Giving material movement a traceable identity.

Bringing provenance, custody and compliance evidence into one connected view across an energy value chain.

Client

Oil & gas operator, Nigeria

PROJECT OVERVIEW

A Nigerian oil & gas operator needed to demonstrate reliable provenance and chain-of-custody evidence for materials moving through its supply chain — but the information required to do so sat in different systems, controlled by different teams, and was rarely connected end to end.
