What is SLIC?

SLIC enables Coffee Traders to create sample labels with unique QR codes containing essential sample information:

• These labels can be easily shared with customers and stakeholders, promoting clear communication and transparency in presenting your coffee products.
• Buyers can easily collect sample information in a spreadsheet or import it directly into their Cropster account by scanning the QR code with a smartphone or tablet.
