The DATAGREEN (DG) Platform
SourceTrace Systems DATAGREEN (DG) platform sets the industry standard for remote data transaction systems with robust applications that have been deployed in low-bandwidth environments on three continents. Designed for emerging markets with narrowband communications, DATAGREEN (DG) is optimized to use small data packets and wireless transactions to reduce costs and maximize speed.
The DATAGREEN (DG) platform is easily integrated with most of the standard “Backend Systems”. The DATAGREEN (DG) platform is designed to meet the server-side security demands of multinational corporations offering unequaled reliability, real time processing and accurate data recording with a clear audit trail.
The platform is comprised of:
- DATAGREEN (DG) Remote: flexibility to transmit data using Java-phones, Tablets and Smartphones
- DATAGREEN (DG) Server: visibility and management of global data and remote devices
- DATAGREEN (DG) Adapter: our middleware for interconnection with existing “Backend Systems”

DATAGREEN (DG) Remote
The DATAGREEN (DG) ™ Remote application offers a solution for immediate remote transaction. It is designed for the most demanding environments with low bandwidth or even without a permanent connection.
The DATAGREEN (DG) Remote application allows transactions in various remote devices like regular Java enabled phones, Smartphones, Tablets and POS-like devices as well as standard computers and laptops.
The DATAGREEN (DG) ™ Remote application integrates several peripherals such as:
- Fingerprint biometrics
- Smart cards reader
- GPS through built-in phone GPS device
- 1D (barcode) and 2D (QR code) barcode scanning
- Digital image capture through built-in phone camera
- Printing of receipts and stickers through mobile printer
- Connecting other external devices via Bluetooth such as Digital Scales and other
DATAGREEN (DG) Server
The DATAGREEN (DG) Server application is the transactional software in charge to set and manage the communications with DATAGREEN (DG) Remote application.
The DATAGREEN (DG) Server provides a Web interface for configuring and administering the DATAGREEN (DG) technology. Administrators of the DATAGREEN (DG) platform are able to manage remote devices and users. DATAGREEN (DG) Server also provides the Web users access to Custom Reports, Charts and Digital Maps to display geographic information related with transactions.
The DATAGREEN (DG) Server has a transactional engine responsible for receiving and responding to all transactional requests made by the remote devices.
The transactional engine of DATAGREEN (DG) Server has a complex logic that allows a per transaction level of authentication with reliability and robustness, and uses advanced rollback techniques to maintain the integrity of transactions (in remote devices and centralized systems) in case of breakdowns in communications.
DATAGREEN (DG) Adapter
The DATAGREEN (DG) Adapter allows DATAGREEN (DG) platform to interface with multiple “Backend Systems”. Thus, DATAGREEN (DG) platform has the potential of unprecedented interconnectedness, as it allows integrating a wide variety of backend systems with different standards and technologies regardless of their size. The DATAGREEN (DG) Adapter allows you to:
- Establish interfaces with off-line systems for batch processing.
- Establish interfaces with online systems for real-time processing.
- Supports standard and proprietary methods of data exchange using:
- Web Services, SOAP, XML
- ISO 8583
- JDBC / ODBC
- TCP / IP and RAW socket
- Message Queue
- Enterprise Service Bus
- Exchange via text files
- Establish scheduled tasks, such as implementation of data reconciliation processes or catalog updates. This feature is independent for every “Backend System”
- Establish business rules specific for communications with every “Backend System”
CarbonTrace
Data is the biggest challenge when it comes to connecting farmers with carbon markets. SourceTrace brings experience of nearly a decade in building solutions to meet the data gap in agriculture to carbon farming.
Our solution, CarbonTrace, helps organisations solve the data challenge in carbon farming. CarbonTrace has the unique distinction of being useful for large farms as well as small farm holdings. By aggregating small farmers, our goal is to include them in the sustainability network and passing the benefits of carbon sequestration down to the smallest contributors.

CARBONTRACE – STAKEHOLDER MAP
Why CarbonTrace
Makes agriculture future ready
Reduces agriculture’s carbon footprint, making it competitive
Verifiable benefit transfers
Satellite based Soil Organic Carbon Storage Monitoring
SourceTrace uses data from Sentinel and Landsat satellite imagery to bring ease and accuracy into carbon storage estimations. The automated processing chain was developed to process the multi-sensor satellite imagery and derive meaningful information at farm level.
Our satellite data combined with verified data from the ground enable you to see the entire picture of conservation practice adoption, for example tillage and crop residue burning etc.
