Why switch to Connect?

Managing trade across hundreds of threads on WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS and email is chaotic, increases compliance risk and slows your business down.

Commodity trade runs on sensitive information. Spread across chats and shared drives, it ends up copied on servers and phones you don’t control. Connect keeps every trade in one closed system.

  • Hundreds of threads across WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS and emailEvery enquiry, offer and trade in one place
  • 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
  • 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

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.

Transparent Trade
