C-sar Research

Data capturing in agricultural research projects can be cumbersome. Field trips are complicated, expensive and time consuming. Data collection sheets get lost, data is incomplete or inaccurate (e.g through accidental column sorting in Excel). We have experienced these problems ourselves.

With Cropster's C-sar platform you can

  • Collect your data in parallel in a central database.
  • Check quickly if your data is complete and meaningful (already before running complex analysis).
  • Securely access your data everywhere and at any time.
  • Attach geographic references to your data and browse it on the integrated online map.
We offer
  • Persistent data housing: No matter if co-workers are on vacations, travel or retire, your data is accessible. Moving offices, system upgrades, system break downs or even an office fire are no threat to your data anymore. Your data is safe with C-sar.
  • Sustainable solution for development projects. In case your project or investigation includes a long-term strategy on data usage, but the project lifespan is limited, C-sar is the perfect fit. The platform offers the possibility to implement information management methods during the project phase - your target group continues using it long after the project was finished.
  • What about customization? Questionnaires and reports can be adopted to fit exactly your needs.
  • And by the way: C-sar helps you to bring your data collections out of your mail box.

Features

 

Production Management

Production affects quality. Whether farms, the state of the fields, varieties, harvest season, photos or post harvest facilities all can be managed in C-sar. Later added quality data can reference production sites. Different reports and analysis will help out then to learn from matching production and quality data.

Geographic Support

Production highly depends on geographic parameters. C-sar helps you to present quality data in online maps. It helps you to group quality and to identify similar areas. Most of the production data in C-sar can be tagged with coordinates.

Extensible

You may have special ideas and visions where C-sar does not yet meet your requirements? Contact us if you want to use customized reports or dedicated modules.

Data import

You have existing data that you want to use right away in C-sar? Let us know. We can help you to organize your data in Excel so that we can integrate it for you.

How can I export data?

C-sar is an open system. You can export and download your data to Excel format.

 

Backup

Your data is valuable and needs highest protection! To protect your data we have implemented a three level data security and backup plan. For our data we use exactly the same architecture. We are happy to share details with you, just let us know.

Fast Web application

Web interfaces can be slow. We test all C-sar sites with slow connections at our department in Colombia.

Languages

C-sar ships in English and Spanish. Use the "World selector" in the header so select yours. We are looking forward to support more languages in the near future.

 

Quality Monitoring

C-sar connects product information along the supply chain. Cupping samples are attached to coffee batches and these are referencing their most accurate source. All references are reflected by C-sar, which enables you to query qualities, compare coffees or check cupping consistency in an easy way.

Collaboration with partners

Benefit with your supply chain partners with data sharing. Why entering data twice? There is no need for that if a secure data sharing mechanism is in place. As a producer you can benefit from quality control feedbacks from your clients. As a roaster you can save time by having producer and harvest data provided by your suppliers.

Traceability

You can trace coffee lots to its source. We support tracing of lots till the farm or washing station level. For your non-blend coffees this means you can tell your clients exactly where the coffee is coming from.
