Frequently asked questions
Get in touch if your question wasn't answered here.
Does Blockforce integrate with our ERP (SAP, TOTVS, Oracle)?
Yes. The platform has an open API and pre-configured connectors for the main ERPs in the Brazilian and global markets. A typical integration takes 2 to 4 weeks, including field mapping and validation.
Does it work for sectors beyond fashion and textiles?
Yes. The platform was designed for any supply chain that needs traceability and ESG compliance. We operate in fashion, retail, consumer goods and agribusiness. The modules are configurable by sector and by regulation.
Do I need my own blockchain or specific infrastructure?
No. The blockchain infrastructure is managed by Blockforce. Your team interacts with dashboards, APIs and reports. The blockchain layer operates behind the scenes to ensure the immutability and auditability of the data.
How does the pricing model work?
Pricing is by module and data volume (products traced, suppliers connected). No per-user charges. Get in touch for a proposal sized to your current reality.
Does the platform specifically address CVM 193?
Yes. Supply Chain Screening builds the entire database organized for ISSB reports from verified data on supplier qualification, traceability and supply chain due diligence. The scope is supply chain — supply chain data.
Does Blockforce's DPP follow the GS1 standard?
Yes. Our Digital Passport is born to GS1 standards — the same set of global retail norms — with documentation available via API in JSON, JSON-LD and EPCIS 2.0 formats. This ensures interoperability: your DPP is read by retailer, marketplace and regulator systems in any country, with no adaptation.
How long until the first dataset for a regulatory report is generated?
It depends on data maturity. With supplier data already available, the first report (GRI or ISSB) can be generated in 6 to 8 weeks after onboarding. This includes integration, data loading and validation.
What is Blockforce's Trust Layer?
It is the platform's layer of trust: the technology that turns each record in your system into verifiable proof. The Trust Layer provides a record that an auditor, regulator or buyer can check on their own, without needing access to your system. You keep using your tools; the Trust Layer gives them the ability to prove that every piece of information is true and unaltered.
Can I contract only the verifiable-data layer via API?
Yes. The Trust Layer is accessible via API: you connect your system and handle only your front-end. The entire verification, blockchain-anchoring and proof-generation layer is on us. It is the most direct way to add verifiable data to what you already have, without building or operating a blockchain.
What's the difference between 'verifiable data' and 'self-declaration'?
Self-declaration is any data generated by the declarant itself without independent verification — for example, supplier forms, spreadsheets and signed PDFs. Verifiable data is a record with traceable origin, an immutable timestamp and a complete trail, anchored by Blockforce. Regulators (CVM 193, CSRD, EUDR) and auditors require verifiable data; self-declarations create regulatory risk.
Where does the supplier qualification data in ESG Compliance come from?
A neural network of AI agents continuously scrapes dozens of public and private databases to qualify and monitor each supplier — sources such as MapBiomas, CAR/SiCAR, Ibama, Serasa, the Forced Labor 'Dirty List' (Gov), Climatiq and certification bases like LWG, ABVTEX and Rainforest Alliance. The cross-referencing is automatic, generating an ESG score and non-compliance alerts with no manual collection.
Am I ready for the European regulation (ESPR/EUDR) with the DPP?
The DPP meets ESPR, EUDR and CS3D with data backed by qualified suppliers and traced products. It is not an empty QR Code. For textiles, the DPP will be mandatory in the EU in 2027. Those who export or supply to large European retailers can get ahead now with evidence accepted by importers.
Does my company's data become public on the blockchain?
Not automatically. You decide what becomes verifiable and public; this is the Trust Event concept. Internal records, readings and tests are not published. The architecture combines a private permissioned layer (for audits and legal compliance) with public anchoring, balancing transparency, privacy and auditability.
