The registry is the foundation
Farmer registries with unique farmer IDs deduplicate participants across suppliers, initiatives, and seasons, so a farmer trained under one program and paid a premium under another appears once, with a complete history. Registries anchor everything downstream: polygon collection for deforestation filings, training records, child-labor monitoring, and payment verification all attach to the same identities.

Data from the field, on field terms
Field teams collect training, income, monitoring, and agronomic data on mobile, offline-capable tools built for places where connectivity is a rumor. Payment transparency modules verify that premiums reach farmers, with the records to show a buyer, a certifier, or a journalist.

Monitoring, evaluation and learning
Brands are consolidating years of scattered program data into MEL platforms that answer the only question that matters: is the program working? Sourcemap's MEL capability, developed with major confectionery sustainability programs, unifies indicators across suppliers and campaigns into a single evaluation layer, so impact claims in the annual report trace to field records.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is supply chain mapping?
Supply chain mapping is the process of documenting every tier in a company's physical supply chain including all raw material extraction/production, all refining and manufacturing sites, and all logistics waypoints involved in bringing goods to market. EU and US regulations require supply chain mapping to be performed by collecting supplier-attested data and validating it using third-party data and/or assurance. Sourcemap introduced the first software for large-scale supply chain mapping based on supplier-attested data in 2011.
What is supply chain traceability?
Supply chain traceability is the process of documenting every transaction in a company's physical supply chain from raw materials to finished goods. US and Canadian authorities require supply chain traceability as part of importer guidance, and both EU and US authorities require supply chain traceability for content claims such as '100% recycled'. In order for companies to trace transactions at every tier of their supply chain they must collect evidence of transactions at every tier. Sourcemap introduced the first software for large-scale raw material-to-finished goods traceability to comply with US forced labor regulation in 2021.
What is supply chain transparency?
Supply chain transparency is the process of disclosing the physical flow of goods behind products in a way that can be readily understood by customers, consumers and/or regulators. Supply chain transparency is becoming commonplace in industries including apparel and food, and may be required by forthcoming regulations in North America and Europe. Supply chain transparency can only be achieved based on validated supplier-attested data since it necessitates the consent of all upstream suppliers. Sourcemap introduced the first platform for supply chain transparency on a global scale in 2008.
How are customs compliance and supply chain transparency related?
The US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the EU all require some degree of supply chain mapping to comply with trade regulation. The US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand all require companies to import products free of forced labor, which is based on accounting for all of the suppliers in the supply chain from raw material to import. The EU requires companies to identify upstream suppliers at high risk of social or environmental non-compliance, and to map all the way to individual farms in order to prove deforestation-free sourcing.
