The implantation of ilEAN Tracer reduces over 75% of the traceability costs in the Peru Coffee Producers Association - CEPICAFE

With the collaboration of GS1, ilEAN Tracer partner and distributor in Perú, the implantation of an ilEAN Tracer system has been a success managing to reduce over a 75% of the time required to register the traceability paths of the company. Before ilEAN Tracer this activity was done by hand, as Yeni Robledo, panela plant chief told.

The details of this implantation were published by the magazine PcWorld Perú and the newspaper Gestión, where Angel Becerra (GS1 manager) and Yeni Robledo Bermeo (panela plant chief) explained the process.

As Robledo Bermeo explained; the 500 sugarcane producers associated to CEPICAFE still registry manually the steps done until the product gets to one of the 22 modules where the sugarcane is processed. Its in this last point where all this information is introduced in the Tracer program.

As the managers says; with the software ilEAN Tracer, you can know in detail the whole process followed to obtain the panela: which producer sow this sugarcane batch, in which hour and day the person in charge watered and fertilize the land. You can also know when the product came in to de plant, the packing date, in which freight the package parted to its final destiny, etc. All this data are available to work with inside the company, but also for the client who may want to verify the origin of the packets. Each bag of 1 and a half kilograms include an universal ilEAN code associated to all this relevant data involved in the production process.

"I just put the number in the program and it shows me automatically all the details about its origin and what happened during all the supply chain", says Robledo Bermeo.
