The system integrates a Progressive Web Application with blockchain-based immutable record storage to capture, manage, and verify data generated by farmers, processing units, laboratory units, and manufacturing units. Herbal product data, including geo-tagged images, quantities, timestamps, and batch identifiers, are securely recorded, with support for offline data capture and automatic synchronization upon restoration of network connectivity. Each stage of the supply chain is immutably recorded on a distributed ledger using cryptographic hashing to prevent data tampering and enable auditability. The system further incorporates role-based access control and a QR-code-based verification mechanism that provides secure, read-only access to the complete product lifecycle, including origin details, processing history, and laboratory validation records, thereby enhancing trust and accountability in herbal supply chain management."
