## About the product

OpenTRD is a data infrastructure platform for enterprises, government institutions, and organisations that need unified, verified business and operational records for procurement, supplier, compliance, and mission-critical workflows.

It connects fragmented inputs into linked records for entities, assets, events, and relationships, then preserves evidence and change history so teams can audit and explain decisions.

Key capabilities include:
- **Unify and ingest** data from **ERPs**, supplier registers, public filings, operational feeds (including fleet telemetry), document archives, and other evidence into a single **graph** of records
- **Entity resolution** across companies, directors, assets, contracts, locations, and systems to reduce duplicates and mismatched identities
- **Field-level verification and provenance**, including source references, timestamps, verification status, **conflict detection**, and confidence tracking
- **Classification with domain ontologies** calibrated for South African public and private industry, covering entities, documents, relationships, risks, and obligations
- **Continuous maintenance** to reconcile changes in filings, ownership, compliance, contracts, documents, and operational records
- **Serving options** such as **API**, graph, registry, federated query, dashboards, and **audit trails**
- **Security and governance controls**, including role-based access, segmented workspaces, permissions, full activity logging, and POPIA-aligned controls for purpose, retention, review, lineage, and evidence

Available on **Web**, with data access described via **API**.

Target users include South African **enterprise data, procurement, compliance, and operations teams**, as well as public sector institutions that manage supplier and operational datasets.

Notable in the South African context, the site publishes a live index of **15,000+ business entities**, **180+ sources ingested**, and **99.2% source-traceable records** (website-stated), with coverage examples across mining, industry, government, trade, infrastructure, and diplomatic missions.
