# Smart System for the Optimization of Logistics Performance of the Pruning Biomass Value Chain
## 4 Implementation and Management of the SLS
### Order Management Using the Platform  
Order management is one of important contributions of the information platform. This functionality enables online pruning biomass trading (i.e., pruning e-trade). Two types of orders are handled in this SLS: Pruning biomass order and Transport service order. **Pruning biomass order management**: in this smart system, the contact could be directly between farmers and consumers or between farmers and traders as well as between traders and consumers (see Table 5). \begin{table}

Table 3: Data type, source, destination and utilization. **Transport service order management**: traders and consumers order the transport service. Transporters are order receivers. The transporter has the right to accept or reject the service ordered by traders or consumers while the traders and consumers have the right to choose transporters from a list of transporters registered in the SLS. In both cases of order management (product and service orders), there should be a predefined contractual agreement between the concerned actors using the SLS platform. Such a contract number regarding the concerned actor can be registered (by the administrator using 'Add New User' link) within the profile of the respective user. The financial transaction between the actors will be based on this procurement agreement. There is no financial transaction to be done on this platform and no financial related data to be documented in the spreadsheet-based database.
