Verified Data and Documents.

Each Transaction Verification BlueBox holds the verified data, documents and images behind a trade: contracts, invoices, transport documents and proof of payment, in one verifiable record.

Contracts & Invoices

Every trade starts with a Transparent Trade Agreement (TTA), Connect's own digital contract, capturing quantities, qualities, pricing, payment terms and more.

Traceability

Real-Time Traceability.

Every Partner simply trades with the next. Connect links each trade to the one before it, so the chain builds itself in real time, from fibre to finished goods.

Visibility to the Invisible.

Most of a brand's supply chain trades out of sight. Four steps make it visible, without changing how anyone trades.

  1. 1Everyone trades as usual

    Each Partner deals only with their own buyers and suppliers, just as they do today.

  2. 2Records link intelligently

    Every trade creates a serialised record, and Connect's matching engine links it to the trades upstream.

  3. 3Checked in real time

    Every link is checked against serialised batches, geocoordinates, volume reconciliation, transaction data and trade timing.

  4. 4The brand sees the whole chain

    Origin and every tier, verified back to fibre. Prices and commercial terms stay private to each trade.
