Case Study: TNPL achieves real-time plantation management and transparency with SourceTrace

Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Papers Limited (TNPL) - Customer Case Study

Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Papers Limited (TNPL), the largest paper mill in Tamil Nadu, worked with SourceTrace to address challenges in managing its plantation division across nearly 40,000 acres and more than 9,800 farmers. TNPL needed a better way to handle scattered farmer locations, cumbersome paper-based records, limited monitoring, lack of yield visibility, weak transparency in transactions, and poor communication with farmers.

By deploying SourceTrace’s remote data management solution, TNPL gained real-time statistics on plantation schemes, transparent tracking of input and seedling distribution, instant monitoring of seedling casualties, and better estimates of raw material yield. SourceTrace also enabled regular farm monitoring, improved communication with farmers, better field staff efficiency tracking, and reduced supply leakage through timely harvesting, strengthening TNPL’s overall plantation and procurement operations.
