Identifying Core Challenges in Biofuel Supply Chain Transparency and Compliance

The client faces complex challenges related to ensuring transparency, security, and compliance across multi-stage biofuel production processes involving hundreds of suppliers and intricate logistics. Current reliance on paper-based documentation increases the risk of fraud and non-compliance, threatening environmental goals and access to EU subsidies. Existing systems lack scalability and proper security measures to support growth and integration with enterprise systems.

About the Client

A mid- to large-scale enterprise operating within the renewable energy sector, focusing on biofuel sourcing, production, and compliance management, seeking to digitize and streamline sustainability documentation and supply chain processes.

Objectives for a Robust Biorefinery Supply Chain Digital Platform

  • Develop a scalable, enterprise-grade digital platform capable of supporting thousands of users across multiple countries.
  • Ensure high security standards, including code refactoring and infrastructure improvements, to safeguard data integrity and support compliance.
  • Implement seamless migration of existing user data to the new platform without service disruption.
  • Create flexible user profiles with tailored functionalities to accommodate diverse stakeholders, from local farmers to multinational corporations.
  • Design and deploy an API-driven, headless service architecture enabling integration with large enterprise ERP and BSS systems.
  • Support adherence to relevant regulatory frameworks such as EU's RED II directive, facilitating compliance and accreditation.

Core Functional Requirements for a Sustainable Biofuel Traceability Platform

  • Digital documentation management for sustainability proofs sourced from multiple suppliers.
  • Multi-profile user management with customizable views and functionalities based on user roles and needs.
  • End-to-end supply chain tracking, involving data from initial collection points to large corporate end-users.
  • Secure data architecture with enterprise-grade security protocols, including code refactoring and infrastructure hardening.
  • Migration tools for seamless transfer of existing data and user profiles to the new platform.
  • APIs and headless architecture to enable integration with corporate ERP and BSS systems for large enterprise clients.
  • Compliance tracking tools aligned with EU regulations such as RED II, including real-time reporting and audit support.

Preferred Architectural and Technological Approaches

Microservices architecture to ensure modularity and scalability
Next.js for frontend development, ensuring user-friendly UX/UI
Cloud services such as AWS Lambda and AWS Amplify for serverless and scalable deployment
Node.js for backend services
AWS Cognito for secure user authentication
Hasura for GraphQL APIs
PostgreSQL for structured, secure data storage

Essential External System Integrations

  • ERP systems for large enterprise resource planning and manufacturing data synchronization
  • BSS systems for business support and operational management
  • EU regulatory compliance databases and reporting tools
  • Existing supply chain management systems to enable end-to-end tracking

Critical Non-Functional System Attributes

  • Support for scaling to thousands of simultaneous users across over 100 countries
  • Strict security protocols to prevent data breaches and fraudulent activities
  • High availability with 99.9% uptime SLA
  • Data integrity and traceability assurance, with secure data backup and recovery processes
  • Fast response times, with system latency under 2 seconds for key operations

Projected Business Impact of the Digital Traceability Platform

The platform is expected to significantly improve transparency and compliance in the biofuel supply chain, reducing fraud risk and enabling participation in EU sustainability programs. It aims to support thousands of users globally, foster trust among stakeholders, and streamline regulatory reporting, thereby enhancing market confidence and unlocking new revenue opportunities.
