Chain of Custody Documentation

Every Log Tells a Story

In an era of heightened environmental awareness, buyers and builders demand proof that their wood products come from responsibly managed forests. Our blockchain-verified Chain of Custody system provides immutable documentation from the moment a tree is marked for harvest to its final destination.

Blockchain Verification System

Immutable Records

Every transaction in our supply chain is recorded on a private blockchain ledger. Once data is entered, it cannot be altered or deleted—providing the highest level of assurance for regulatory compliance and buyer confidence.

🔐 Tamper-proof record of every transaction
⏱️ Time-stamped entries at each custody point
🔗 Complete audit trail from forest to finish
✅ Third-party verifiable by auditors
