Developed an enterprise-ready Block-chain solution for tracking the overall co�ee supply chain process from pro-duction to delivery for increased transparency, traceability, and profit-ability

Challenges

Co�ee has been a popular drink for centuries, yet its supply chain possesses numerous chal-lenges such as fragmented production, climate change, commodity market instability, and more. Moreover, the Co�ee Supply Chain (CSC) in-volves several intermediaries such as farm-ers/producers, millers, exporters/importers, roasting companies, retailers, and consumers. All that makes the co�ee supply chain extremely complex, expensive, and time-consuming.

It takes days to process payment between man-ufacturers and suppliers, or between customers and vendors. On top of all, the co�ee transac-tions can’t be traced back to suppliers, which is a major concern. The client wanted a Blockchain based solution which could give all stakeholders access to data across the entirety of the supply chain, thereby building trust and transparency throughout the chain.

Our Approach

Seeing our proven track record of delivering ambitious Blockchain projects for enterprises, iFinca approached Debut Infotech with a request to create a robust, intuitive supply chain solution for those immersed in the Co�ee industry. By harnessing our extensive knowledge and hands-on experience in Blockchain technology, we successfully built a supply chain based mobile app which helped the client provide its customers with unprecedented levels of transparency around origin and quality, allowing them to trace and track the origin of co�ee beans by scanning the QR code embedded on the co�ee cup. The app empowered all stakeholders throughout the Co�ee Supply Chain (CSC) to view and analyze traceable data at each step.

Enhanced transparency & e�ciency

Each stakeholder in the supply chain could record, trace, and track the movement of the co�ee, from the local farmers to the wholesale

Cost Reduction

With our Blockchain based solution, middlemen and intermediaries were removed from the equation, which re-duced the probabilities of additional costs and improved the security of the transactions.

Origin Tracking Made Simple

Our solution provided provenance tracking and record keeping which made the information fetching ex-tremely easy with QR codes

Reduced paperwork up to 15%

The client was able to validate every single transaction with tight consen-sus algorithms that didn’t allow data tampering and ensured validity.
