From first contact to closed and proven.
How it works
Every commodity deal moves through the same five stages. Most desks stitch them together across email, chat apps, spreadsheets, and a separate screening tool. TradeFlow OS runs all five in one place.
Identify
Business Verification and counterparty screening establish who you are dealing with before anything moves.
Connect
Open a deal room and bring your counterparty in: real-time chat, voice notes, and file sharing put both sides in one shared workspace.
Negotiate
Run the deal in a shared room with chat, voice notes, term sheets, and tracked revisions.
Document & Sign
Generate any of 16 trade documents and capture immutable, hash-stamped electronic signatures.
Prove
Attach a provenance passport so the chain of custody travels with the commodity, publicly verifiable.
Stage 01 · Identify
Know who you're dealing with, first.
Before a kilo moves, prove your business. Business Verification confirms the company and its key people in one automated check, and on-demand screening checks every counterparty.
Business Verification
Company and key people, verified in one check
One automated check, no manual review, confirms your company exists through registry and incorporation checks, identifies and screens every ultimate beneficial owner, and runs entity AML and sanctions screening against 1300+ global lists. The same check verifies your key people with a government ID, liveness, and face match across 220+ countries, screened against the same 1300+ lists. It is included on every paid plan and a one-time 5 USD check on the Free plan. Sanctions screening also runs on demand for any counterparty.
- 1300+ lists across dozens of jurisdictions: OFAC, UN, EU, UK, SECO, BIS, Interpol, MAS, and more
- PASS / REVIEW / FLAG outcomes with risk tiers and confidence scores
- Every ultimate beneficial owner and key person screened
- AI web-research summary: registration, ownership, and adverse-media signal (unverified research aid)
