Coffee quality, calculated.
Not estimated.
Yield factor, physical analysis and purchase price in a single flow — from the scale to the lot’s immutable record.
Without a system, quality gets lost between intake and sale
The yield factor determines how much you pay and how much you earn. Mishandling it is no minor error.
The factor is calculated with printed tables that aren’t always up to date.
A one-point error in the factor changes the price of the entire purchase, and no one catches it until settlement.
Wet and dry parchment coffee get mixed into the same record.
At settlement, the real cost by quality gets diluted because the record doesn’t distinguish what was received or in what state.
The defect analysis lives in a notebook, separate from the lot.
There’s no traceability between the recorded quality and the lot shipped out weeks later.
Every trading company has its own bands, but the software imposes a single formula.
A generic standard doesn’t understand that your “Superior” isn’t another trading company’s “Superior.”
From factor to final price, in five steps
The quality data is entered once and stays tied to the lot forever. You decide how much the system automates and where every figure comes from.
The contract sets the target factor
Each product enters with its target factor per the contract — 94.0, for example. It’s the reference the lot is evaluated against.
The yield factor is entered
The operator records the lot’s real factor. The system places it in the band your team configured — “Superior,” range 85–90 — with the name and ranges your trading company uses.
The band adjusts the price
Each band carries a configured adjustment (+5%). The system applies it over the base price, anchored to the day’s price or the contract’s — as you decide.
Physical analysis against your limits
Moisture, low-grade beans, borer damage, hulled beans and whatever defects your trading company measures. If a lot falls out of spec, you know before approving the price — not once you’ve already paid or the buyer sends it back.
Mark as evaluated
On approval, the price is recorded, the lot moves into inventory with its factor, and the supplier’s balance updates. All traced with user and time.
Traceable quality from the scale to the contract
BeanFlux records each lot’s quality attributes at the moment of intake and carries them automatically throughout the entire operation.
Your own quality bands
Define each band with the name, factor range and price adjustment your trading company uses. The system imposes no prior standard — not even what you call them.
Automatic or optional adjustment
Configure the bands so the system applies the price adjustment based on the factor, or leave it to the operator at QC time. Both approaches coexist.
Price anchored to the day or the contract
The base price can be anchored to the day’s market price or the contract’s. The operator sees where every figure comes from, and on evaluation the price is recorded.
Configurable defect limits
Moisture, low-grade beans, borer damage, hulled beans and whatever defects your trading company measures — each with its limit. The system flags when a lot exceeds one, before approval.
