Through Transparent Trade, Sourcery Partners—especially Producers, Manufacturers, and Traders—can easily capture all commercial transaction data and documents in real time, as they trade.

Most assurance and traceability systems today are burdened by overly complex infrastructure, duplicative audits, fragmented data collection, and excessive post-transaction paperwork. These inefficiencies drain resources and erode confidence in the claims they aim to verify.

When we first built Connect as a trade marketplace, we realized that meaningful traceability requires a fundamental shift: capturing chain-of-custody data as the transaction happens, not after the fact. This real-time approach relieves our Partners of costly post-transaction administrative burdens—allowing them to focus on the next transaction.

What makes this system transformative is what happens downstream. Instead of requiring end-users—such as brands, retailers, or regulators—to painstakingly “trace” fast-moving, complex supply chains, we issue Bluechips: portable, digital credentials that contain all relevant origin, chain-of-custody, and compliance data in a standardized, shareable format available for sale under license through the Bluechip Exchange data marketplace.

Crucially, Bluechips remain under the control and ownership of the trading parties themselves. Partners own their data and choose how it is shared, licensed, or monetized. By licensing access to Bluechips, producers and supply chain actors are incentivized to share verified data, creating a positive feedback loop where more data drives more value.

The result is traceability that is not just more meaningful, measurable, accurate, and secure, but also scalable—turning reporting from a burdensome compliance task into a built-in, value-generating part of everyday trade.
