Advancing Agriculture with a Certified Seed Management Platform
Project Summary
Techversant partnered with the Washington State Crop Improvement Association (WSCIA), a non-profit organization collaborating with public and private breeding programs, universities, and state agencies. The initiative focused on building a certified seed management and distribution system that enables growers and seed conditioners to track, manage, and distribute certified seed seamlessly.
The platform integrates compliance checks, crop data, and certification workflows, ensuring growers have timely access to high-quality seeds. Built with .NET Core, ReactJS, and Azure Cloud, the solution delivers scalability, security, and ease of use for growers, regulators, and seed organizations.
