How it works

How EBSI supports your traceability service.

AUTHORISATION

Define who can contribute.

The organisation opening the product record chooses who can add information. EBSI uses Trust Chains to check these permissions.
RECORDING

Register each step.

Authorised organisations add signed records of their activities, such as material origin. EBSI connects these steps through Track and Trace.
VERIFICATION

Make the history verifiable.

Other applications can use EBSI's public APIs to check who recorded each step and whether the recorded evidence has changed.

EBSI supports your solution by verifying contributor permissions, recording supply chain events and enabling independent verification.

Capabilities

Two capabilities for verifiable product traceability.

Combines trust chains and track and trace to record contributions from different authorised organisations. EBSI provides the record of proofs and its contributors while your solution continues to manage product data and workflows.

Trust Chain

Define accreditations
Establish trusted supply chain and manage permissions for recording information in a product's history.

Example: A product record owner authorises a textile mill to register processing events.

Attributable history of a news photo across a photo agency, publisher and fact-checker

Track & Trace

Record and verify each contribution.
‍
Register signed events from authorised organisations and connect them into a verifiable product history.

Example: A supplier records material origin, followed by a mill recording its transformation.

FAQ

It records the events associated to a product as it moves between organisations that contribute to its history. Each organisation records its own step, such as origin, transformation, certification or handover, in one shared history tied to the product.Origin & traceability helps establish as well accreditations to each contributor which allows verifiability and transparency.

Organisations accredited in the trust chain. The root organisation that creates the record decides who may write what.
