TraceX
Working buildThe contract, manufacturing, logistics, finance and administration layer — the engine beneath CrestX, built to be embedded
TraceX is the operating backbone beneath CrestX, and a product in its own right: manufacturing, logistics, finance and administration raised from one record, with contract management as its confirmed next layer. End-to-end batch traceability, multi-party portals and a money side created from the very same event as the goods side — captured once, embedded inside the software your customers already use, without ripping anything out. Recalls scope in minutes. Invoices reconcile themselves. Every trading partner sees exactly its own slice. Ship it as your own feature, on open global standards.
- Product line
- CrestX + TraceX
- Sectors
- Smart logistics & supply chain, Agritech & food, Advanced manufacturing, Finance
- Independent timestamping
- Not implemented — not claimed
- Open to check
- 4 public surfaces
What it is for
Traceability systems stop at custody and accounting systems start at the invoice, so the same shipment is keyed twice into two records that quietly drift apart. When a recall, a customer audit or a disputed invoice lands, teams spend days rebuilding from spreadsheets and emails to answer questions their systems should already answer. Capture it once, and the questions answer themselves.
- Software vendors and host applications that want to ship traceability and settlement inside their own product rather than build it
- Food, beverage and agrifood producers and brand owners carrying recall and provenance obligations
- Distributors, wholesalers and logistics operators coordinating a multi-party trading network
- Manufacturers of lot- and serial-controlled goods reconciling shipments to invoices by hand
What you get
Recall scoped in minutes, not days
Trace any lot forwards to every customer who received it and backwards to every input that went into it, then act on the affected units directly from the same screen.
Shipping and invoicing stop being two jobs
The money side is created from the same recorded event as the goods side, and anything that does not reconcile is raised as an exception for a person to resolve — so finance chases a short queue instead of rebuilding the month.
Payables never pay themselves
Matched receivables clear in one sweep, and every payable waits for a named human approval before release.
Contract management — the confirmed next layer
Supply agreements, terms and obligations held on the same record as the goods and the money they govern, so a disputed delivery is read against the contract that priced it. Confirmed direction for the line.
Every trading partner sees only its own slice
Manufacturers, distribution centres, logistics providers, wholesalers and retailers each get their own portal on the shared network, with their own transactions and nobody else’s.
Buyers and consumers check it themselves
A scan on the pack returns that unit’s recorded chain of custody and its current recall status on a public page — no login, and no phone call to your team.
What you can check for yourself
Scan or enter a unit serial on the public verification page and read its recorded chain of custody and recall status — no login.
Place the embeddable verification badge on your own page and watch it resolve against the live record.
Read a unit’s GS1 Digital Link identifier straight off the public verification page — no account, no key. The GS1 and Peppol exports are open on every plan behind a signed-in session or an API key, because they carry parties’ commercial detail.
Try the live widget previews and working embed snippets on the developer page.
TraceX keeps a tamper-evident record. Independent third-party timestamping is not implemented here, and we do not claim it.
What a demonstration shows
- Operator console — network overview, exceptions, shipments, batches, receivables, payables, activity
- Scoped trading-partner portal — each organisation’s own view of its batches, shipments and money
- Hand-off scan — one scan at despatch and one at receipt moves the acting party’s own leg of a shipment
- Public product verification page — QR or serial lookup returning provenance, authenticity, recall status
- Embeddable widgets — a verification badge, a settlement summary and a live network map
- Developer page — live widget previews with copy-and-paste embed and REST snippets
- Partner onboarding — self-registration, an approval queue, invitation links
- Connections panel — accounting connector status, API access management, open-format exports

This names what the platform is built on, not how it is built. The how is shown in a technical deep-dive, under a mutual NDA.
Where this actually is
The full product runs end to end today on a seeded demonstration dataset. Production connectors and live tenancies are next.
TraceX is a working build.
Why this travels across the two markets
Vietnamese exporters and the Australian buyers who source from them are both being asked for lot-level provenance and faster settlement on the same shipments. A delegate can take TraceX three ways: a producer pilots it on one real product line, a Vietnamese software house or logistics platform embeds it and ships traceability and settlement as its own feature, or a university or agency uses it as a working reference for cross-border provenance over open GS1 and Peppol formats.
