solution for the purpose of traceability , it must also be relatively easy to set up different commodities / products and specify the particular physical attributes that influence pricing and settlement .
Increasingly , users are demanding that the CM / CTRM solution aids them in supply chain optimization , which includes traceability . The ability to identify slower , less reliable or more costly transporters , for example , is one area where optimizations can be made . Additionally , all three approaches described above to traceability , must be supported .
Generation 10 ( Gen10 )
Gen10 is a company that has had traceability and supply chain optimization firmly in mind since its inception in 2000 . It provides a number of solutions on its cloud-based Commodity Manager platform , from specific stand-alone products like its G10 Supply Chain Map to its comprehensive CTRM suite .
For example , G10 Commodity Manager can be used to track biomass from forest to generation through the entire supply chain and any certificates generated or traded along the way . This allows the generator to prove the power it is generating is green as well as to calculate and claim any subsidies it is entitled to . In the area of cocoa , it easily tracks cocoa through a complex supply chain , allowing tracing of beans back to their source . The same with palm oil and rubber .
Green Power Traceability
The underlying architecture caters for extensible data collection , fluid business processes and workflows . The traceability module handles bulk , lots , units and all the splitting , merging , blending , reweighing , reclassifying , certifying and revaluing that happens in the real world . It ’ s inherently flexible - multi-unit of measure / conversion solution that allows new commodities / products to be defined to the system without enhancement or modification . Similarly , for each commodity , the important physical attributes can be added , utilized and valued in the solution without coding . It was one of the first solutions available commercially to be able to track coffee and cotton at the individual package level , for example .
