Bext360 provides SaaS for supply chain digitization, sustainability and capital access. We utilize blockchain, AI, and IoT to digitize the supply chains of global commodities; i.e., palm oil, coffee, cocoa, and minerals. Our technology brings efficiency and transparency to supply chains and enhances sustainable practices for Communities, People and the Planet. APIs allow wholesalers and retailers to embed the technology into their own websites, marketing, point-of-sale systems, and supply chain management tools. Proof of Sustainability Our vision is simple, you cannot begin to improve sustainability – specific to climate change or other areas such as financial inclusion – without being able to identify the origin of your specific product; i.e., cocoa, palm, coffee, recyclables. Our technology digitizes supply chains for end-to-end traceability, so customers have insight into first mile origin data through the product’s journey to retail state; i.e., from a cocoa pod to your favorite chocolate ice cream. Our software enables customers to layer in the carbon data, producer payments, measurements for Scope 3 emissions and other data at each supply change node to monitor initiatives to reduce the environmental effect and improve other sustainability measurements.
