We Bring Transparency to Supply Chains.
People have the right to know the facts about products they buy, consume and use. Rapid and trusted access to these facts is called Supply Chain Transparency – and it’s hard to do.
The Provenance Chain Network is a SaaS company providing verifiable credentials for products, places, and people.
When you need to be certain, you need to verify.
PCN created the Commercial Trust™ Protocol to organize facts and processes to gather the information about an entire supply chain – N-tiers deep. This allows each transaction – involving people, places and things – to be verified. This level of transparency helps identify vulnerabilities that need further investigation. Now you are proactive in managing your risk, not reactive.
Supply Chain Digitization
PCN developed the Commercial Trust™ Protocol (CTP) to organize simple facts and processes to gather the information about an entire supply chain to the nth tier. This allows you to verify each transaction, involving people, places and things. This level of transparency helps you identify weak spots that need further investigation. Now you are proactive in managing your risk, not reactive.
