The Application & Services Layer bridges the Blockchain Core Layer and the end users, providing functional tools, analytics, and dashboards that make the agarwood supply chain transparent, auditable, and actionable. This layer translates raw blockchain events and off-chain data into insights and operational workflows for plantation managers, lab technicians, exporters, and buyers.
1. Core Functions
- Smart Contract Orchestration
- Executes and monitors lifecycle contracts for nursery registration, propagation, inoculation, growth, harvest, extraction, export, and end-buyer verification.
- Automates notifications and approvals based on predefined rules.
- Data Analytics & AI Engine
- Predicts resin yield, optimal harvest windows, and growth performance.
- Detects anomalies in inoculation, growth, or harvest events.
- Provides ESG compliance metrics such as carbon capture, sustainable practices, and biodiversity impact.
- Reporting & Dashboards
- Web and mobile dashboards tailored for stakeholders:
- Operators: Real-time plantation KPIs and alerts
