What you get

Everything a verification team needs (without the noise)

You deliver a clear “yes/no/needs review” outcome — backed by shipment history, partner strength, and anomaly notes. No fluff. Just what clients ask for.

Trade activity proof

Confirm the company actually trades internationally — with shipment history and recency.

  • First seen / last seen shipment dates
  • Imports and exports presence
  • Active vs dormant periods

Consistency signals

Show whether activity looks stable or “one-off”.

  • Cadence / frequency patterns
  • Repeat lanes and patterns
  • Concentration (few lanes / few partners)

Counterparty strength

Validate the trading network — not just the company.

  • Partner frequency + recency
  • Relationship depth (shipments between parties)
  • Partner movement / stability signals

Movement & lane changes

See what changed and when (origins/destinations).

  • New lanes appearing
  • Origin/destination shifts
  • Trend changes over time

Abnormalities & flags !

Catch patterns worth escalation — with explainable notes.

  • Spikes/drops vs baseline
  • New counterparties suddenly
  • Cadence breaks / irregular activity

Audit-friendly metadata 🧾

Keep governance clean (great for regulated teams).

  • Coverage notes
  • Match confidence (where applicable)
  • Data source metadata
Pick your workflow

Start with a “paper report”, then scale to API

Most verification teams begin with a few dashboard reports, then move to bulk API calls once volume grows.

Option A — Dashboard report (PDF)

Best for: one-off cases, investigations, escalations, client deliverables.

  • Search company → generate report
  • Visual summary + evidence sections
  • Export “paper report” (PDF)

Great when you need something you can attach to a case file today.

Option B — Pay-as-you-go API

Best for: onboarding, KYB checks, bulk verification, monitoring.

  • API call per company (or batch)
  • Signals + evidence summary returned as JSON
  • Optional PDF generation for escalations

Ideal for integrating trade activity verification into your platform.

1

Input the company

Name is enough. Add country/website if you have it (helps matching confidence).

2

Run the check

Dashboard generates a report; API returns structured signals + notes.

3

Deliver or automate

Send the PDF to clients or embed the signals in your KYB / risk workflow.

Verification signals

How your verification output becomes “confidence”

This is the part clients care about: a clear outcome, with quick reasons why. Use these signals in your reports, scores, or onboarding decisions.

“Verified based on shipment record”

We summarize the company’s shipment footprint into an easy outcome.

  • Activity present in the selected time range
  • Recency (recent shipments vs inactive)
  • Imports focus vs exports presence

“Counterparty strength”

We show partner depth so your client can trust the trading network.

  • Relationship frequency (shipments between parties)
  • Relationship timeline (first/last seen)
  • Partner stability vs one-off partners

“Movement & trends”

We surface what changed: lanes, origins/destinations, cadence.

  • Lane shifts over time
  • Growth/decline patterns
  • Concentration risks

“Abnormalities” (review flags) !

We highlight suspicious or unusual patterns with plain-English notes.

  • Sudden spikes/drops vs baseline
  • New counterparties suddenly
  • Cadence breaks / irregular activity
Sample report

What your client sees (Dashboard → PDF)

Common integration patterns

Onboarding / KYB: call the API during onboarding, store signals + audit metadata, generate PDF only for escalations.

Monitoring: re-check high-risk accounts monthly/quarterly and alert when anomalies appear.

Credit / underwriting: include shipment history signals in your credit file and committee memo.

Marketplace / supplier verification: verify suppliers before onboarding and re-check periodically.

FAQ

Quick questions buyers ask

Short answers. No jargon.

Can we start with a few companies first?

Yes. Start with dashboard reports (paper PDF). When you’re ready, switch to pay-as-you-go API calls or bulk verification.

Do you support bulk verification for KYB tools?

Yes. The bulk API is built for batch checks and integration into onboarding and monitoring workflows.

What makes the results “verification-ready”?

You get clear signals (activity, consistency, counterparty strength, anomalies) plus evidence summaries and coverage notes for audit trails.

Can we generate a PDF report for client files?

Yes. Dashboard reports export to PDF, and API workflows can optionally generate PDFs for escalations.

Is coverage the same for every country?

Coverage varies by country/route. We include coverage notes so your team can document limitations when needed.
