OpenSC offers a supply chain traceability and transparency technology that unlocks strategic, top-line and bottom-line benefits for businesses committed to sustainable and ethical approaches. By doing so, consumers can access information about where products come from and how they are produced to make informed purchasing decisions. A BCGDV team of 10 people turned the proof-of-concept into a scalable platform with already two large food corporations as first customers.

OpenSC helps consumers and auditors alike track the end-to-end lifecycle of products through the supply chain, verifying the organisation's eco-integrity claims.
