Partner Data Vault

Your Data. Your Business.

Connect was built by people who trade, so we know what's sensitive and what's worth sharing.

Built for how trade works

Prices, counterparties and volumes are your competitive edge. Only the parties to each trade see them, and your network is never published or pooled.

Protected by design

Everything you capture lives in your own Partner Data Vault (PDV): encrypted, access-controlled, with identity data held apart from trade data.

Enter once. Share on your terms.

Our shared infrastructure ends duplicate data entry. Share verified data with any buyer, certifier or partner you choose, free or paid via Sourcery Exchange, and revoke access at any time.

Transform Pro members can run their own single-tenant data instance.

Verified Places

Place Protection.

A secure geo-fence around every verified site. When the Place administrator turns it on, data linked to that Place can only be captured and viewed by people standing inside its boundary.

Geo-fenced accessData is captured and viewed only inside the verified boundary, so desk audits and attribution hold up.
Proof of originTransaction and impact data provably come from the designated site.
Private mappingOur own mapping system, not Google or Apple Maps, so location data stays private.
Owner-controlledPlace administrators decide who has access and whether protection is on.

How it works

Visibility to the invisible.

Most of a brand's supply chain trades out of sight. The spinner never meets the brand, and the brand may not know which producer grew the fibre.

On Connect, every partner simply trades with the partner next to them. Each trade is captured as it happens and linked to the one before it, so the chain assembles itself, tier by tier, without anyone chasing paperwork.

1
Everyone trades as usualEach partner only deals with their own buyers and suppliers, just as they do today.

Records link intelligentlyEvery trade creates a serialised record. Connect's matching engine uses probabilistic models and AI to link it to the trades upstream, checked in real time against:Serialised batchesGeocoordinatesVolume reconciliationTransaction dataTrade timing

Your Impact Stack.
