KaruCanne: IPEOS digitises the sugarcane sector in Guadeloupe

An open-source business platform for the Guadeloupe sugarcane industry

The digital transformation of Guadeloupe’s sugarcane sector takes a concrete step forward. For the IguaCanne interprofession, the IPEOS teams have built KaruCanne, a business platform that aggregates the sector’s data and delivers it, in real time, to every grower.

A historic sector moves to a business platform

Officially unveiled on 29 May 2026, KaruCanne is the digital portal of Guadeloupe’s sugarcane industry. Born from a tender issued by the DEETS Guadeloupe and led by the IguaCanne interprofession, the project has a clear goal: make the sector more transparent and give every grower direct, real-time access to the data that concerns them.

Behind the tool lie several months of engineering led by the IPEOS I-Solutions teams, working closely with the millers, the SICAs and all the sector’s stakeholders.

Consolidated, historised campaign data

KaruCanne centralises the information growers need: sector news, subsidies, delivery data, sucrose richness, tonnages and campaign history. For the 2026 campaign alone, the platform already tracks 991 active growers and more than 261,000 tonnes of cane delivered to the sugar mills, with ten campaigns of historical depth.

The challenge is not only technical, it is also human: in a sector where the average grower’s age is close to fifty, the dashboard was designed to remain simple, legible and usable in the field.

An API-centric architecture

KaruCanne’s reliability rests on its architecture. The platform relies on APIs that automate data exchanges with the systems of the sector’s various stakeholders. It is built on the IPEOS I-Administration application core, with a PostgreSQL database and development in Python via the Django REST framework. The result: data updated automatically, traceable and exportable, rather than files re-keyed by hand.

This is precisely IPEOS’s core business: turning a complex business challenge into a robust, automated and durable digital platform.

IPEOS’s expertise in business platforms

KaruCanne illustrates IPEOS’s ability to design custom business applications and platforms, from needs analysis to production: data valorisation and automation, API interoperability, accessible interfaces and user support.
