MicoQR
MicoQR: Mobile app for traceable mushroom supply management
MicoQR is a mobile Android app developed by Cesefor that enables traceability and guarantees the legality of the purchase and sale of wild mushrooms. Through the application, mushroom buying and selling companies can register their purchases of fresh mushrooms in the field, print delivery notes, batch labels for the boxes, and manage everything from the office. A technician can search, edit, and export purchases and lots on their platform, identifying them by their reference printed on the labels and delivery notes. The initiative promotes sustainable foraging practices, advocating for responsible management of mushroom resources. Operating within the food product sector, Cesefor focuses on digital operations and traceability. Its traceability features allow businesses to monitor mushrooms’ journey from forest to market, ensuring transparency and accountability across the supply chain. By recording purchases and generating detailed lot labels, the app facilitates quality control, ensuring fresher and safer mushrooms for consumers. Forest owners also benefit from MicoQR by potentially creating economic opportunities. These include making partnerships with mushroom-buying companies, ensuring compliance assurance, and reducing the risk of illegal harvesting activities, thus contributing to the long-term health of the area.
