HOW IT WORKS
Visibility starts with your direct partners
Every company already works with suppliers and customers. 1Left1Right builds on those existing relationships.
You confirm:
- who your suppliers are
- who your customers are
- what products move between you
Your partners confirm the same. This mutual confirmation validates the information. From these connections, a clear value chain network emerges.
The principles behind the network
Validated data
Decisions should be based on real information, not assumptions. In 1Left1Right, value chain data is confirmed by both sides of the relationship.
This “four-eyes principle” ensures that the information in the network is based on real data, not AI, estimates or surveys.
The result: More reliable insight into your value chain.
Bidirectional information
Value chain information rarely moves both ways today. But it should. 1Left1Right enables companies to exchange relevant information with their direct partners.
This allows both sides to:
• anticipate changes
• detect risks and issues earlier
• align expectations
Visibility becomes a shared benefit across the chain.
Always current
Traditional reporting often relies on annual surveys or periodic reports. By the time the results are available, the situation may already have changed.
1Left1Right works with the most accurate, complete and up to date data as provided. Because companies maintain their own data and confirm connections with partners, information remains current and relevant. That means earlier signals and better decisions.
You control your data
Your intellectual property is protected. Trust is essential in value chains. That’s why every company keeps full control over its own data. In their own decentralized data system as part of the platform. Your system-of-record is the source for 1Left1Right, so no vendor lock-in
You decide:
• what information you share
• with which partners
• and at what level of detail
Your data remains always yours. This makes collaboration possible without losing control.
The network effect
Value chains are networks. The value of the platform grows as more companies connect.
Even connecting with a limited number of key suppliers already reveals a large part of the network. As more organisations join, the shared visibility increases and creates better insight for everyone involved.
Launching partners play a key role in building this first network.
Profit and purpose, from the same data
The visibility you get about your value chain also connects all sustainability data. Your sustainability data follows the physical flow of the product. From supplier to supplier, from tier to tier, including the circular flows. Purpose becomes a by-product of the visibility you already have.
From data to action
Value chain visibility is valuable only if it leads to better decisions. 1Left1Right helps companies identify where attention is needed:
- missing information
- potential supply risks
- gaps in certifications
- dependencies in the chain
Instead of searching through fragmented data, companies gain clear signals on where to act.
Built to work with your existing systems
1Left1Right complements the systems you already use. Your data is typically maintained in software applications such as:
- Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
- Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
- Product Information Management (PIM)
1Left1Right gets the data from these systems and turns it into shared value chain insight. No need to replace your existing tools. No vendor lock-in. Just connect.
Build visibility together
Value chain visibility cannot be created by one company alone.
It grows when organisations connect and validate information with their partners.
