- Exporters – Ensure compliance with Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora and global regulations.
- Buyers & Brands – Authenticate products instantly using QR/NFC-based verification.
- Regulators & Certification Bodies – Access transparent and immutable supply chain records.
The platform ensures seed-to-shelf traceability and turns agarwood into a digitally verifiable asset.
Architecture Overview
AgriTrace™ is structured across four integrated layers:
1. Data Capture Layer
Captures real-world events and updates the system in real time.
Key components:
- Mobile field applications for plantations
- QR / NFC tagging for individual trees
- IoT sensors for environmental monitoring
- GPS-enabled location data
2. Blockchain Verification Layer
At the core of the platform is a distributed ledger that stores traceability records securely.
Features:
- Immutable and tamper-proof records
- Timestamped transactions
- Digital signatures for verification
- Transparent chain-of-custody documentation
Every tree, resin batch, and product is linked to a permanent blockchain record.
3. Traceability & Analytics Layer
Transforms raw supply chain data into actionable insights.
Capabilities:
- Supply chain dashboards and analytics
- Tree-level and batch-level traceability
- Harvest, production, and export analytics
- ESG reporting and compliance monitoring
This layer allows operators and investors to visualize performance, compliance, and sustainability metrics.
4. Enterprise & Market Interface Layer
Custom portals and interfaces for each stakeholder:
- Plantation Dashboard – Monitor trees, growth, inoculations
- Processing Facility Portal – Track resin and oil production
- Exporter Documentation Center – Streamline permits and customs
- Regulatory Interface – Monitor compliance and certifications
- Buyer Authentication Portal – Verify product origin instantly
The platform delivers role-based access while maintaining a single source of truth for the entire supply chain.
