Acopio - Traceability and Data Management
This document summarizes the services of an organization called Acopio that uses technology to help agricultural producer groups in Latin America. They offer business management applications to help cooperatives collect, manage, and share operational data. This data can help reduce costs, strengthen member relationships, improve quality, reduce risk for partners, and allow cooperatives to share their story. Their main application is called AcopioPlus, which works on any device and helps with tasks like farmer registration, certification, deliveries, and tracking defects. They customize AcopioPlus for each cooperative and provide training and ongoing support. Keys to success include buy-in from management, dedicated staff, clear processes, connectivity, partnerships, and understanding technology's limitations.
