Solution – Global
Management System (GMS)

Developed through an iterative process with customers over the last four years, the Global Management System (GMS) was commercially brought to market at the beginning of 2021. The GMS was the evolution of the Information Management System (IMS) solution built to provide concise operational visibility all the way to the farmer’s field, across regions, scaling across hundreds of cooperatives and potentially millions of farmers.

Features

Global Sourcing Optimization

Connect all your global sourcing operations in one system, facilitating analysis and assessments at an aggregate level. The GMS provides the ability to display, analyze, and take actions on real-time data, with built-in security control levels. Standardizing centralized activities across different locations, including farmer register updates, certifications, and mapping activities, the GMS brings efficiency, reliability, and scale to global organizations and their first mile data operations.

Single Scalable Global Architecture

The GMS solution provides a single scalable global architecture that allows a large MNC or NGO to monitor and collect sustainability data, conduct centralized GMS surveys and centralized reporting. At the same time, the GMS provides an aggregated database system of all IMS servers in all geographical regions.

Robust, Flexible Security and Permission Scheme

The GMS is GDPR compliant and allows specific data access for users with a detailed and flexible access permission configuration for specific user roles, including customer’s suppliers, both for the web and mobile application. The solution offers a set of permissions that enable a user to complete a certain action (e.g. View, Create) on a specific object (e.g. Farmer, Field) and provides a dynamic and powerful way to operationalize and manage a global supply chain’s first mile data.

Competitive Advantage Downstream

Digital transparency and the aggregated operational control of first mile data allows our customers to differentiate their products and ensure traceability. Combined with innovative tracking and monitoring of progress in achieving sustainability goals, the GMS solution gives our customers the competitive advantage of ensuring a lasting connection between farmers and the customers/suppliers who consume their products.

Proactively Combat Deforestation

The GMS solution integrates new layers of visibility on farming operations, with tools to proactively combat deforestation and achieve sustainable land use practices through mapping field locations in proximity to national parks, rivers, and other natural features.
