Coffee sampling specialists · grading · tracking
We specialize in coffee. We draw samples from lots at US warehouses and ports, grade them, deliver them to buyers, traders and their labs, and track every number. We sample cocoa too. Each bag carries one QR code, and each person who scans it sees their own numbers.
Where we fit
Raw, unroasted coffee in bags at the warehouse. This is what's bought, sold and stored, and what we sample.
We deliver the sample. Your lab roasts it lightly and evenly to judge it against the contract.
Your lab cups and scores it. Your results and our grading sit under the same master number.
The sample's path
The coffee lands at a US warehouse. We draw the sample there, and every handoff is logged against the same master number.
Who it's for
Sign in and you see your part. Hidden numbers show as locked, so everyone knows the others exist.
Scan a sample
The code holds no data, only a random ID. Our server checks who you are and shows only what you're allowed to see.
Your numbers, your system
Every sample has one CSS master number. Your PO, your contract, your lot and your invoice hang off it, so your spreadsheet matches ours without anyone retyping.
LABELPrinted on the bag: the CSS master #, the buyer's PO and the contract or purchase number.
BILLINGNever printed: releases, invoices, letters of credit, upstream refs. Billing always keeps every number.
You choose which of your numbers go on labels, releases and invoices. A buyer who scans never sees the exporter's ref. A warehouse release can drop a number that billing still keeps.
Keep your own column names and file type. Send us your sheet, or get ours in your format every day.
