How it works
From procurement request to delivered cargo, in six stages.
- 01
Submit a procurement request
Specify commodity, grade, volume, delivery window, price range, and preferred origin. Requests reference international grading standards including ICO, UNECE, and Codex Alimentarius. Route to the full verified supplier base or to pre-approved sources.
- 02
Receive responses from verified suppliers
Verified suppliers respond with pricing, available capacity, and delivery commitments. Each response includes a platform-verified track record: orders fulfilled, volumes delivered, quality ratings from independent inspectors, and dispute history.
- 03
Negotiate and execute contracts
Contracts are built with commodity-specific clause templates, benchmark-referenced pricing with basis differentials, and guided Incoterms selection. Fixed or floating price structures. Every clause is versioned, every counter-proposal tracked, and digital signatures execute the agreement.
- 04
Independent inspection at every stage
Inspectors verify quality at farm level, collection point, warehouse intake, and pre-shipment. Commodity-specific digital checklists are built against grading standards. Certificates are GPS-tagged, photo-evidenced, and timestamped. They cannot be edited after issuance.
- 05
Milestone-based payment
Payment tranches are released when verified trigger events occur. Inspection passed, warehouse receipt issued, bill of lading presented. Funds move when evidence is confirmed. Letter of credit workflows are available for larger transactions.
- 06
Complete document trail
Inspection certificates, phytosanitary documents, certificates of origin, bills of lading, and customs declarations are stored in a permanent, auditable record linked to each contract. Available for compliance reviews, audits, and import documentation.
Platform capabilities
Verified supply chains, not directory listings.
The platform works directly with governments, suppliers, independent inspectors, and financial institutions to build verifiable trade infrastructure across African commodity markets.
Performance-based supplier profiles
Supplier profiles are built from verified trade data: orders fulfilled, volumes delivered, quality ratings from independent inspectors, on-time delivery rates, and dispute outcomes. Track records are earned, not self-reported.
Independent quality inspection
Inspectors are trained against international grading standards and assigned automatically at contract milestones. Every certificate is commodity-specific, digitally signed, and permanently stored.
Supply chain finance
Suppliers can apply for working capital against confirmed orders. Applications draw on verified transaction history, farmer network size, and inspection records, enabling faster credit decisions from participating financial institutions.
Mineral traceability
For mineral commodities: full chain of custody from mine site to export point. ITSCI tags, independent assay results, OECD due diligence records, and EU Conflict Minerals Regulation documentation in a single auditable trail.
Market intelligence
Seasonal production calendars, weather impact updates, regulatory changes, export restriction notices, and benchmark price movements contextualised by origin market.
Supplier directory
Verified supply across 14 African markets.
The directory is publicly searchable by commodity, country, grade, certification, and available volume. Supplier profiles show verified capacity, inspection history, and certifications.
