Your Data. Your Business.
Your trade data stays yours: held in secure storage and shared only on your terms.
A Platform You Can Trust.
Fully Secure. Always Protected.
At Sourcery, we know your relationships, market knowledge and hard-earned trust are the backbone of your business.
That’s why we built your own vault into the Sourcery Exchange: secure storage with strict access controls and sharing rules that you set.
See where your vault is stored, choose where it lives, and follow every licence you grant, from producer to brand.
- Secure, access-controlled storage
- Choose where your data is stored
- A log of every licence you grant

Own the Rails.
Commodity trade runs on sensitive information. Sent through email, messaging apps and shared drives, it ends up copied on servers and phones you don’t control. Connect keeps every trade in one closed system.
- A copy on every phone it is forwarded toOne secure record, shared by permission
- Terms set by platforms you don’t ownRules set by the members who own Sourcery
- Your data creates value for someone elsePartners can earn from their data Connect 2.0
- Hundreds of threads across WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS and emailOne closed system for every trade
- Prices, specs and documents buried in chat historyEvery trade detail on one shared record
- No clear record when compliance asks what happenedA tamper-evident record of every trade
Owning the rails means owning the rules. Sourcery is owned by its members, so decisions about your data are made by Partners, not by a platform that profits from it.
Your Data, Your Rules.
Our Data Stewardship Policy puts Partners in control of the data they create.
You own it
Everything you create on Connect remains yours: documents, photos, messages, farm and impact data.
Stored securely
Your trade data is kept in secure, access-controlled storage, not scattered across inboxes and drives.
You decide who sees it
You set the sharing rules. Nothing leaves the Connect ecosystem without your written consent.
Access is temporary
Impact Partners verify only what you approve, then their access ends. Trust Line reviews are view-only and close when the case is resolved.
Place Protection
Limit administrative access to your account to the places you approve.
Connect 2.0Leave on your terms
Delete your account at any time. Ledger records are then de-linked from your identity.
One ID for Every Trade.
Every Partner, Company, Place, Person and Transaction on Connect carries its own Sourcery ID, so you always know who and what you are dealing with.
Sourcery ID
- PartnersEvery user has a personal ID, linked to their verified identity.
- CompaniesEvery business on Connect, with its own profile and ID.
- PlacesFarms, mills and warehouses, each pinned to one ID.
- PeopleThe people behind each trade, linked to their companies and places.
- TransactionsEvery enquiry, offer and trade gets its own reference.
- Tamper-evident recordTransactions are hashed to a distributed ledger, so the record of who traded what, and when, can’t be quietly changed.
