OriginTrace
Pedigree & Digital Product Passport

Proof that travels with your shipment, not paperwork you assemble after the fact.

Give buyers evidence they don't have to take on faith. OriginTrace builds a pedigree — a verified record of exactly where your product came from and everything that happened to it on the way to export — anchored to real farm data, not a form filled in afterward. Scan the QR code and the full record opens, no login required.

Verified at the source, not self-declared

How It Works

From source to payment — every step connected

Step 01

Farm Origin

Every farm or mine that feeds into the batch is mapped by GPS and identity-checked before a single collection happens. The record starts in the field, not in a warehouse ledger.

Step 02

Batch Collection

Every batch gets tied back to the exact farms it came from. Weight, variety, GPS location, and the farmer’s identity are logged at the moment of collection, not reconstructed afterward.

Step 03

Processing & Aggregation

Every step the product goes through — sorting, drying, hulling, grading — is logged against its source record, and the volume in is checked against the volume out at each stage (what auditors call a mass balance). Nothing gets lost or swapped along the way.

Pedigree QR Generation

OriginTrace generates a QR code locked to the verified record underneath it — tamper-evident, meaning any attempt to alter the data after the fact breaks the link or gets flagged. Scan it anywhere in the chain and the full origin and compliance evidence comes up.

Digital Product Passport

One record your buyers and regulators can check for themselves.

A Digital Product Passport (DPP) — the EU's push toward a structured record that travels with a product so anyone downstream can verify its origin without calling you — is generated automatically from your verified data. OriginTrace outputs it as JSON-LD, a standard machine-readable format buyer systems can read directly, containing GPS coordinates, farmer identities, collection dates, processing steps, compliance scores, and certification status. It's accessible via QR to anyone who needs it, and built to align with the EU's emerging DPP requirements as they take effect.

Verification

Check it yourself — no account, no waiting on the exporter.

Scan the QR

Any smartphone camera works — no app to download. The code opens the live pedigree record, hosted and kept current by OriginTrace.

Access the Passport

Farm names, GPS coordinates, collection dates, processing steps, compliance scores, and certification status — all in one view.

Confirm Compliance

The passport shows exactly which import rules the shipment has been checked against and how it scored on each one — so buyers and auditors can confirm it themselves instead of taking your word for it.

Why It Matters

Who gets value from a verified pedigree record.

For Buyers

You need to clear the shipment at port, satisfy your own due diligence requirements, and give your downstream buyers the sourcing evidence they need. The OriginTrace pedigree hands you origin data you didn’t have to take on faith — someone else can check it too.

See OriginTrace for importers

For Auditors

The pedigree record is structured, timestamped, GPS-anchored, and open to anyone with the link. It’s built to hold up under an audit, not to stand in for one.

For Customs & Regulators

Scan the QR and you’re looking at the underlying record directly — no waiting on the exporter to assemble a documentation pack first.

For Cooperatives & Farmers

This record is what opens the door to premium buyers and compliance-sensitive markets — and it’s generated automatically from the same data your field agents already capture, no extra paperwork on your end.
