§ 02How we started

From both ends of the same container.

Ragtrail started with a simple observation from people who had worked both ends of the trade: a charity in the UK and a sorting house in Karachi were each paying intermediaries to vouch for someone they could have verified themselves.

We started with the buyers, signing verified, duty-compliant sorting houses to written specifications, because trustworthy demand was the scarce side. Then we moved the first containers by hand, and wrote down every rule we had to invent along the way. That set of rules is now the Ragtrail KYB standard.

§ 03How we're organised

A small team, on the ground at both ends.

Four desks run every trade, from the supplier's yard to the buyer's sort floor. You always have a named contact; call or WhatsApp the trade desk any time.

  • 01

    Supply desk

    UK, USA, Canada, Australia

    Supplier onboarding, stock descriptions, quotes per tonne, loading evidence and supplier payments.

  • 02

    Buyer operations

    Karachi

    Buyer verification and site visits, buying specs, offers, arrivals and the claims process on the sort floor.

  • 03

    Logistics & documents

    Origin ports to Karachi

    Container bookings, fumigation, bills of lading, vessel tracking and the document pack for every box.

  • 04

    Compliance & KYB

    UK

    The KYB standard, sanctions and PEP screening, document control, and the positions on our Compliance & Impact page.

§ 04How we work

Four commitments we hold ourselves to.

Get in touch

We say what we don't know

Where a rule is under review, we say so. We don't present a debate as settled.

We don't take both sides' money quietly

Our fee is one line on one invoice. If that ever changes, it changes in writing first.

We go and look

Yards and sort floors are visited, not described to us.

We put it in writing

Specs, evidence, claims and decisions, so either side can hold us to them.

§ 05Invest

Every container, a verifiable digital asset.

Ragtrail already turns each container into a verified, fingerprinted trade record. Next, that record can be financed and transferred as a token, so suppliers are paid sooner and buyers can fund stock in transit. Exploratory

§ 06Why it matters

Trade finance for a trade that rarely gets any.

Suppliers

Paid sooner

A financier can pay against the token at loading, instead of waiting for the buyer's balance.

Sorters

Stock financed in transit

Smaller deposits, and working capital that isn't locked up while the box is at sea.

Financiers

A real, verified asset

Short-tenor, goods-backed exposure with KYB on both sides and a tamper-evident document trail.
