Farm-to-Table Product Traceability Platform

Project Summary

This is an innovative web and mobile application designed to ensure food quality, traceability, and consumer transparency for meat and fruit products. The system allows shoppers to scan QR codes on product packaging to access detailed information about the product’s origin — including the animal’s life history, farm location, processing details, and more. The platform integrates with the BoviSync API to retrieve animal lifecycle data based on unique ear tag IDs. Upon scanning a product's QR code, consumers are directed to a dynamic product traceability page generated via real-time API calls.

Objectives

Improve food safety and supply chain transparency.
Offer consumers farm-to-table product traceability via QR code scanning.
Optimize the app to handle concurrent bookings using Golang’s goroutines and channels.
Automate the generation of traceability pages linked to animal lifecycle data.
Build scalable web and mobile applications to manage traceability records and consumer interactions.

Responsibilities

Led the development of system architecture and codebase for web and mobile components.
Collaborated with cross-functional teams for domain knowledge sharing and requirement finalization.
Developed new feature modules, including QR code generation and product history pages.
Integrated and optimized Web APIs for real-time animal history retrieval.
Managed version control and cloud deployments via Git and Heroku.

Client Impact

● Enhanced Consumer Trust: Provided shoppers with transparent, verifiable product histories at the point of sale.
● Improved Food Safety Compliance: Ensured traceability from farm to retail shelf, aiding in regulatory reporting and recall management.
● Streamlined Supply Chain Monitoring: Enabled grocers and suppliers to track product batches, reducing operational risks.

Approach

Product Traceability System

● Developed a QR code-based traceability workflow.
● Generated unique QR codes linking to product trace pages using animal-specific identifiers (ear tag IDs).
● Enabled dynamic API calls to BoviSync for animal history retrieval each time a QR code is scanned.
Web & Mobile Application Development

● Designed and built a responsive web application with mobile-friendly features to handle QR code redirections and traceability page rendering.
● Ensured seamless UX for both grocers and consumers.
Real-time API Integration

● Integrated BoviSync API for accessing animal rearing, processing, and product history.
● Managed API interactions to dynamically populate traceability pages with up-to-date farm and processing data.
Cloud Deployment & Management

● Deployed application on Heroku for easy scalability and maintenance.
● Implemented continuous integration and deployment workflows via Git.

Conclusion

Farm-to-Table Product Traceability Platform successfully delivered a reliable, scalable solution that connected consumers directly with the origins of their food. Through its seamless integration with BoviSync and user-friendly QR code interactions, the platform enhanced transparency, traceability, and trust in the Agritech and food supply chain sectors.
