A Digital Ecosystem in OriginsNext represents a connected network of Participants that work together across a supply chain or regulatory context. Each Ecosystem enables:
Organisation-level permissions and collaboration.
Shared access to registry data (for example product templates and locations).
End-to-end visibility and traceability.
Streamlined compliance reporting.
Ecosystems can be private (for one company and its suppliers) or public (across an industry or regulatory scheme). They provide the digital trust layer to support scalable, multi-actor compliance workflows.
Example: the SoyNet ecosystem
SoyNet is an OriginsNext ecosystem for the global soy supply chain. It connects the organisations along the soy value chain into one digital ecosystem, end to end, so the same trusted data follows the soy from origin to finished product. A SoyNet ecosystem can link:
Farms and producer groups recording where the soy was grown, with evidence that it is deforestation-free and legally produced.
Traders, crushers and processors recording custody and ownership changes as soy is moved and transformed into products such as meal and oil.
Exporters, shippers and importers recording shipments and orders.
Brands and manufacturers receiving the finished product together with its full history.
Certifiers, regulators and financiers, who are given the specific evidence they need.
Because everyone works in the same ecosystem, each party adds their part once and shares it along the chain. This gives end-to-end traceability from farm to finished product, and the evidence needed for requirements such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), without each company having to rebuild the picture itself.
