We deliver social and environmental impact by providing supply chain transparency that empowers brands to know influence and prove (to third parties) the sustainability of their supply chain practices.
This is achieved through the OpenSC platform which leverages AI Blockchain and Remote Sensing technologies to enable automated ingestion analysis and sharing of a supply chains data
