SeedChain
Every seed lot carries a scannable QR record that documents its origin, treatments applied, laboratory results and certification history. Dealers and growers can verify authenticity and track quality at a glance.
The problem
Seed producers, multipliers, cooperatives and dealers across Europe struggle to manage lot documentation that remains scattered across paper files, email attachments and disconnected PDFs. When a customer, inspector or regulatory authority demands proof of seed origin, treatments applied or certification history, retrieving that information becomes difficult and fragmented. Recalls present a particular challenge: locating every customer who received a given lot and notifying them reliably requires manual coordination across multiple channels. Preparing comprehensive documentation for national seed certification bodies or competent authorities during routine inspection requires reassembling records from multiple sources, creating bottlenecks and compliance risk.
The product
SeedChain is a web application that captures the complete history of every seed lot in one tamper-evident digital record. From lot creation through treatment events, laboratory tests and certification approvals, all data changes are cryptographically signed and logged to prevent tampering. Every lot receives a scannable QR code that dealers and customers can verify, and the system enables stock tracking through the distribution chain so recall workflows can identify every customer who received that lot. Dealers gain inventory visibility and sales-scan functionality, while producers maintain comprehensive audit trails presented to regulatory inspectors and trading partners alike.
