Partners
Accreditations, at the tier we actually hold.
Partner logos are the most commonly inflated claim in this industry. Ours are listed with the tier the vendor granted, and you can verify every one with the vendor directly.
Accreditations
Technology partners
Advanced, Gold, Silver, Select — the words mean different things at each vendor, so the tier is shown rather than a generic badge.

What a tier actually means
Two things a partner badge does not tell you
First, most vendor tiers are earned on certification headcount and revenue, not on delivery quality. A firm can hold Gold and have never completed a rollout in your sector.
Second, a "partner" wall often mixes accreditations the firm holds with products the firm merely uses. Those are very different claims, and conflating them is a misrepresentation we see constantly.
Ask any partner — including us — which engagements the accreditation was earned on. The answer separates the firms quickly.

Agricultural trade
Buyers, distributors, and trade bodies
On the agricultural side the relationships that matter are with buyers and certification bodies rather than technology vendors. Most of our buyers prefer not to be named publicly, which is normal in commodity trade and which we respect.
We will introduce you to a reference buyer in your market on request, including one whose first container had a documentation problem that was our fault.
- Certification bodies: Bureau Veritas, BSI, SGS, Control Union
- Trade membership: Vietnam Coffee & Cocoa Association
- Reference buyers available on request, by market
FAQ
Questions about partnerships
Can we verify these accreditations?
Yes, directly with each vendor — that is the point of listing the tier rather than a generic badge. We will give you our partner ID on request.
Do you resell vendor licences?
We do, and we will tell you when buying direct from the vendor is cheaper for you. That happens more often than our margin would prefer.
Can we become a partner?
Sometimes. We say no more often than yes, and we say it within three business days rather than leaving it open. Tell us what you would bring and what you would want.
