Introducing T4T Information System, an online system to manage information from field to office
Central Java is a long way from recessionary, wintry Teesside. In the sweltering forests of the former, villagers are learning how to grow, safeguard and eventually sell valuable timber from saplings. Mango, teak and mahogany, much of it destined for dining rooms in Britain, will be sold to local manufacturers. At the end of the wood's long journey down the supply chain, the customer will be able to check the provenance of the furniture on the internet.
