TraceNet

What TraceNet does

TraceNet is a Quebec City-based SaaS platform that provides real-time project management and traceability for the secure transport and compliant disposal of soil, waste, and construction materials. The platform connects site owners, project managers, transporters, receiving sites, and environmental consultants through an interconnected digital workspace with role-based access, featuring real-time GPS tracking via driver mobile devices, paperless digital manifest management with QR-code distribution, automated greenhouse gas calculations, and 24/7 reporting. A native mobile application extends the platform to drivers and field operators on iOS and Android. The company primarily serves municipal governments (Ville de Québec, City of Montreal), provincial crown corporations (Hydro-Québec), large real estate developers (Royalmount), and environmental remediation contractors (Sanexen, Avatek Immobilier) across Ontario and Quebec, with explicit compliance support for Ontario's Excess Soil regulation (O. Reg 406/19) and Quebec's ClimatSol-Plus (MELCC) program.

The underlying technology combines web-based and native mobile applications that capture structured manifest, project, vehicle, and GPS data, expose it through role-based dashboards with export to .xlsx/.csv, and apply rule-based automation for GHG emissions calculation, plate-based driver lookup, route calculation, and chain-of-custody verification. Modular components include the ClimatSol-Plus compliance module, GPS Tracking Module, Manifest Management module, and Soil Samples Manager. TraceNet monetizes through recurring platform subscriptions with role-based tiers, quote-based pricing, and an annual billing cadence. The go-to-market blends enterprise field sales targeting municipalities and large construction projects with demo-driven engagement, alongside product-led adoption via self-serve mobile app downloads for drivers and receiving sites.

Direct peers

• Motive (KeepTruckin): Fleet management and ELD platform with GPS tracking, driver apps, and dispatch workflow for trucking and construction. Closely comparable on real-time vehicle tracking, mobile-driver workflows, and multi-stakeholder visibility — though it does not target soil/waste regulatory compliance specifically.

Broad incumbents

• Geotab: Canadian-headquartered fleet telematics leader serving commercial vehicle fleets with GPS tracking and analytics. Comparable as a regional platform combining telematics, compliance, and fleet data — though its scope is broader and not focused on soil/waste chain of custody.
• Trimble: Construction technology platform with logistics, material tracking, and asset management modules for heavy civil and infrastructure projects. Comparable on tracking construction-related material movement and project-level oversight at scale.
• Procore: Construction project management SaaS used by general contractors and owners for project execution, document control, and reporting. Comparable as a connected stakeholder platform for construction projects, though it does not specialize in soil/waste traceability or compliance.
• Sphera: Enterprise EHS, risk, and ESG software platform with modules for environmental compliance and operational data. Comparable on the environmental compliance and ESG reporting angle, though positioned for large enterprises across multiple regulated domains.
• Samsara: IoT/fleet management platform providing real-time GPS tracking, ELDs, and operational analytics across logistics, construction, and field operations. Comparable on the real-time GPS tracking and project-fleet monitoring use case, but addresses a much broader set of industries.
• ESRI (ArcGIS): GIS and location intelligence platform widely used for environmental, infrastructure, and asset-tracking applications. Comparable on map-based real-time visualization of geographically distributed assets and field data, though it is a horizontal platform rather than a turnkey compliance solution.

Emerging players

• Locus Technologies: Cloud-based EHS and environmental compliance software serving industrial customers with waste management, reporting, and air/water compliance modules. Comparable on the environmental compliance workflow and chain-of-custody documentation, though broader than soil transport tracking.
• Command Alkon (formerly B2W Software): Construction materials management and logistics platform for heavy/civil and aggregate operations, tracking material movement from source to site. Comparable on construction material chain-of-custody and project logistics, particularly for heavy civil and infrastructure workflows.
• Optera: Emissions management and ESG data platform enabling enterprises to measure, manage, and report GHG across operations and supply chains. Comparable on the automated GHG calculation and ESG reporting capability, though focused upstream on emissions rather than transport compliance.
