More transparency in the cannabis cultivation process
DECT-S2S Seed-to-Sale-Platform
Cannabis cultivation is a regulated process shaped by numerous legal requirements to ensure the integrity and safety of the supply chain. In this complex environment, a variety of data is generated, crucial for maintaining comprehensive control over production. This data includes information on cultivation locations, methods, fertilizers used, harvest times, and quality control measures. Transparency in these processes is crucial, especially with the increasing legalization of cannabis for recreational use. The introduction of systems like DECT-S2S Seed-to-Sale plays a key role in ensuring that no illegally cultivated cannabis products enter the legal market. Through the comprehensive documentation and management of all processes within the value chain, each link is ensured to comply with legal requirements and quality standards.
The integrated blockchain technology in the DECT-S2S system provides an immutable and transparent record of all relevant data. This not only helps prevent illegal practices but also ensures traceability of cannabis products from seed to sale. This, in turn, allows cultivation companies and Cannabis Social Clubs to fulfill not only the legislated documentation and proof obligations but also strengthen consumer trust in the quality and origin of products. The transparent design of these processes plays a central role in ensuring product quality, consumer protection, and the successful integration of cannabis into legal markets.
That's why DECT-S2S is indispensable
Problem Statement and Scope
The Seed-to-Sale system “DECT-S2S” will manage the entire value chain of a cannabis product, particularly cannabis flowers, from seed to cultivation, harvest, processing, to regulated distribution through Cannabis Social Clubs and later licensed specialty stores. All processes can be traced down to the last detail, ensuring precise accountability. Given that conventional database systems are often susceptible to manipulation, DECT-S2S will implement blockchain technology as a critical component in its system structure. This offers several advantages:
- The transparent, decentralized, and secure database structure of the blockchain allows all transactions and information to be immutably stored. Once data is stored, it is unchangeable and cannot be altered or manipulated, providing ideal conditions for regulatory compliance and verification by government or external control authorities.
- Enhanced security is another advantage. The use of encryption techniques and cryptographic signatures protects data from unauthorized access, helping prevent counterfeiting, fraud, and the illegal and unregulated sale of cannabis.
- Furthermore, the integration of “Smart Contracts” enables automated and secure transactions along the supply chain. Separate smart contracts, based on the blockchain, trigger specific actions automatically when certain conditions are met.
The German government has set clear conditions and requirements with the legalization of cannabis. For Cannabis Social Clubs and cultivation companies, these are systems that accurately capture and document the processes involved in cultivation and distribution. This ensures compliance with legal regulations, which can be verified and proven. The cultivation and distribution of cannabis products must be closely monitored to ensure that legally produced cannabis products do not enter the illegal market and vice versa. Additionally, government authorities can access all information stored in the blockchain, review data, and ensure that all steps and processes are conducted in accordance with legal regulations. This ensures compliance with quality standards. Furthermore, DECT-S2S also addresses consumers who seek information about the quality and origin of cannabis products. They can access and verify information in the blockchain, learning about the source, cultivation, processing, and whether the products meet quality standards. This transparent information retrieval contributes to consumer education.
Who is DECT-S2S for and what benefits does the system offer?
Benefits and Target Audience
The DECT-S2S system targets Cannabis Social Clubs and cultivation companies (B2B) producing and distributing cannabis, needing a secure and transparent platform to precisely manage the entire process from cultivation to distribution. Using our solution, actors can trace and monitor the entire production process, accessing precise information about cultivation location, area, conditions, cultivation period, genetics, growth and flowering phases, harvest, drying, processing, packaging, transportation, and distribution. This provides a comprehensive overview of the life cycle of cannabis plants and flowers, facilitating seamless and comprehensive accountability to legislative control authorities.
DECT-S2S can be implemented either on-premises, i.e., on local servers, or hosted and used in the cloud. On-premises implementations allow direct control over infrastructure, ensuring high data security. Cloud usage, on the other hand, offers flexibility, scalability, and facilitates collaboration between involved parties. Both deployment models are available to Cannabis Social Clubs and companies at no extra cost. Another benefit of our solution is its compatibility with mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, enabling users to capture information on-site and access the platform. DECT-S2S also supports the integrated capture of sensor data, allowing sensor data from various sources such as plant sensors, IoT devices, and RFID tags to be automatically captured and entered into the blockchain in real-time, enabling comprehensive monitoring and traceability.
To ensure the confidentiality and security of sensitive information, DECT-S2S provides a mechanism for data encryption and access control. Only authorized users have access to the data, and changes are logged and traceable. External accesses for legislators, downstream market players, or control authorities are integrated into the system with special permissions. The DECT-S2S system can also offer interfaces and integrations with other systems, such as ERP systems, CRM systems, or financial solutions. This allows seamless data exchange and integration with existing enterprise applications. In particular, the linkage with our AI-based cultivation management solution “DECT Grow” is well-suited for this purpose.
