OriginTrace

From your source to your buyer, with proof the whole way.

OriginTrace helps African exporters prove where their cocoa, coffee, sesame, or minerals came from, check that against what each market requires, generate the paperwork buyers ask for, and get paid — all from one system.

Traceability — from plot to payment

100%

Proof should travel with the product.

Five different regulators now decide whether your shipment gets in: the EU's EUDR (its rule requiring proof your goods aren't linked to deforestation), the US's FSMA 204 (the FDA's food traceability rule), the UK's Environment Act (its own version of the deforestation rule), China's GACC (customs' registration requirement for food exporters), and the UAE's ESMA (its product conformity authority). A signed declaration used to satisfy them. It doesn't anymore. OriginTrace replaces declarations with verified data — GPS-mapped sources, real-time collection records, and compliance evidence that travels with every shipment, from the first collection to the final payment.

Across West and East Africa, we've built a network of verified sources — every farm plot, forest concession, and extraction site GPS-mapped, with the contributor's identity verified, before a single unit leaves the source.

From offline field capture to escrow settlement, every feature closes one gap: the distance between what exporters claim and what buyers and regulators can independently verify.

Who It's For

Built for every role in the export chain

Know you'll clear customs before you book freight.
Exporter

Know you'll clear customs before you book freight.

You're sourcing cocoa, coffee, sesame, or minerals, arranging logistics, and managing buyers in more than one market. OriginTrace tells you where you stand before you load the container, hands you the paperwork the moment you ship, and settles payment once you deliver.

  • Check your shipment against 5 markets' rules before you load
  • Export documents generated in one click — no manual assembly
  • Payment held in escrow, released the moment your shipment clears
  • Pay your contributors directly from the platform

Hundreds of contributors. One verified traceability record.

You work with smallholder farmers, artisanal mining cooperatives, or community collectors spread across many sites. OriginTrace helps you register every plot or extraction site, log every collection as it happens, and pull it all into one verified batch record — even where there's no internet connection.

  • Every contributing farm plot or extraction site GPS-mapped
  • Log collections offline — they sync automatically once you're back online
  • Trace every unit from its source to your export warehouse
  • Automatic checks flag yields that don't add up, before bad data slips through

You're the one who has to make sure every shipment meets the destination market's requirements. OriginTrace checks your shipment against all five major regulatory frameworks at once and flags any gaps before you load — not after.

  • EUDR, FSMA 204, UK Environment Act, GACC, ESMA — checked together, in one pass
  • Gaps flagged automatically, with guidance on how to fix them
  • Audit-ready dossiers, generated whenever you need them
  • A document vault that tracks expiry dates and alerts you before they lapse

Every export document, pulled from one source of truth.

You handle dispatch, freight booking, and waybill paperwork. OriginTrace generates every export document from the same traceability record, so you're not re-entering the same data into five different systems.

  • Waybills, pedigree certificates, and mineralogy certificates — generated automatically
  • Track your shipment through all 9 stages, from booking to delivery
  • Containers, bonded warehouses, and port manifests, all linked to the same record
  • Shared document access for your buyers and inspectors

How It Works

From source to payment — every step connected

Step 01

Register Your Sources

GPS-map every farm plot, forest concession, or extraction site and register every contributor with verified identity. Your supply chain starts with verified origin — not declarations.

Step 02

Capture & Aggregate

Field agents log collection in real time — even without internet. Every unit is traceable to the exact source it came from. Data syncs automatically when connectivity returns.

Step 03

Check You'll Clear Customs

Score your shipment against EU, UK, US, China, and UAE import requirements at once. Know your clearance status and fix any gaps before you book freight — not at the border.

Step 04

Generate Your Documents

Produce your pedigree certificate, waybill, and full compliance pack from a single verified record. No more assembling files from multiple sources the night before loading.

Step 05Only on OriginTrace

Settle Payment

Your buyers pay into escrow. Funds release when the shipment is confirmed and compliance is verified. No chasing. No trust-based risk.

Field Operations

Built to work where the internet doesn't.

Field agents at rural collection points — whether it's a farm gate or a mineral aggregation site — can log batches, register contributors, and record GPS coordinates with no live connection at all. The data syncs automatically once connectivity comes back, so your traceability record never has a gap just because of where the source sits.
