Shipment details
Associated records
Traceability helps buyers answer three basic questions:
Origin and producer information can be linked to the commercial lot.
Relevant records and documentation remain associated with the transaction.
Lot and shipment information provide continuity through the supply chain.
BeanPaths is building its infrastructure around actual commodity transactions rather than traceability for its own sake.
The objective is simple:
Physical product and supporting evidence should remain connected.
