This article aimed to design and implement a digital traceability system prototype for the RD43 rice porridge product and to evaluate the system’s performance and user satisfaction. The implementation used Quick Response Code technology, the Google Sheets Script Application Programming Interface, and Google Firebase Hosting. A research and development approach was employed, encompassing requirements analysis, system design, development, and evaluation. The system is designed to support end-to-end traceability throughout the agri-food supply chain through a centralized and secure digital database accessible via a unique Quick Response Code. System quality was evaluated by technology experts and rated at a very high level, while users, including farmers, processors, and consumers, reported high satisfaction, particularly with system usability and information availability. The findings demonstrate that a Quick Response Code based digital traceability architecture can enhance data transparency, data integrity, and consumer trust, and show potential for practical application in community based Agri-food products.
