What’s It About
The company offers a solution that enables clients across industries to manage risks along their supply chains and efficiently collaborate with business partners at various stages of the value chain. Customers benefit from a comprehensive toolkit, including:
- Supply chain transparency & traceability
- Risk management (risk indices, sanctions lists, etc.)
- Business partner due diligence
- Supplier portal for collaboration with N-tier suppliers
- Action management (e.g. audits, certificates, surveys, documents)
- Product-to-consumer communication (digital product passport, transparency labels)
The key value lies in the integration of all these tools into a seamless, enterprise-wide supply chain risk management and due diligence process – delivering significant efficiency and resilience gains, especially within complex corporate structures.
At the same time, the modular architecture allows flexible use of the tools as stand-alone solutions, which have already proven successful across various application scenarios.

Business Model
The company combines a scalable SaaS model with solution-driven project work, serving two main customer segments:
Stand-Alone Module Clients – typically small companies or departments of larger organizations using selected functional modules. Implementation is fast, with minimal customization. The business is largely standardized and requires little support, offering high margins and scalability.
Fully Integrated Enterprise Clients – mostly multinational corporations with complex supply chains. These clients deploy fully integrated, company-wide processes and are supported over the long term through extensive implementation projects, regular expansions, and consulting services.
Revenue Breakdown:
- ~40% secured through long-term SaaS & support contracts
- ~30% recurring through ongoing client relationships
- ~30% from new implementation projects
Clients
The company currently serves around 10 clients – from mid-sized businesses to global corporations, primarily in retail, FMCG, and the food industry. Many have trusted the company for over a decade, with strong relationships on both operational and strategic levels.
Team
The business is operated by a highly qualified core team of seven professionals covering all product- and client-related functions independently. Day-to-day operations are fully handled by the team – the shareholders have not been involved in operational matters for over a year.
The team includes four experienced developers (also active in client consulting), one lead consultant with over 20 years in the company, one subject matter expert, and an operations manager with a background in auditing, who also contributes operationally.
The collaboration is well-established, with a stable team structure, clearly defined roles, and a flexible, predominantly English-speaking working environment.
Management
The company is owned and led by two shareholders who hold 100% of the shares and are responsible for strategic development and key client relationships. Neither is involved in day-to-day operations.
Headquarters
The company is headquartered in Luxembourg, near the German border.
Transaction Intent
As part of a strategic realignment, the shareholders intend to sell all shares to a suitable partner who can further develop the company and open up new market opportunities.
The business was built with a clear focus on the evolving regulatory landscape of the EU Green Deal and today enjoys a stable, recurring revenue base.
Having successfully established the solution and in light of changing regulatory frameworks, the shareholders believe the time is right to hand over the reins – creating space for fresh ideas and long-term growth.
Transaction Criteria
The shareholders are willing to actively support the transition for an indefinite period – in an advisory role or operationally, as needed. Their goal is a smooth handover with effective knowledge transfer and uninterrupted client and system continuity.
Potential buyers may include strategic investors, industry players, management buy-in candidates, or specialized investment firms.
