Explore the complete collection of frequently asked questions covering the OriginsNext platform, operations, and support.
What is OriginsNext? OriginsNext is the infrastructure of trust for global commodity supply chains. It bridges the compliance gap by allowing producers, aggregators, traders and global buyers to securely exchange trusted origin data, transforming fragmented records into proactive, audit-ready intelligence that secures your supply chain with ground-truth data.
Who owns OriginsNext? OriginsNext is an independent company and a neutral, collaborative industry utility, backed by a strategic alliance with KPMG. It is not owned by any single trading house, so it can operate as a foundational network for entire commodity ecosystems.
Who can access and use OriginsNext? OriginsNext connects every participant in a commodity ecosystem. Because data sharing is strictly permissioned, participants ranging from producers and aggregators to multinational buyers, banks, insurers and governments can connect and securely exchange specific data.
Which commodities does OriginsNext support? The OriginsNext platform is commodity-agnostic. It supports traceability and compliance for both bulk and serialised goods, through tailored ecosystems including SoyNet (soy), CoffeeNet (coffee), AWTS (coral and aquatic wildlife) and SAF, plus configurable support for other commodities.
Which regions does OriginsNext support? OriginsNext is a global platform, supporting organisations that produce, trade, finance or buy commodities anywhere in the world, with regional hubs across LATAM, Europe, ASEAN and the Pacific.
How does OriginsNext support Farm & Production? OriginsNext lets producers securely digitise their output at the exact point of origin. This automates compliance from the very first step and protects market access right at the source.
How does OriginsNext support Storage & Processing? At the storage and processing stage, OriginsNext consolidates multi-source data without losing the origin trail, so compliance stays automated and market access protected even as volumes are mixed at aggregation and processing facilities.
How does OriginsNext support Export & Trading? For exporters and traders, OriginsNext validates international compliance before the cargo ever leaves the port, automating assurance to protect your market access globally.
How does OriginsNext support End Buyers? At the end-buyer stage, OriginsNext uncovers hidden vulnerabilities deep within your indirect supply chain, providing the automated compliance and verified evidence needed to satisfy global mandates.
How does OriginsNext support Financiers? OriginsNext gives banks, insurers and investors verified, defensible supply chain data, so lending, insurance and investment decisions can be based on evidence rather than estimates.
How does OriginsNext transform data into intelligence? OriginsNext provides the infrastructure of trust to turn fragmented supply chain records into proactive, audit-ready intelligence. The network lets participants connect, collect, comply and securely communicate data across the entire ecosystem.
Can I access deforestation assessments directly from OriginsNext? Yes. Premium subscribers can use ONX Insight and ONX Comply to access dynamic, automated deforestation and environmental risk assessments from connected services, including KPMG Watch, for early warnings deep within their indirect supply chain.
Do I need to replace my existing ERP or CRM systems? Not at all. OriginsNext is designed for operational interoperability. Through secure API integrations, it synchronises verified network intelligence directly back into your existing systems, enhancing your current tech stack.
Is my data secure? Data security is the foundation of OriginsNext. Hosted on Microsoft Azure, the platform uses government-grade security protocols, and key data points are locked in a tamper-evident, immutable ledger to guarantee both privacy and auditability.
Will my data be sold, or will competitors see my supply chain? Absolutely not. Your data is never sold, reused or exposed to unauthorised parties. Every participant retains granular control over exactly what data is shared, with whom and for what purpose.
How does OriginsNext protect commercially sensitive information from buyers? The platform operates on a strict permissioned data-sharing model. You can share validated compliance proofs, such as deforestation-free status, with buyers without ever exposing your sensitive indirect supplier identities, pricing or commercial relationships.
What is the strategic alliance between OriginsNext and KPMG? Built on innovation, backed by authority. OriginsNext provides the technological infrastructure of trust, while KPMG brings market credibility and ESG expertise, together establishing a definitive, independent intelligence infrastructure for global commodity ecosystems.
What support services does OriginsNext offer? Every participant on the network has access to our help desk and live, on-demand chat via ONX Assist. Premium enterprise customers also receive dedicated onboarding, training and strategic compliance support from our KPMG alliance team.
How can I test the platform and request access? Reach out to the OriginsNext team via our Contact page to join the network, request a sandbox trial to test the environment with zero legal friction, or request technical support.
What plans does OriginsNext offer? OriginsNext offers two plans: a free Network Gateway tier to connect and establish your digital footprint, and an Intelligence tier with proactive mapping, compliance automation and AI, priced on enquiry.
Is Network Gateway really free? Yes. Gateway gives you registry access, a secure data vault and the ability to respond to evidence requests at no cost, so participating in the network is never blocked by price.
How is the Intelligence plan priced? Intelligence is tailored to the scale and complexity of your supply chain. Request trial access and our team will scope the right deployment with you.
Can I start on Gateway and upgrade later? Yes. Most participants begin on Gateway and move to Intelligence as their compliance obligations and buyer demands grow, and your data and history carry across.
Does pricing change by commodity or ecosystem? No. The same two plans apply across every ecosystem, whether you handle soy, coffee, coral, aviation-fuel feedstock or another commodity.
