Trace

Enabling companies to trace their products up to the farmer and share a transparent origin story with consumers.

“The time for ‘we didn’t know’ is over”, member of European Parliament Lara Wolters aptly said in an interview with Fairfood. She was referring to upcoming EU legislation that will require more traceability in supply chains, so companies can actually take accountability for any negative impact they have on people or planet. 

Our blockchain-enabled platform Trace not only allows for this traceability, but helps companies to properly prove the sustainability promises they (want to) make, plus share a transparent product provenance story with the end-consumer.

Interoperable

Trace was designed so that it can be easily integrated with systems your company already has in place; different software systems, ERPs and other blockchain solutions.

Supply chain mapping

We enable product traceability from verified smallholder farmers, so businesses can support sustainability claims with robust data.

Verification of brand promises

We together define your sustainability claims, and collect data and evidence from the field to support those.

Branded storytelling interface

Consumers use Trace’s storytelling interface, fully deemed in your companies house style, to learn about your product, its origin, and the proof for your sustainability claims.
