Solution+
Technology
Direct collaboration, transparent trade and verified impact will transform the future of trade.
Our ‘Solution + Technology’ approach combines human intuition with advanced digital intelligence —together helping our Partners accelerate the transformation of trade for good.
The Connect Platform is only available Sourcery Partners (members) and the forthcoming Connect App be downloaded from the Google Play and Apple App Store upon its public release in early Autumn 2024. The Connect (desktop) will be available in 2025.
Transparent Trade
Effortlessly send orders and remit, receive enquires, offers and settle your transaction in real-time with more transparency, efficiency and trust—anytime and anywhere.
Real-Time Traceability
The Sourcery Connect is the only system that enables real-time traceability while you trade.
All transactional and chain-of-custody information is automatically captured in one place and securely stored on the blockchain in digital assets called Bluechips (non-fungible tokens) that contain all of the verified digital and documentary proof require for full transactional traceability and compliance from grower to consumer. The data and documents are verified using advanced digital recognition learning technology*, data triangulation and transaction records and are incredibly accurate.
Connect captures and verifies every transaction, anytime and anywhere.
The Sourcery is testing various large language model (LLM) document recognition technologies that use the most advanced artificial intelligence engines to for document recognition, charactor recognition and processing to ensure privacy and security.

The planet is the

valuable resource.
Data is its most
valuable asset.
In addition to transforming trade for good through transparent, efficient and secure transactions, the Connect App gives Partners the power to collect and capture primary verified data at the farm, in facilities and across the value chain in real-time via the Impact and Assurance Solution and the Connect Platform.
Data collected is owned and controlled by the individual Connect Platform user (‘data originator”) and can be license for sale via the Bluechip Exchange data marketplace.
Sourcery Partners can be assured that their commitment to commercial, social and environmental excellence is recognised and rewarded—this is what it means to transform trade for good.
Impact at Scale
Engage, Collaborate, Capture and Verify
Connect allows you to engage, collaborate, capture and verify primary commercial, social and environmental impact data in real-time and at scale.
Connect can send impact surveys modules (via Impact and Assurance Solution) to any grower, manufacturer, trader or brand anywhere around at world.
Whether its 1,000 small holder growers in Maharashtra, India or large holder in Mato Grosso, Brazil or the survey requires a data an API data pull from a digital IoT energy meter in a manufacturing facility in Dhaka, Bangladesh—our Partners have the power capture the information they need, when they need it while ensuring the data collected is verified and equitable.
Data Sovereignty and Equity.
As the digital nexus for the Direct-to-Grower Solution, the Connect App captures all transactional and impact data in line with the Transparent Trade and Impact and Assurance Modules—the Bluechip Exchange ensures that transparency and impact bring brings more value to everyone from grower to consumer.
Once captured and verified, select data (non-commercially sensitive) data is converted into Bluechips (NFTs) that contain all the encrypted data, documents, images that were captured and verified via the Connect Platform.
The Bluechips are individually owned by the Partners who remitted the data (‘data originators’) and are stored in their own personal blockchain partition called a Personal Data Vault (PDV)—accessible and viewable to no one else accept the data owner (not even Sourcery).
The data contained in the Bluechips can only be decrypted and unlocked when transacted under license via the forthcoming Sourcery Bluechip Exchange data marketplace. This ensures that Partners in Sourcery can be recognised and financially rewarded for their commitment to commercial, social and environmental excellence in trade—this is what it means to transform trade for good.

Transforming Trade for Good, Together
Impact Partners
The data contained in each Bluechip is unprocessed (e.g. raw) verified data.
As a commercially neutral sourcing and digital trade platform, Sourcery itself does not make value judgments, analysis, scoring or generate reports of the data contained in each Bluechip.
Instead, Sourcery welcomes qualified Impact Assessors. Impact Assessors are independent professional organisations approved by Sourcery to receive, perform analysis, score and generate reports on the data outcomes using proven scientific methods. These reports are made available to Brand, Manufacturer, Grower Partners and third-parties.
Impact Partners are selected in the Bluechip Exchange platform and are required prior to completing purchase.
Sourcery also welcomes Impact Collaborators. Impact Collaborations include mult-stakeholder initiatives, standard owners, certifications and trade associations that can rely on Sourcery Partner data and Impact Assessor reports to support and inform their various measurement and evaluation frameworks for added transparency, integrity and trust.
-
Impact Assessors are pre-qualified by Sourcery to receive, perform analysis, scoring or generate reports or on the data contained in each Bluechip following a corresponding Bluechip license transaction via the Bluechip Exchange.
Brands, Manufacturer, Trade and Grower Partners and third-parties can select one or more Impact Assessor organisations prior to a license purchase of the Bluechip who can access, process and store the raw data and interpret and perform a professional and scientific assessment and analysis of the data to generate reports, such as Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), geopolitical or social risk registers and reports, greenhouse gas balance sheet, etc.

Impact Collaborators include various multi-stakeholder, standards and certification, agronomy orgnanisations such as Better Cotton, USDA, USCTP among others among others who have developed one (1) or more management and evaluation (M&E) frameworks that have BEEN adopted and by Sourcery Partners.
Using the Connect Platform and gaining access to the Bluechip data, Impact Collaborators can more confidently rely on robust empirical and scientific data collected to inform the environmental and social outcomes in their frameworks.
Impact Collaborators do not receive the raw data themselves, they too must rely on a qualified report from one (1) or more Impact Assessor organisations.

Impact Partner Bluechips and Connect App
All Impact Partners are invited to create and develop their own Impact and Assurance modules and branded Bluechips (see below) in Sourcery for sale on the Bluechip Exchange. These Bluechips include customised data collection methods, queries and verification requirements that follow the general reporting requirement and frameworks developed by Sourcery, including harmonised collection boundaries and adherence to guidelines to mitigating collection manipulation and reporting bias.
When creating their own modules and Bluechips, Impact Partners can also benefit financially from the license sale of the data alongside the manufacturers and growers who create, remit and own the data captured and contained in each Bluechip.
Impact Collaborators, specifically, can even white label (brand) their own Connect Platform solution to capture critical farm level primary verified data via Sourcery Partners and have the brand recognition that is valuable to their missions and stakeholders.
