Trustnet.Trade from Cargodian GmbH

What Trustnet.Trade from Cargodian GmbH does

Trustnet.Trade is the cloud-based Compliance-as-a-Service product of Cargodian GmbH, a privately held German company founded in 2021 by Peter Selmayr (CEO) and Klaus Burkart (COO) and headquartered in Rohrdorf, Germany. The platform delivers business-partner compliance for B2B supply chains through a unified, fully serverless web application that requires no local installation, covering KYB verification with UBO identification, sanctions/embargo/AMS/PEP screening against UN, EU, UK, US, Swiss, and Japan lists, supply chain risk analysis and documentation under the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) and EU CSDDD, and whistleblower intake compliant with the HinSchG. An embeddable Trustnet.Trade Widget lets verified suppliers display real-time compliance status on their own websites, creating a two-sided ecosystem in which buyers and suppliers on the platform can exchange verification data instantly. The company cites a PEP database of over 1,150,000 names, 46 countries served, 29 payment currencies, and integration with on-site audit partners and AHK chambers abroad.

The business model is B2B SaaS subscription CaaS, with a sales-led motion through website contact forms and promotional trial codes rather than publicly disclosed list pricing. Targeted customer segments include buyers/purchasers needing KYB and LkSG/CSDDD due diligence, suppliers seeking proactive transparency via the widget, companies required to screen employees against sanctions lists, and small and medium-sized entities that the company positions as its core strength. Visible customers span holding/manufacturing (KRAIBURG), mobility services (DKV Euro Service), solar manufacturing (Meyer Burger), industrial controls (KSV Koblenz), refractory (REFKO), municipal utilities (Stadtwerke Rosenheim), advisory firms (Rödl & Partner, DQS CFS, Nabenhauer Consulting), and SMBs (Cyraco, Stellwerk18). With 1-10 employees and no disclosed institutional funding, the company relies on certifications (BAFA eligibility validated by PwC), regulatory specialization (LkSG/CSDDD/HinSchG), and a partnership footprint with German Chambers of Commerce Abroad in Finland, Netherlands, Malaysia, Egypt, Brazil, India, and Vietnam, alongside a 2025 cooperation with customs-advisory SW Zoll-Beratung GmbH.
