Extremadura publishes agribusiness supply chain tool as open source
The Extremadura government has published as open source JEXTraza, a supply chain tool meant to help agribusinesses verify and manage product information from source to destination. The tool is meant to be used in combination with OpenBravo, an open source enterprise resource system.
The JEXTraza project was introduced on Forja Linex, the Extremadura government' site for the development of open source software, early last February. That coincidentally made it the two thousandth project at OSOR.eu, which federates the software development projects of eleven forges.
One of the public administrators involved with the development of JEXTraza, Menci Nogales Galán, explains why the project site is still empty. "It is in the final stages of development, and the developers are doing some final tests. Once those are concluded successfully, we will publish the source and its documentation on the forge."
According to Nogales Galán the tool will manage all kinds of information associated with products, such as manufacturer, suppliers and expiry dates. Users can view such information in different ways, for example in the form of a product tree that shows how several products are combined. "Using barcodes or its wireless version, RFID tags, you can even manage trace requests across several companies."
JEXTraza is published using the GNU General Public Licence (GPL).
It is part of Jexpyme, an open source e-invoice system also developed for the Extremadura government.
