One source for supply chain data.
Every partner in step.
Suppliers, certifiers, brands, and auditors all keep records about the same facilities, products, and shipments. Commons connects each published record and certificate to everyone who relies on it, so a withdrawal or correction reaches every copy. Intermediaries can build on the same data and publish services of their own.
The same facility.
A dozen different records.
Every organization in a supply chain keeps its own copy of the same information, and each copy drifts from the source a little more with every change.
Each brand, auditor, and certifier lists it differently, with its own names, addresses, and IDs.
A certificate attached to a review stays “valid” in that file long after it is withdrawn.
Suppliers rebuild the same information for every customer, audit, and questionnaire.
Every participant.
A reason to use Commons.
Whoever provides, uses, or adds value to supply chain data, Commons gives them the same connected source to work from.
Share facility, product, and certificate data from your own systems, and keep every copy current.
Subscribe to the sources you rely on. Work from a local copy and receive each published change.
Subscribe to several sources, match and enrich them, and publish the result or a service others can subscribe to.
Publish once.
Share with every partner.
The organization responsible for a record publishes it through its own Store. Brands, retailers, auditors, and importers subscribe and keep local copies in their own systems.
Each later change reaches every subscriber. Each recipient decides whether to review, update, or act on it.
Many contributors.
One shared facility record.
A facility can publish its own profile. A certifier publishes its certificates, and a brand its supplier list. Each stays the source for what it publishes.
An intermediary can subscribe to all of them, match records to one facility and publish the result as its own Store, so others don’t repeat the matching.
Know which certificate
the review used.
A review records the version it relied on. When a correction arrives, compare the two.
That shows what data was used. It doesn’t prove the product meets a standard.
Share what’s agreed.
Keep judgment where it belongs.
Each publisher decides who can read its Store and for how long. Removing access stops future updates; it doesn’t erase copies already delivered.
Certification, matching, and recall decisions stay with the organizations that own them. Commons does not certify goods.
Every copy connected.
Every decision traceable.
Keep every copy connected to its source, and every decision to the version it was made on.
