Connected Identity & Credential Suite
Supply chains run on trust and risk aversion. That’s why TradeVeris turns
identity into operational advantage without disrupting what already works.
We enrich your workflows with purpose-bound, verifiable credentials,
accelerating clearance, improving compliance, and enabling secure,
paper-light operations across supply chains – all in a controlled, low-risk way.

Benefits That Transform Supply Chains Safely
- Accelerate every port call
Submit IMO FAL declarations digitally pre-arrival through MSW and PCS systems. One submission, multiple authorities, zero duplication. - Effortless access control
Gate entry becomes instant with Appointment Credentials and role-based authorisations – verified in seconds, no PINs, no paper. - Reduce Fraud, Improve Security
Move away from copyable PDFs to cryptographically verifiable credentials bound to device wallets. - Cross‑border trust assurance
All credentials anchored in EBSI trust registries and sector roots like GLEIF vLEI, ensuring global verifiability without complex integrations. - Enhance collaboration without friction
Works across any PCS or MSW without requiring deep bilateral integrations – verifiable credentials that work seamlessly across ports and systems, without the heavy integrations and federated complexity of connecting diverse centralised platforms. - Privacy by design
Share only what’s required for the purpose – selective disclosure, explicit consent, revocation/status checks, and verifiable timestamps – without proliferating documents. While delivering full traceability for audits. - Compliance built‑in
Align with IMO FAL Convention, mandatory MSW, and EU EMSWe requirements – stay audit‑ready for regulators and insurers.
Why Risk-Averse Operators Choose TradeVeris
- Validate Without Disruption
No big-bang changes. Start with a Readiness Assessment and Sandbox Integration– observe how credential enrichment fits your PCS workflows before committing. - Built for Existing Ecosystems
Works with Port Community Systems (PCS) and Maritime Single Window (MSW) platforms you already use. No deep bilateral integrations, no federated complexity. - Anchored in Global Trust Networks
Credentials validated against EBSI trust registries and sector roots like GLEIF vLEI, ensuring global verifiability without reinventing your processes.
How it Works
Issue
Trusted parties (e.g., shipping lines, terminal operators, port authorities, employers) issue purpose credentials via OID4VCI – from FAL data attestations to Appointment/Role credentials – into organisational and personal wallets.
Hold
Credentials are stored in organisation wallets (for entity‑level/FAL data) and personal wallets (for crew/driver attributes), with delegated access and role binding (e.g., via vLEI OOR/ECR).
Present
Verifiers (PCS/MSW, terminals, gate systems, customs) request just the needed proofs using OID4VP. Wallets respond with a Verifiable Presentation (VP), applying selective disclosure and consent.
Verify & Trust
Receivers validate signatures, issuer status, and schemas against EBSI trust registries (and other sector trust lists) and return instant pass/fail + reason codes.
Audit
Every interaction yields an evidence package (policy IDs, timestamps, credential status references) for compliance, claims, and insurers – no binders, no photocopies.
Traditional vs Credential Enrichment
| Aspect | Traditional Process | With TradeVeris Credential Enrichment |
|---|---|---|
| Pre arrival clearance | Multiple PDFs, emails, manual uploads to PCS/MSW | Single Verifiable Presentation (VP) with minimal FAL data – instant validation |
| Gate access | Paper passes, PIN codes, visual checks | Appointment + Role credentials verified in seconds – no PINs, no paper |
| Compliance | Re keying, duplicate submissions, risk of errors | Automated schema validation, >99% accuracy, full audit trail |
| Data privacy | Oversharing entire documents | Selective disclosure – share only what’s needed, with consent |
| Cross border trust | Local checks, federated integrations | Global verifiability via EBSI trust registries and vLEI |
| Security | Vulnerable to fraud and impersonation | Cryptographically signed credentials, device bound wallets |
| Operational speed | Hours of clearance and gate delays | Clearance cut by 3–6.5 hours; gate throughput accelerated |
| Cost impact | $300–$400 admin cost per port call | Significant savings through automation and paperless flows |
Credential Enrichment Toolkit
Organisational Wallet
Issue, hold, and verify credentials in one secure wallet for your organisation
- Issue: Create and manage purpose credentials from approved sources (authority, employer, terminal)
- Hold: Device‑bound, role‑aware access for employees/contractors; supports multiple wallets per user
- Verify: Embedded verifier tools (QR scan, link‑based) and API widgets for portals and kiosks
Key capabilities:
- Delegations to planner, driver, contractor, etc.
- Status checks & revocation awareness
Port Compliance Credential Templates
Ready-to-use templates aligned to the forms and attestations used at arrival/berth
- Pre‑arrival (FAL): General Declaration, Cargo Declaration, Crew List, Health Declaration
- Environmental & safety: Waste Notification, Ballast Water Report, Dangerous Goods Manifest
- Access‑adjacent: Appointment Credential (time‑windowed slot), Proof of Employment/Engagement, Vehicle identity & exemptions
Each template includes:
- Mandatory fields & schema
- Issuer requirements & trust anchor (EBSI)
- Sample presentation policies (data minimisation)
Developer-First
APIs, widgets, and integration tools to make credential verification simple and fast
- Verification widgets (drop‑in component) and QR flows for guards/kiosks
- REST APIs for issuance, status, and verification
- DC‑API support so partner portals can request verifiable presentations without wallet‑protocol complexity
- SCIM alignment for Joiner/Mover/Leaver linking with your IdP (delegation and access only – no orchestration)
Governance & Audit
Full lifecycle control with consent-first flows and exportable compliance evidence
- Credential lifecycle: issuance, suspension, revocation
- Consent & selective disclosure everywhere (privacy by design)
- Exportable evidence packages (timestamps, issuer, credential status, policy reference) for compliance and insurance
MSW & EMSWe Ready
The Maritime Single Window (MSW), mandatory under the IMO FAL Convention, and the EU’s EMSWe framework require ports to accept standardised digital submissions for pre‑arrival and clearance. Credential Enrichment delivers these FAL datasets as verifiable credentials, ready for MSW and PCS workflows. TradeVeris ensures your data is compliant, reusable, and instantly verifiable – so you meet regulatory mandates without reinventing your reporting process.
Use Cases
These two scenarios are just examples of what Credential Enrichment enables. Whether it’s pre‑arrival compliance or secure gate access, the same principles apply across countless supply chain workflows – adding purpose to identity, reducing paperwork, and enabling instant, verifiable interactions. From environmental attestations to role‑based authorisations, Credential Enrichment scales to any operational need where trust and compliance matter.
Pre-Arrival Clearance
A vessel submits FAL forms digitally via PCS/MSW.
- The Master’s organisational wallet compiles General Declaration, Cargo Declaration, Crew List, and DG indicators from authoritative sources.
- PCS requests a Verifiable Presentation; the wallet responds with minimal data, consented and schema‑validated.
- Authorities reuse the submission across customs, immigration, and health – no duplicate forms, no manual re‑keying.
Why ports/lines like this
- Aligns with Maritime Single Window (MSW) mandate and EU EMSWe harmonisation.
- Data minimisation (crew attributes without document scans; DG class without full manifest except when required).
- Reduces clearance time by hours.
- Faster clearance & fewer errors; pilot metrics indicate hours saved and fewer re‑keys.
Trusted Goods Handling & Gate Access
A driver arrives at a terminal gate.
- Presents Appointment Credential and Proof of Employment from their wallet.
- If required, discloses DG class or environmental exemption – nothing more.
- Gate system verifies instantly against trust registries and logs the event for compliance.
Benefits observed/expected in pilots
- Reduced fraud and cargo theft risk; closed chain + verifiable credentials prevents PIN leakage and impersonation.
- Real‑time traceability across stakeholders; strong “who‑acts‑for‑whom” assurance.
- Operational speed‑ups and “paper‑light” gates with <1% re‑key events when integrated with PCS.
