TraceX’s KML & Excel Tools Revolutionized Farm Data Digitization & Compliance for an Agribusiness Leader
In today’s rapidly evolving agri-food industry, field-level transparency isn’t a luxury — it’s a requirement. Whether it’s Organic certification, EUDR compliance, or global sustainability frameworks, agribusinesses are now expected to prove the origin of their produce with precision and speed.
For one leading agribusiness managing tens of thousands of farmers across multiple regions, keeping up with these demands was becoming overwhelming. Manual data collection methods, disorganized farm records, and inefficient compliance workflows were slowing them down — and putting critical certifications at risk.
They turned to TraceX’s KML Extracts and Excel Farm Import Solution — and the results fundamentally reshaped their operations.
Organic India is a multi-national company which produces certified organic herbal and ayurvedic health products. The company is known for their line of organically grown Tulsi infusions which are sold in India, US, Canada and UK. The company works with thousands of smallholder farmers to cultivate acres of sustainable organic farmland.

Challenge
Cumbersome Manual Farm Onboarding
Adding new farms involved endless spreadsheets, email chains, GPS device files, and manual uploads — error-prone and painfully slow.
Regulatory and Certification Pressures
Meeting standards like Organic, Rainforest Alliance, and EUDR required standardized, verifiable geospatial files — which their legacy systems couldn’t produce efficiently.
Audit and Reporting Bottlenecks
Preparing documentation for compliance audits often took weeks, creating backlogs and risking missed deadlines.
Scaling Limitations
As their farmer network grew, the gaps in farm data quality and traceability widened — slowing expansion plans and jeopardizing buyer trust.
The Solution:
TraceX deployed a customized solution centered around two critical tools:
Excel Farm Import
Enabled the agribusiness to upload thousands of farm records — including GPS coordinates, farmer names, plot sizes, and crop details — in bulk using a simple, standardized Excel template.
No manual re-entry. No risk of formatting errors.
KML, SHP, and GeoJSON Extracts
Allowed the team to instantly generate compliant geospatial files for all mapped farms, ready for submissions to certification bodies, regulatory authorities, and buyer audits.
These capabilities integrated seamlessly with their existing workflows, making farm traceability, compliance reporting, and audit preparation faster, easier, and bulletproof.
Results
Faster farm onboarding: What once took weeks was streamlined into a few hours, allowing rapid scaling across farmer networks.
Improved geospatial data quality: Reduced manual corrections dramatically, achieving near-perfect accuracy on the first attempt.
Accelerated audit preparation: Cut compliance reporting timelines significantly, making the team always audit-ready.
Zero compliance failures: Achieved full approval during farm mapping audits, building stronger trust with certifiers and buyers.
Expanded onboarding capacity: Multiplied the number of farmers onboarded monthly, supporting aggressive growth and sourcing targets.
