Platform + practice

TradeVault handles the day-to-day. Auctus Agri handles the hard cases.

TradeVault Africa is the operational layer for daily compliance work — the DCTS check before a shipment, the CBAM estimate ahead of a Q3 booking, the sanctions screen on a new counterparty. It runs itself, twenty-four hours a day, against the live UK and EU regulatory position.

Auctus Agri is the advisory layer for the complex work TradeVault surfaces — the WTO dispute the platform flags, the buyer spec that requires source-side rework, the MRL revision that breaks the spray programme, the audit failure that needs a written recovery plan.

The two are designed together. TradeVault subscribers get preferential access to Auctus Agri scoping calls; Auctus Agri clients use TradeVault as the operational deliverable at the end of an engagement. Full-year TradeVault subscription is bundled with every Trade & Export advisory engagement.

Details

What to know before subscribing.

Pricing

Individual exporter, cooperative, and enterprise tiers. Pricing published on the TradeVault platform. Full-year TradeVault subscription is bundled with every Auctus Agri Trade & Export advisory engagement.

Data sovereignty

Client data does not leave the client's preferred jurisdiction without written consent. Exporter records are the exporter's — TradeVault provides infrastructure, not ownership.

Regulatory updates

Compliance tools are updated as the underlying regulations change. DCTS revisions, CBAM implementing acts, EUDR guidance, and EU MRL database updates propagate into the platform within the working week.

Integrations

API access for exporters running their own ERP or traceability infrastructure. Native integrations planned for GlobalG.A.P. GGN, PPECB, and DALRRD document flows.

Support

In-platform documentation for every tool. Chat and email support during South African working hours. Enterprise tier includes dedicated compliance-team access.
