Features
A sourcing data ecosystem
TraceMark provides a flexible commodity data model that addresses a wide variety of materials including Palm, Coffee, Cocoa, Soy, Cotton and Paper. TraceMark provides a data ecosystem built on Google Analytics hub, that will enable data to be controlled and shared between suppliers and customers. Analytics Hub provides the capability to securely exchange data assets internally and across organisations, without data movement and enhance analysis with commercial, public, and Google datasets
The data exchange capability of TraceMark not only provides an ecosystem for sharing sourcing data, but it also provides the opportunity to deliver common datasets and methods to both suppliers and customers, to facilitate two way collaboration based on common definitions and understanding
From certification to verification
The proposed introduction of Deforestation Free Product Legislation in Europe will not only ban the importing of raw materials that have been linked to deforestation, but the burden of proof will shift to companies to actually verify that the raw materials they source from suppliers are in fact deforestation free and not just from certified sources. TraceMark is enabling progressive companies to get ahead of the legislative curve by providing global first mile verification of deforestation through automated alerts and high resolution inspection capabilities.
Enterprise sustainable sourcing
This combination of SaaS deployed for each client, provides protection and security over data assets as well as enabling NGIS to provide extensive customization opportunities to tailor TraceMark to the specific sustainability commitments and requirements of organisations. TraceMark also provides integration patterns with enterprise business systems such as SAP to surface sustainability metrics within corporate purchasing systems and volume information.
How we can help monitor and report your company data
TraceMark uses data from Google Earth Engine and BigQuery analytics to help organisations visualise, watch,and measure the impact of suppliers’ practices. First, Earth Engine aggregates and harmonises planetary data into location images, then it adds specific boundary maps and uses climate data science and machine learning to see where and how suppliers are affecting production sites. This data is then displayed in customised dashboards that can track sustainability goals.
These efforts support the responsible sourcing of raw materials by making supply chains more agile, transparent and traceable.
With TraceMark, your business can obtain insights from the environment to local communities, suppliers, and everything in-between. These insights give you the right data to make informed decisions and action plans
