Singapore-based software developer Agridence has developed a digital platform specifically for the Global Platform for Sustainable Natural Rubber (GPSNR) reporting requirements (RR) with the aim of simplifying the process of sustainability data reporting, collection and aggregation for the natural rubber value chain. When the exercise was first introduced to GPSNR members in 2022, a major tire maker reached out to Agridence to develop a solution to improve the reporting process and make data consolidation and aggregation easier. In 2023, two more major tire manufacturers started to use the tool.
In previous years, some GPSNR members expressed concerns about the redundant efforts required to generate reports for multiple downstream customers, who requested the reports in different formats.
To that end, Agridence was appointed by GPSNR as a service provider, and has developed an online form for users. Data will then be consolidated in a consistent format to reduce efforts in reformatting data into a single file for data aggregation.
“Agridence has developed an intuitive digital form that consolidates the reporting process onto one efficient platform. We hope this will help in ensuring a smooth data collection process without duplication and multiple formats. Their ongoing commitment to enhancing usability and meeting our members’ needs have made the collaboration fruitful,” said GPSNR platform director Stefano Savi.
As part of Agridence’s service agreement with GPSNR, only selected GPSNR secretariat staff can access the data, in accordance with the permission settings set by GPSNR.
