Pinpointing Contamination for a Global Coffee Distributor

Food & Beverage

A leading distributor of specialty coffee beans faced a costly recall after a contamination scare. Their paper-based system made it impossible to quickly trace the source, forcing a massive, brand-damaging recall of products from multiple origins.

"The ability to trace a single batch back to its origin in minutes is a game-changer. Errna's solution turned a potential catastrophe into a manageable issue."

- Maria Rodriguez, Head of Quality Assurance, Global Coffee Traders

Key Challenges:

  • Slow, manual tracing process taking weeks.
  • Inability to isolate affected batches.
  • High financial losses from recalling safe products.
  • Erosion of consumer and retailer trust.

Our Solution:

We implemented a permissioned blockchain using Hyperledger Fabric, creating a digital twin for each batch of coffee beans. Key data points from farms, processing mills, and shipping containers were recorded on the immutable ledger.

  • QR codes applied to each sack for easy scanning and data entry.
  • A web-based dashboard for the QA team to visualize the entire supply chain.
  • Smart contracts to validate data entries and flag anomalies.
  • Role-based access for all supply chain partners.

Verifying Organic Status for a Premium Olive Oil Brand

Consumer Packaged Goods

An award-winning olive oil producer was struggling with counterfeit products in export markets, diluting their brand and deceiving consumers. They needed a way to prove the authenticity and organic certification of every bottle.

"Our customers now scan a QR code and see the entire journey from our family grove to their kitchen. This level of trust is priceless. Errna understood our brand's story."

- Alessandro Rossi, Founder, Rossi Organics

Key Challenges:

  • Brand dilution from counterfeit products.
  • Difficulty in proving organic claims to consumers.
  • Complex paper trail for export certification.
  • Lack of direct engagement with end consumers.

Our Solution:

We developed a public-facing traceability solution on the Ethereum blockchain. We tokenized the organic certificates and linked them to specific production batches. A consumer-facing mobile app was created to scan QR codes on bottles.

  • Digital upload and verification of organic certificates on-chain.
  • IoT sensors in the warehouse to monitor temperature and storage conditions.
  • A unique, tamper-proof QR code for each bottle.
  • Consumer app showing the full provenance, certifications, and harvest details.

Automating Payments for a Fair-Trade Cacao Cooperative

Non-Profit / Agriculture Cooperative

A cooperative of over 500 smallholder cacao farmers faced significant delays and high intermediary fees in receiving payment from international buyers. This lack of transparency and slow cash flow hampered their growth and stability.

"For the first time, our farmers are paid the moment their beans are accepted at the port. The transparency has empowered our entire community. Errna delivered more than technology; they delivered trust."

- David Chen, COO, Farmers First Cacao Co-op

Key Challenges:

  • Payment delays of up to 90 days for farmers.
  • High transaction fees from multiple intermediaries.
  • Disputes over quantity and quality of shipments.
  • Lack of access to traditional trade finance.

Our Solution:

We built a smart contract-based system on a consortium blockchain. The smart contract held the buyer's funds in escrow and automatically released payments to the cooperative's wallet upon verified receipt of goods at the destination port.

  • Mobile app for farmers to register their harvest.
  • Integration with logistics partner's tracking system.
  • Smart contract logic for quality checks and automatic payment splits.
  • A transparent dashboard for all parties to view transaction status.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clearing up common questions about implementing blockchain in agriculture.

While a traditional database is controlled by a single entity, a blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger shared among many participants. Its key advantages are immutability (records cannot be altered or deleted) and transparency (all authorized parties see the same version of the truth). This creates a level of trust and security that centralized systems cannot match.

ROI comes from several areas: cost savings from reduced fraud and spoilage, operational efficiencies from automation and faster recalls, and increased revenue from enhanced brand trust and access to premium markets. While specific ROI varies, our clients often see significant returns by tackling their most expensive pain points first.

Adoption is key. We focus on a user-centric design, creating simple mobile and web apps that are easy for non-technical users. We also help you build a strong value proposition for each partner, showing them how the system benefits them directly through faster payments, reduced paperwork, and better data access.

Absolutely. We typically implement permissioned or consortium blockchains (like Hyperledger Fabric) for enterprise use cases. This means you control who has access to the network. Furthermore, data can be encrypted and shared on a need-to-know basis, so competitors or unauthorized parties cannot see your sensitive commercial information.

A typical pilot project, focused on a specific product line or a single pain point, can be designed, built, and launched within 3 to 6 months. Our agile approach allows us to deliver value quickly and gather real-world feedback before scaling the solution.

Costs can be broken down into a few key areas: initial strategy and development, integration with existing systems, and ongoing network maintenance and support. We offer flexible engagement models, including fixed-price projects and dedicated teams, to align with your budget and project requirements. Contact us for a detailed, custom quote.
