Dashboards and reports
How a company sees the numbers behind its records, and how it produces signed documents that a buyer, an auditor or an authority can check without trusting A-REX.
Dashboards
Every number on a dashboard is taken from the company's records, and every number opens the records behind it. Explain this number says what it counts and shows its top records.
Ready-made lenses cover the usual questions:
| Lens | What it shows |
|---|---|
| EUDR exposure | lots of products that fall under EUDR, and how much of their due diligence evidence is recorded |
| Suppliers | who delivers what, how much, and with what evidence |
| Traceability | lineage, recalls and lots received |
| Harvest and processing | volumes by season, processing output against input |
| Data quality | records with missing or inconsistent information |
| Certificates and footprints | certificates by state and evidence level, expiring ones, declared footprints |
| Across your group | the same views for every company of an organization |
People choose the period, a comparison and filters, and build their own dashboards, for themselves or for the whole company. A widget can be downloaded as CSV, a dashboard turned into a signed PDF report, and a weekly snapshot sent by an automation.
Reports
Reports turn records into documents for a purpose. The company catalog includes, among others:
| Purpose | Reports |
|---|---|
| EUDR | due diligence statement evidence, shipment pack, origins and plots register |
| FSMA 204 | traceability records |
| Traceability | chain of custody, recall scope, EPCIS events of lots, UNTP product passport of a lot |
| Inventory | inventory, mass balance, harvest and production by season, processing output against input |
| Certificates | certificate validity, certified volume reconciliation, certification audit pack |
| Sustainability | carbon and sustainability attestations, declared footprint register |
| Suppliers and quality | supplier evidence, data quality, exports by commodity code and destination |
| Audit | audit trail, support requests |
An organization can also run a consolidated report across its companies. Reports can be scheduled, and an agent can run them for a person.
Formats
Depending on the report: PDF, Excel (XLSX), CSV, JSON, GeoJSON for plots, EPCIS 2.0 (JSON-LD and XML) for traceability events, and the UN Transparency Protocol (UNTP) product passport and traceability events for a lot.
Signed documents
Every report is signed. A PDF carries its signature inside the file (PAdES); other formats come with a signed manifest that lists the document's fingerprint. A trusted time-stamp dates the signature where one is configured.
A company can also record a report's fingerprint on the ledger of the lot it is about. An approver confirms it, and anyone can then confirm later that the document existed unchanged on that date.
Anyone can verify a copy
The verification page of the platform checks a copy of a report, with no account: whether it is unaltered and who signed it. Files are kept until a date the company sees, or until it deletes them; their fingerprints stay, so copies already shared can still be checked.
What a report is not
A report gathers evidence from the records. It is not a declaration to an authority and not a statement that goods comply; the company files its own declarations.
