Produce traceability • QR scanning • Field-level origin

Verified from the field up.

CropOrigin helps farms and packing operations capture Key Data Elements (KDEs) at Critical Tracking Events (CTEs) — then turn it into clear trace-back reporting, faster recall response, and confidence your customers can see.

Real Time Visibility: Once synced, all pertinent information for any FDA requests can be made available in a moments notice.

One scan links the QR code to growing inputs, field location, harvest details, and product identifiers so you can prove origin quickly and consistently, maintaining compliance with FSMA 204.

Field-level origin

Traceability that starts where your product starts

CropOrigin links harvest events to the fields, crews, and inputs behind every lot — so trace-back reporting reflects real growing conditions, not reconstructed paperwork.

  • Fields & blocks
  • Harvest crews
  • Growing inputs
  • Harvest events

Traceability that reduces risk and builds trust.

Designed for fresh produce teams that need fast, dependable traceability — from field collection to reporting — without slowing crews down.

01

Traceability readiness

Capture the right event data at scan time and produce trace-back outputs on demand (fields configurable for your program).

02

Respond faster when it matters

Identify the scope of an issue quickly with trace-forward/trace-back views — so decisions happen in minutes, not days.

03

Origin transparency customers can see

Let partners (consumers, packers & wholesalers) scan a code and view origin details you choose to publish (location granularity is configurable).

How CropOrigin works

A simple workflow: assign a unique QR, capture field data at scan time, sync to the cloud, and generate visibility + reporting.

  1. 1

    Assign unique QR codes

    Print QR codes on packaging, labels, or harvest tags — each representing a product ID and lot context.

  2. 2

    Capture location + harvest details

    At scan time, record GPS (or block/field selection), date/time, crew information, and required traceability fields.

  3. 3

    Instant upload and validation

    Send scan events to the cloud when online; support offline capture with later sync.

  4. 4

    Reporting & visibility

    See real-time production snapshots and generate trace-back outputs quickly when asked by partners or auditors.

Built for field crews — useful for everyone.

CropOrigin is seamlessly implemented into your harvest. With ease of use at the forefront, CropOrigin is designed to be used in the field by all levels of employee in your operation.

Mobile scanning • QR + camera

Fast scan UI

Fast scan UI with clear feedback, large touch targets, and simplified flows for field conditions.

Localization • field / block / row

Capture origin your way

Capture origin with GPS or farm-defined locations (field/block/row/zone) — whichever your teams trust.

Compliance outputs • trace-back

Structured trace-back

Generate structured trace-back summaries and export formats (CSV/PDF/API) as required by your program.

Cloud sync • real-time visibility

Near real-time harvest activity

Keep operations informed with near real-time harvest activity and lot creation events.

Customer view • optional portal

Origin page behind the QR

Publish a friendly "origin page" behind the QR code for partners/customers (you control what's shown).
