KaruCanne: building a custom business platform in Guadeloupe

Laurent Vergerolle — 2026-06-23T21:55:48Z

Giving every grower simple, reliable access to their campaign data: that was the challenge the IguaCanne interprofession entrusted to IPEOS. A look back at the development of a custom business application in Guadeloupe, combining APIs, data valorisation and user support.

The context: a sector to structure around data

Sugarcane is Guadeloupe's leading agricultural sector. To secure its future, the IguaCanne interprofession wanted to strengthen transparency and trust between growers, millers and SICAs. As part of a tender issued by the DEETS Guadeloupe, IPEOS was selected to design a reference digital portal: KaruCanne.

The technical challenge

Three constraints shaped the project:

Scattered data across several stakeholders (millers, SICAs, interprofession), in heterogeneous formats.
Real-time delivery of reliable indicators: tonnages, sucrose richness, subsidies, with ten campaigns of history.
An accessible interface for users with little digital familiarity, usable from the field.

The solution: an API-driven business platform

IPEOS

IPEOS developed KaruCanne, a custom business application. The architecture rests on three principles:

Automated API ingestion — programmable interfaces dialogue with the systems of the millers and the sector's stakeholders to collect delivery data without re-keying, and guarantee its freshness.
IPEOS I-Administration application core — the platform is built on the IPEOS I-Administration framework, ensuring code control, security and long-term maintainability.
Restitution and export — a web dashboard consolidates the current campaign and the ten-year trend; the data is exportable for the sector's steering needs.

This choice of an open architecture, centred on interoperability, is what distinguishes a business platform from a static tool: it can evolve, interconnect and absorb new flows campaign after campaign.

« [...] on travaille avec des outils très innovants, avec ce qu'on appelle des API [...] » [We work with highly innovative tools, with what are called APIs.]

IPEOS, Accessiweb evaluation expert

2025-02-27T11:43:01Z

The French law n°2005-102 article 472 provides for the accessibility of online public communication services to disabled people. The accessibility of a website not only improves access for the disabled and senior citizens, but also for all users, by improving the visibility of the site and the ergonomic layout of the information. Public decision-makers now take this regulation into account when drawing up their invitations to tender for the design or redesign of their websites.

IPEOS takes accessibility issues into account from the earliest stages of the web projects it is entrusted with. Over and above the civic aspect of accessibility for all, reinforced by numerous legal provisions at national, European and international level, taking this criterion into account is crucial in the Caribbean zone, where available bandwidths are modest and connections mostly low-speed.

Several years ago, IPEOS embarked on a process of optimizing its development to be more respectful of the environment, with requests that consume less energy. As a result, the R&D team has reduced lines of code by 28%, accelerated the display of html pages by a factor of 4, and seen a real impact on the use of electricity and disk storage space.
