Keep your supplier. Privately see your other options.
Browse a curated catalog of industrial suppliers and products across borders, then compare them privately; your current supplier never knows you looked. Then transact safely with milestone escrow, so neither side builds or pays on faith. Free to search, match, and sign.
Cross-border sourcing fails on trust, not price.
An institutional exchange for cross-border industrial procurement, worldwide. Buyers and suppliers match on verified specifications, meet in a sealed room, and settle through milestone-protected settlement with hash-chained contracts.
Industrial verticals, 163 structured spec fields, counterparty KYC checks, and bring your own AI agent over MCP. We engineer out broker margins, pay-on-faith deposits, spec drift, and the side deals that leak inside your own procurement.
Every pillar, every country, on one live map.
Each industrial pillar is a colour; nodes are the countries that make it, sized by product count; the flowing arcs link each pillar's hubs. Click a pillar in the legend to isolate its trade network.
Procurement still runs on fax, chat apps, and trust.
Cross-border industrial trade still moves through broker chat groups, photographed POs, bilingual misreadings of slash-sheet specs, and bank wires sent on faith. The friction is paid by buyers in spec drift, late shipments, counterfeit certifications, and disputes no one can practically pursue across a border.
The biggest leak is the deal you never see.
The supplier is only half the risk. The other half sits inside your own procurement function, where staff and suppliers can quietly arrange what leadership never sees.
The spec is the contract. Drift becomes mathematically detectable.
Every spec axis is verified against the spec-locked RFQ before a deal can converge, and the signature binds the contract. See the real spec sheet fill and lock, live.

For years the weakness was human. We engineer it out.
Error, fraud, corruption, blind deposits, lost-in-translation disputes — every failure mode in supplier trade, paired with the primitive that removes it.
Every party carries a portable score. Every action carries an audit trail.
A four-tier trust ladder, computed from KYC + transaction history + certifications + reviews + audits. The score is the only thing the buyer needs to look at to decide whether to fund escrow.

Thailand’s BOI Playbook: How Investment Policy Is Rewiring Where the World Sources
Behind Thailand’s record foreign investment is a deliberate policy engine, the Board of Investment, the Eastern Economic Corridor, and a targeted-industry agenda. Here is what that policy actually offers, and why a shift in incentives upstream changes where buyers can source downstream.
Eight capabilities, one auditable platform.
Each capability is independently audited and gated. They compose into a single auditable workflow so a buyer can run an RFQ → negotiate → escrow → ship → settle in one place, every action timestamped, IP-stamped, and exportable.
Five primitives that replace the broker.
Each engine removes a specific class of friction. Together they recreate trade trust without the broker, the lawyer, or the wire-and-pray, and prepare the platform for the AI-agent + enterprise era.
Specifications, not keywords.
Each vertical has its own parameter schema. PCB uses IPC-4101 slash sheets; machinery uses control system + spindle RPM + hours; battery uses cathode chemistry. Buyers search by parameter ranges, not text.
- Per-vertical JSONB spec schema · 2,115 long-tail fields catalogued across every vertical
- Canonical-parts catalog · 377 rows · match-before-extract auto-populate
- Controlled vocabulary · 104 canonical fields × 127 synonyms · units normalised (tons↔kW, mil↔mm)

AI agents can act on your behalf, within strict bounds you set.
Register an agent with a public key, grant it a scope-bounded delegation (action kinds × amount caps × time window × counterparty whitelist), and the platform records every decision in a hash-chained, immutable log with reasoning payload. EU AI Act Art. 12 + 14 + 86 compliant. PDPA-ready. Agents act fast within bounds; humans approve above threshold.

The whole deal happens in one room.
Buyer and supplier meet: quote, counter, contract, sign, escrow. Before any room can reach escrow, every contract clears the same Counsel checkpoint. See the real meeting room and the checkpoint in action.

The contract is the bond
Procurement is delegation under information asymmetry. Escrow with milestone release binds a supplier's payout to verified delivery — the textbook resolution of the agency problem.
Alhammadi et al. 2023 · Eisenhardt 1989 - 02
Strategy follows supply risk × value
We classify each spec on objective signals (network depth, geographic spread, order value) and recommend the sourcing mode, never a subjective supplier rank.
Kraljic 1983 · Chowdhury 2025 - 03
Milestone settlement, not blockchain
The procurement literature treats blockchain as a trust spec: immutable audit, conditional settlement. We deliver all of it with milestone-protected settlement and an append-only audit trail — Escrow with licensed partners is on the roadmap.
Althabatah et al. 2023 - 04
Matched on capability, not price
Service quality and delivery reliability outrank price as success factors. We match on the spec shape and seal price until the room, with a guardrail against excluding small suppliers.
Huang et al. 2024 · Andhov et al. 2025 - 05
Trust is built where humans meet
Under ambiguity, people seek social cues before committing. The meeting room converts uncertainty into trust, and the human stays visibly the principal behind every agent.
Hahn et al. 2026
