# SusChain — Supply Chain Traceability

> Traceability is an operations problem before it is a compliance problem.

*From fragmented records to a connected supply chain.*

Most agricultural supply chains already record everything a buyer could ask for — across paper files, spreadsheets and systems that do not talk to each other. SusChain turns those fragmented records into one connected workflow, so traceability is a by-product of running the operation rather than a separate exercise performed under deadline.

The Labs work behind this product: Supply chain traceability

## Operational traceability

Follow the movement and transformation of lots, batches, storage records, shipments and products across the chain, with the data continuity intact at each handover.

## Organisational control

Structured roles, organisation-level management and supplier records, so collaboration across parties happens without giving everyone access to everything.

## A data foundation, not a form

The operational layer is clean enough to support analytics, reporting and sustainability use cases later — including the evidence a buyer audit or a digital product passport will eventually ask for.

## Master data

- Organisations
- Suppliers
- Mills
- Rice types and categories
- Products

## Operational records

- Lots
- Batches
- Storage
- Shipments
- Status-based processing flow

## System controls

- Authentication
- Admin functions
- Role-based operations
- Dashboard views

## Workflow

1. Capture: Register the core entities — organisations, suppliers, mills — and the incoming lot data.
2. Process: Create and manage batches, storage movements and the internal transitions between them.
3. Move: Document shipments and connect them back to the batch and product records they came from.
4. Use: Feed dashboards, traceability views, internal controls and — later — sustainability reporting.

## Outcomes

- Traceability that holds across lots, batches and shipments
- Operational visibility for mills and supply chain managers
- Cleaner data for analytics and reporting
- Readiness for buyer requirements and sustainability disclosure
- A base layer for digital product passport workflows
