What it is

WHIMO captures and shares supply-chain transaction and geolocation data from origin to destination. It is designed for cooperatives, local aggregators, transporters, processors, and exporters, including people working in low-infrastructure contexts. Users can record buying, collecting, selling, and delivery transactions, track traded volumes, document raw materials becoming processed products, and review transaction history. Farm locations can be added by scanning QR codes, recording GPS locations, dropping map pins, or entering geolocation later. WHIMO can display supply chains across direct and indirect suppliers, measure geodata coverage for transactions, and help users request missing location data. Participants can collect traceability information from suppliers, transfer it to customers, view supply-chain diagnostics, and download data for due diligence. The service is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with an option to self-host. The European Forest Institute hosts a ready-to-use version and manages its data under its data policy; companies and institutions can also replicate and adapt the open-access source code for their own system. WHIMO is free and based in Joensuu, Finland.
