Uncover your first mile.

TRACE is powered by the world's most comprehensive first-mile facility database and its connections to global supply chains. Name the supplier you know, and TRACE will link them to the origin of the supply chain.

Trade data helps resolve the first part of your supply chain.
TRACE uncovers the rest.

Customs records, bills of lading, and shipping declarations only give you the first few links in your supply chain.

Deeper in the chain, suppliers stop replying to surveys, and paperwork thins out.

TRACE is a proprietary database mapping first-mile facilities around the globe to the suppliers they support. TRACE identifies where your commodity originates, filling the legs your trade data never captured right up to the point where those records stopped being useful.

TRACE enhances the trade-data traceability you already establish and carries that chain the rest of the way, down to the first mile of production.

The two places where trade records go dark.

Inside the country of origin
No customs disclosures, shipping data, or trade records exist for the farms that produced the commodity or how it moved before it was exported.
Countries that keep trade data private
In the EU single market, India, China, and other jurisdictions, import and export records are non-public or illegal to disclose, so trade tools go dark.
TRACE resolves these issues. Every first-mile location it returns is corroborated against certification datasets, company ownership records, supplier disclosures, public records, court filings, and investor disclosures.

One supplier name in,
screened first-mile locations out.

1

Start with a supplier name.

Give TRACE the name of any supplier or company already in your chain. You do not need coordinates, polygons, or any production-location data to begin.

2

Get the first-mile locations behind it.

TRACE returns the production locations tied to that supplier: the farms, estates, and facilities where the commodity originates, each with either a cited linkage (a company disclosure, ownership record, and the like) or an inferred linkage backed by a stated rationale.

3

Move each location into screening.

Every location comes back with a high-level compliance and environmental-risk screen, so that you can focus deeper diligence where it matters most.

The world's leading procurement, compliance, and risk teams need to know the origins of their supply chains.

A single TRACE can address multiple compliance requirements and environmental risk assessments.

Regulations and disclosure frameworks

EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation)
Deforestation-free and legality evidence, geolocated to each production plot.
CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive)
Origin-level land-use, water, and biodiversity inputs for ESRS disclosure.
CSDDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive)
Environmental and human-rights risk pinned to the production source.
Global forced-labour regulations (UFLPA, EU FLR, and more)
Production-origin evidence to rebut import presumptions and meet forced-labour due diligence.

Risk assessments

Environmental Risk
Deforestation, water stress, biodiversity, and land-use-change emissions at each production location.
Natural Hazard Vulnerability
Exposure to flood, drought, wildfire, and extreme heat at each origin.
Infrastructure Risks
Access to roads, power, water, and processing capacity around each site.
Logistics Risks
Transport routes, port dependence, and chokepoints between origin and export.

TRACE enables end-to-end supply chain visibility and compliance.

TRACE finds your production locations and scores each one with its evidence, flagging what it cannot verify and why. From there you screen and assess environmental and compliance risk, then produce the file the applicable framework needs. For EUDR that means a due diligence statement drafted from the confirmed plots for you to verify and submit; for the others, the origin evidence behind your disclosure or diligence record. The evidence and confidence score travel with every location, so the result holds up when a client, auditor, or regulator asks how you know.

Use TRACE for EUDR

1TRACE

Resolve a supplier or company name to its first-mile production locations, each confidence-scored with the evidence behind it.

You are here
2Screen

Check each confirmed location for deforestation, land use, water, biodiversity, carbon, and legality.

3Assess

TRACE assesses legality, country risk, and natural hazard at each location, and runs a forced-labour screen that ties the production geography to origin-country forced-labour risk and listed-entity linkage.

4Resolve

Submit due diligence statements and streamline resolution for every high-risk plot.
