What ReSource does

ReSource is a B2B SaaS traceability and ESG compliance platform purpose-built for the battery and critical minerals supply chain, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Amsterdam. The platform provides continuous supply chain mapping up to Tier-N, chain-of-custody tracking across multiple models (mass balance, identity preserved, segregated, controlled blending, Book and Claim), AI-driven compliance and risk analysis, and digital battery passport issuance aligned with EU, US, and China requirements. Its core differentiation is structural: ReSource was created and is governed by three founding upstream mining partners — Glencore, CMOC, and ERG — whose combined output represents more than 60% of global cobalt and nickel production, providing exclusive primary-source data that competitors cannot replicate. The platform processes approximately 20 million traceability data points monthly and serves customers across the full battery value chain, including mines, smelters, cathode and battery material producers, EV OEMs, energy storage companies, and recyclers.

The product architecture follows a platform-plus-modules design, comprising the core ReSource Traceability Platform and four integrated modules: Supply Chain Traceability, Proof of Provenance (chain-of-custody), Compliance Due Diligence (EUBR/CSRD/LkSG), and Battery Passports. A specialized Cobalt Supply Chain solution extends functionality for that segment. The system integrates with ERP, MES, and procurement systems and supports role-based data access controls that ensure data is neither aggregated nor monetized across participants. ReSource operates an enterprise field sales motion with quote-based pricing, selling directly to large mining companies, battery manufacturers, and EV OEMs through "Request Demo" CTAs and bespoke implementation engagements, with no self-serve or reseller channel. Revenue is generated via recurring subscriptions; specific pricing and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and the company is financed through partner contributions rather than external venture or private equity funding.

Core offering

ReSource provides a B2B SaaS traceability and ESG compliance platform for critical minerals and battery supply chains. The platform delivers continuous supply chain mapping up to Tier-N, chain-of-custody tracking with multiple custody models, AI-driven compliance and risk analysis, and digital battery passport issuance meeting EU, US, and China regulatory requirements. It connects mines, smelters, cathode/battery material producers, EV OEMs, energy storage companies, and recyclers with a unified ESG data exchange framework.

Product overview

ReSource offers a platform-plus-modules architecture consisting of the core ReSource Traceability Platform with four integrated product modules: Supply Chain Traceability (critical minerals mapping and tracking), Proof of Provenance (chain-of-custody software), Compliance Due Diligence (EUBR/regulatory compliance), and Battery Passports (digital passport issuance). Additionally, the Cobalt Supply Chain provides specialized traceability for cobalt. All modules share a unified data model, integrate with ERP/MES/procurement systems, and feed into the Battery Passport for end-to-end supply chain visibility.
