Use Cases

Challenge:

The coffee exporter InConexus faced significant challenges in digitalizing its producers’ data and managing its internal control system. Manual records and disorganized processes made it difficult to efficiently track internal inspections and collect field data, impacting traceability and compliance with quality standards.

Solution:

Implementation of the abunda platform to modernize data management, improve the execution of internal inspections, and optimize data collection directly in the field.

Steps:

1. Diagnosis and Preparation:
   
   • Identification of gaps in the internal control system and field data collection.
   • Awareness sessions with team members on the benefits of using abunda for internal inspections.
2. Data Digitalization:
   
   • Migration of initial producer and farm data to the digital system.
   • Automated registration of new plots and their characteristics.
3. Optimization of Internal Inspections:
   
   • Use of the abunda application to conduct field inspections efficiently and consistently.
   • Elimination of physical forms through real-time synchronized digital records.
   • Collection of relevant data such as crop conditions, certification compliance, and photographic records.
4. Technical Training:
   
   • Training internal inspectors in using abunda to facilitate audits.
   • Educating producers on the importance of traceability and how their data supports the process.
5. Analysis and Reporting:
   
   • Automatic generation of inspection reports and performance statistics by farm.
   • Real-time visualization of each producer’s compliance status.
   • Creation of actionable proposals based on field inspections.

Impact on Inconexus:

• Improved Efficiency: Reduced time required to complete internal inspections thanks to automation and centralized data.
• Increased Accuracy: Elimination of errors associated with manual records.
• Transparency and Production Traceability: Instant access to information for clients and certifiers, strengthening trust in the cooperative.
• Empowerment in the Field: Inspectors can act more proactively and effectively with the digital tools provided by abunda.

Key Results:

Since implementing abunda, InConexus has significantly improved its ability to comply with external audits through optimal preparation and risk identification, increased customer confidence, and ensured sustainable and transparent production.

“Particularly as an integral tool for our Due Diligence process, ensuring compliance with the EUDR regulation. It allows us to identify risks of non-compliance with this standard, such as georeferencing areas for deforestation assessment, formalization of land tenure, and discrimination of any kind, among others.

To date, more than 100 productive units are being monitored using the application.”
