OriginTrace
For Importers & Buyers

Verify at origin. Buy with evidence.

You carry the compliance liability and the payment risk — your supplier carries the data. OriginTrace closes that gap: your exporters document farms, lab tests, certificates, and shipments at origin, and you verify all of it from one buyer workspace before your money is on the water.

How It Works

From source to payment — every step connected

Step 01

Onboard Your Suppliers

Invite your exporters onto OriginTrace and make on-platform documentation part of the order. They maintain the record at origin; you see it from your buyer workspace — no more chasing PDFs before every contract.

Step 02

See the Origin

Farm polygons, GPS points, farmer registries, and collection batches — captured in the field as your supplier operates, not assembled after you ask. Cross-checked against satellite deforestation data.

Step 03

Check the Evidence

Lab results, phytosanitary and origin certificates, compliance scores per target market, and DDS-ready data for EUDR commodities. Every claim traces back to a source record you can open.

Track and Pay on Proof

Follow the shipment through a structured 9-stage pipeline. Hold funds in escrow and release milestones against verified shipping events — with the final tranche always under your confirmation.

The Buyer's Problem

Every supplier says they're compliant. You're the one who pays if they aren't.

Rejected consignments bill the importer of record. Regulators fine the first operator placing goods on the market — not the exporter. And a forged certificate looks exactly like a real one in a PDF. The only durable answer is standing visibility into your supply chain at origin: records that accumulate as your supplier operates, instead of a data pack assembled the week you asked for it.

Built For Your Market

One supplier record. Every regime you answer to.

EU Importers

EUDR due diligence lands on you, not your supplier — from 30 December 2026, with fines up to 4% of turnover. OriginTrace gives you plot-level geolocation, deforestation cross-checks, and a DDS-ready data pack per consignment, plus the food-safety paper trail that gets sesame and spices through border controls.

UK Importers

The UK Environment Act 2021 prohibits larger businesses from using forest-risk commodities unless due diligence proves legal harvest — a due diligence system you must establish and report on annually. OriginTrace gives you the farm-level evidence trail: legal land status, verified identity, and a source-to-shipment record your supplier maintains as they operate.

UK due diligence

US Importers

The Lacey Act prohibits trading commodities harvested in violation of the country of origin's laws, and requires a customs declaration stating species, quantity, and harvest origin — false declarations are a federal offence. USDA NOP adds documented chain-of-custody on top. OriginTrace captures the GPS coordinates, verified identity, and legal land status your declaration and organic certification both need.

Buyers Sourcing for China

GACC enforcement is live: unregistered facilities are refused at Chinese ports. Verify that your supplier's facility registration, traceability records, and documentation hold up before the contract is signed.

UAE Importers & Re-Exporters

Clear Dubai Municipality inspection with a complete, consistent data pack — and keep the EU channel open on re-export. Origin follows the goods: the same supplier record that clears FIRS in Dubai satisfies due diligence in Rotterdam.

Escrow Payments

Pay on proof, not promises.

Funds held, not wired

Money sits in escrow against agreed milestones instead of leaving your account on an invoice and a promise. Both sides see the same ledger.

Released on verified events

Milestones release against carrier-confirmed shipping events — loaded on board, vessel departed, discharged at destination — not against a supplier's say-so. Estimated events never move money.

You confirm the final tranche

Delivery is never automated. The last payment releases only when both sides confirm — and any dispute freezes everything until it's resolved.

It makes you the buyer suppliers prioritize

Your best suppliers already deal with buyers who ask for 90-day letter-of-credit terms and the paperwork that comes with them. A buyer whose money releases at verified milestones, not months later, is the contract they take first.
