Supply Chain Traceability for Launching Partners
We’re looking for builders.
Supply chain transparency is a collaboration problem. Existing tools don’t share the data with the whole supply chain. We are building something different. A platform to share all information you want to share and receive from you supply chain. And we are looking for the people who want to help build it.
Not another dashboard
You have probably done the pilots. You have seen the dashboards. You know that supply chain transparency tools today fall into three buckets: self-assessment platforms that ask companies to describe themselves, AI monitoring that estimates from public data, and transaction platforms that focus on the deal, not the chain.
None of them solve the actual problem: gaining a confirmed view of what happens across the entire chain. They cannot, because they are built on collecting data about companies, not on enabling companies to confirm data beyond their direct partners.
That is what 1Left1Right does differently. The handshake principle. Each company confirms its data with its direct partners, one step left and one step right. Each handshake becomes part of a growing network of confirmed facts.
What you get as a launching partner
A seat at the table
You influence the platform roadmap. You help define the standards. You are not a customer; you are a co-builder.
A focused pilot
We do not ask you to roll this out across your organisation. We start with one item, one bill-of-Material, one supplier, and one component. Prove the value, then scale.
Direct access
You work directly with Jan-Wrister Bouwman, the founder. No layers of account management. Real conversations about what works and what does not.
First-mover advantage
The companies that join early shape the network. They become the natural partners as the network grows. They lead the conversation in their industry.
Who we are looking for
Launching partners come from across the chain. OEMs that want visibility beyond tier 1. Suppliers that want bidirectional information. End customers that want clear sustainability claims. Innovation managers who have done the pilots and know that what is on the market today does not solve the actual problem.
What you have in common: you understand that supply chain transparency is built collaboratively, not bought off the shelf. You are willing to help build it.
How a launching partner engagement works
1.
We talk
Schedule a consultation with Jan-Wrister. We discuss your situation, your challenges, and whether 1Left1Right is the right fit.
2.
We define a pilot
One Item, one BOM, one supplier, one component. Or one customer relationship. A focused scope where we can prove the value quickly.
3.
We build together
You provide the input from the field. We adapt the platform to what real chain transparency requires. The result is a platform shaped by people who actually use it.
4.
We scale
Once the pilot proves the value, we expand. More suppliers, more components, more customers. The network grows.
From pilot fatigue to proof
The launching partners we are looking for have done the pilots and seen the dashboards. They are tired of “yet another supply chain platform” that does not solve the actual problem.
They know that you need to take action now. And they know that real transparency requires building, not buying.
If that is you, we should talk.
Frequently asked questions from launching partners
What does being a launching partner actually involve?
It means you commit to a focused pilot, you’re open, cooperate, give honest feedback on the platform, and you help shape the roadmap. There is no contractual lock-in. The intent is to build something that works for you and for the rest of the chain.
How do I start a pilot?
Schedule a consultation with Jan-Wrister. We discuss your situation and define a pilot scope that fits your context. The first step is always a conversation, not a contract.
What influence do I have on the roadmap?
Significant. As a launching partner, your input directly shapes what we build next. We are at the proof-of-concept stage, which means decisions about features, integrations, and standards are still open. The companies that join now have the most influence.
What is the current status of 1Left1Right?
1Left1Right is in its proof-of-concept phase. The core mechanism (handshake-based confirmation, complementary integration with existing systems, bidirectional information) is built. We are now working with first launching partners to validate the approach and shape the next phase.
Build the future of supply chain transparency
Supply chain transparency cannot be created by one company alone. It grows when organisations connect and confirm information with their partners. Join the first organisations building a trusted supply chain data network.
