Leveraging IASO’s strengths in precise geolocation, field-level registries, data collection, workflows, and open APIs, agriculture programs can build robust, extensible solutions for farm registration, compliance tracking, and supply-chain traceability.
Farm and Field Registry
IASO creates a structured registry of farms and fields. Each farm is mapped with precise GPS coordinates, and associated fields are drawn as polygons or captured as points.
Registration happens through mobile devices that work both online and offline. Field agents or farmers can capture boundaries, photos, and supporting documents. Updates (such as new plots or changing cultivation practices) are pushed directly to the central registry.
This provides a unified system of record that can be shared with traders, exporters, and regulatory authorities. 
Traceability of Produce and Logistics
IASO can be configured to support item-level or batch-level tracking along agricultural supply chains:
- Mobile data collection with timestamped and geolocated entries.
- Packaging or batch identification through QR codes for field-to-export traceability.
- Digital tracking of movement from farm → collection point → processing → export.
This enables exporters to provide verifiable supply-chain histories that satisfy buyer and regulatory requirements.
Integrating satellite imagery and external datasets
Through OpenHEXA, IASO connects with satellite imagery and other geospatial datasets. Analysts can detect land-use change, verify compliance, calculate area statistics or merge multiple data sources to support audit processes or buyer reporting.
For advanced data pipelines, processing, and analytics, IASO integrates seamlessly with OpenHEXA.
Use cases include:
- Automated data transfer from IASO to analytical tools (e.g., Power BI).
- Integration of satellite imagery for deforestation verification.
- Merging farm registries with trader or exporter datasets.
- Running geospatial analyses (e.g., accessibility, land-cover classification).
- Creating dashboards for government agencies or private-sector partners.
