Sourcethe south.Land itcleared.

Verified textile factories across South America. The EUDR filing, the origin proof and the freight ride with the order. Escrow holds your money until you accept the goods.

The lanes

Any lane.
Two of them ours.

Freight is booked inside the platform, with the carriers themselves, so an order can leave on whatever lane the market runs. The two drawn here are the ones we consolidate ourselves — our own containers out of Santos for Europe and out of Cartagena for the United States. An order already routed that way rides in our box.

Goods clear before they sail — not after they land.

Why now

Three rules decide whether your container moves.

None of them are coming. Two are already here, and the third has a date on it. What they have in common is that the evidence has to exist before the goods do.

EUDR

In force

European Union

A Due Diligence Statement has to be filed before regulated goods enter the EU, with geolocation for every plot the material came from. It cannot be produced after the fact.

UFLPA

Enforced by CBP

United States

US Customs works from a presumption of forced labour on exposed supply chains. Rebutting it is the importer’s job, and the evidence has to already exist when the container lands.

CSDDD

From 2027

European Union

Larger companies will have to show documented supply-chain due diligence. Firms building that evidence base from nothing are quoting six to eighteen months.

How it moves

Four moves.
One agreement.

01Source

Find the factory.

Send a catalogue or a spec. We map it to tariff lines and come back with verified factories ranked on compliance standing, minimum order and what they can actually hold to.

You get  A shortlist with a named contact at each factory

02Prove

Settle the paper.

Satellite checks against the farm plots, certificates verified with the bodies that issued them, entity screening upstream. The Due Diligence Statement is drafted and filed to TRACES NT.

You get  A filed DDS and a reference you can look up

03Ship

Move the goods.

Freight booked with the carriers from inside the order, rates quoted per shipment and locked when you accept — or consolidated into our own container where the lane already carries our volume. The order turns to shipped when the vessel actually leaves.

You get  Booked freight with a vessel and an ETA

04Settle

Hold the money.

Payment goes into escrow and stays there. The factory draws against milestones, and the balance releases only once you confirm the goods are accepted.

You get  No wire sent to a factory you have not met

The desk

This is what you sign into.

The real workspace at full resolution. Orders, documents, freight and money on one surface — sorted by what is about to go wrong.
