Commitments
Nominate specific raw materials and producers by origin, specification, volume, quality, and price, with full physical traceability from producer to consumer.
Commitments are smart OTC forward contracts that enable partners to jointly lock in future supply on agreed terms—improving supply security, reducing risk, and ensuring reliable execution with embedded compliance and impact reporting.
-
A Vertical Commitment is a multi-tier OTC smart forward contract linking brands or Tier 1/2 manufacturers with upstream producers and trade partners. It enables preferred supplier nomination, physical traceability, and aligned commercial and ESG terms—digitally automating transparency, fulfillment, and impact data to reduce risk and build long-term, trusted supply chain relationships.
-
A Horizontal Commitment is a single-tier OTC forward contract between two or more Tier 2 or Tier 3 manufacturers or trade partners who jointly procure commodities to manage risk, ensure physical traceability, and deliver shared impact. Digitally automated, it aligns commercial terms, quality, chain-of-custody, and ESG goals, and can operate independently or within a broader Vertical Commitment.
How Commitments Work
Initiated by Brand or Manufacturer Partners, as Nominating Partner(s), Commitments align upstream supply with downstream demand —creating reliable and resilient supply chains built on transparency and trust from producer to consumer.
Step 1: Planning – Set goals, identify needs, define product specifications, pricing, volumes and replenishment cycles and impact requirements.
Step 2: Engagement – Using Connect, engage producers and upstream manufacturers aligned with those goals.
Step 3: Commitment – Finalise Commitment Agreements via Connect to contract quantity, quality, price, financing, logistics, transparency and impact outcomes.
Step 4: Production (see below) - Throughout the process, Sourcery Engagement Professionals provide hands-on guidance and support for each Partner — ensuring clear communication, seamless sourcing coordination, and effective transaction and risk management — to drive positive outcomes across the entire value chain, from producer to consumer.
Commitments require Plus or Pro membership in Sourcery. Let us know and we can show you how to transform the future of trade for good. Learn more.

Transparent and Equitable Trade.
Transparent Trade Bluechip digital data asset with Connect Trade feature.
Capture all transaction data and documentation in real time as you trade. Most chain-of-custody and traceability systems today rely on outdated software, heavy paperwork management and duplicative data entry and admin that drain resources and undermine data quality.
Connect fixes that by capturing chain-of-custody data during the transaction—not after—it eliminates post-transaction admin altogether.
The result: better data, lower overhead, and more time to focus on growing your business.
What is a Bluechip?
Bluechips are the shipping containers of the data economy—secure, standardized, and built to move verified information across systems, partners, and platforms. Each Bluechip represents a unique, traceable, and transferable digital asset that captures commercial, environmental, and social performance tied to a real-world transaction via Connect.
Primary Data: Each Bluechip is built from first-party evidence: survey data, documents, images, sensor feeds and other records captured directly from producers and supply chain actors.
Intelligent Verification: Sourcery’s digital triangulation engine continuously cross-checks user identification, geolocation, data, document and image metadata in real time ensuring that data is accurate and verified.
Powered by NFTs: Once data is verified, a Bluechip data asset can minted as a non-fungible token and immutably anchored to blockchain — making it tamper-proof, uniquely identifiable and instantly interoperable across digital systems.
Transferable + Tradable: Bluechips assets can be bought, sold, transferred or held via the Bluechip Exchange (BCX) — unlocking new commercial value and profitability for data originators and owners.
Real-Time Traceability
Focus on trading, not compliance. Sourcery Connect is the only platform that delivers real-time, real-world traceability as you transact—eliminating post-transaction admin, paperwork, data entry and delays.
