ChainTraced's data exchange platform connects metallic value chains from raw material to end product. Your quality and sustainability data becomes digital, so the information travels automatically with the product itself. Without fragmented email-, PDF-, and spreadsheet-based workflows.
Essentially, we help you gain both short and long-term business value as our industry accelerates towards verified, traceable data sharing practices.
ChainTraced has spent years working hand-in-hand with steel mills, forges, and component manufacturers – turning the way they work into a platform. From quality assurance and certificate management to Product Carbon Footprint and Digital Product Passports, our offerings reflect deep expertise in how complex industrial supply chains actually run.
Quality assurance, carbon reporting, and the upcoming Digital Product Passport (DPP) all demand the same foundation – verified, transparent data flows. Most companies are already exchanging this data manually, in fragments, across disconnected tools.
ChainTraced replaces that fragmentation with one platform, built on the core logic of the DPP, so you stay compliant and competitive as requirements evolve. We help you start where it makes most sense for your business, and grow gradually into full DPP readiness.
Automate product quality data management with digital transfer of Part Approval documents, 3.1 certificates and lot documentation with your customers and suppliers. No PDFs lost in inboxes.

MAIN CHALLENGE
BUMAX relied on an aging custom tool for certificates and document approvals, requiring time-consuming manual workarounds and external consultant dependency. As outbound certificate volumes grew, the need for a more automated, traceable process became urgent.
OUR SOLUTION
Starting as a pilot in 2020, ChainTraced established a digital certificate management process at BUMAX – handling product requirements, validation, and distribution in one platform. Supplier Fagersta Stainless was onboarded to share quality data digitally, extending traceability across the supply chain.

– CHALLENGE
voestalpine HPM built its rigorous inSPire sustainability framework around four pillars — including sustainable sourcing, tied to the Group target of cutting Scope 3 supply-chain CO₂ emissions 25% by 2029. Mapping that footprint across the entire upstream value chain was the open challenge.
– SOLUTION
Together, ChainTraced and voestalpine HPM collected emission data for a selected alloy across the upstream value chain. Prioritising data collection, the two teams onboarded suppliers as a joint effort — and with the gathered data, ChainTraced simulated the potential impact and major reduction potentials.
Traceability for the metallic value chain is being defined right now, and ChainTraced is in the rooms where it happens. With Ovako, Sandvik Coromant and Seco Tools, we turn the DPP from regulation into working practice.

Four steps from fragmented paperwork to an end-to-end audit trail
1
INGEST
Connect existing systems and import certificates
ChainTraced plugs into your existing ERP, LIMS, MES and PLM, no replacement needed. Mill certificates, test reports and process data are read, digitised and automatically matched to the right lot.
2
GRAPH
Build the material graph lot by lot
Every lot, heat, component and finished part gets linked to its raw material origin across every supplier and tier. The result is a clear, searchable record of where every material came from.
3
PROVE
Approve parts and issue outbound certificates
Issue PPAP documentation and verified material certificates directly to your customers. Every data point is traceable back to the source, delivered via API or with selective disclosure per recipient.
4
REPORT
Compliance without the hassle, always audit ready
Compute PCF on primary data and issue 3.1 certificates on demand. Each stakeholder gets access to exactly what they need to see, nothing more. ChainTraced is built for Digital Product Passport readiness, keeping your operations ahead of ESPR as requirements are finalised.
WHY TRACEABILITY, WHY NOW?
Regulation changed the stakes. Our market craves traceability
ESPR, CBAM and DPP are moving traceability from “nice to have” to line-item procurement requirement. The suppliers who can prove provenance are the ones winning contracts. At ChainTraced, we believe all companies should be able to secure the business benefits of verified data exchange. Therefore, we built our platform for our industry as a whole, making these practices easily accessible for every player.
