ECropOrigin’s The Coffee Connection Application

ECropOrigin just launched The Coffee Connection Application (TCCA), a tool that provides traceability and increases transparency throughout the coffee supply chain.
TCAA, available for mobile devices and desktop computers, tracks the entire cycle of coffee operations and production from farming to processing to purchasing. By improving coffee production at the source, TCCA increases efficiency and, ultimately, quality, as it provides a complete resource for capturing data.
TCCA is customized for all partners involved in coffee production and sales: farmers, brokers, green buyers, and roasters. It provides transparency by connecting farmers to buyers across the coffee supply chain, tracking available inventory, and streamlining the process by providing improved communication tools for managing transactions. In addition, TCCA helps track the authenticity of the origin of the coffee source, including verifying organic certification and the region in which the coffee was produced.
“TCCA is the most comprehensive application for farmers as a key data resource, while also creating essential connections in the process of moving coffee from point to point,” says Jean Orlowski, ECropOrigin founder. “The ability to trace the process from the field all the way to the cup of coffee people are drinking, ensuring quality and authenticity, is a valuable asset to coffee production that builds trust in the industry.”
TCCA’s interface provides inventory management, reporting and accounting tools, and increases transparency and interaction in the following ways:
Farmers can utilize real-time dashboards to create logs and records to track all parts of farm procedures, processing, inventory, and accounting, providing valuable information that can improve a farm’s bottom line, with the convenience of having a mobile application in the field. The app is free for farmers.
Brokers and Buyers can see logs created by farmers, including details on picking dates, types and regions and are able to purchase directly or create purchase requests through TCCA. The application automatically updates inventory availability.
Roasters can track company inventory to see the availability of coffee by region, including type — cherry, parchment, or green — as well as grade and origin.
Consumers can view QR codes on coffee packaging that trace the farm origin and provide historical data, including picking date and organic certification, if applicable.
