Transaction-NetworkBuilt in Europe.
Battle-tested.
Now meeting US precision
manufacturers at IMTS 2026.
Supply chain transparency, audit-ready compliance, and process control for the reshoring era — without another vendor platform locking you in.
Why This Matters in 2026
The reshoring moment is here.
The data infrastructure isn't.
US precision manufacturers are moving fast. But three structural problems are breaking supply chain decision-making at exactly the wrong moment.
Tariffs & Reshoring
US precision manufacturers are bringing production back faster than ever. But fragmented supplier data is breaking decision-making at exactly the wrong moment. You can't move fast without knowing where your parts actually come from.
Compliance Pressure
Export controls, USMCA reviews, sanctions audits. The cost of not knowing where your parts come from is rising every quarter. One missed origin declaration can shut down a shipment — or worse.
The Skills Squeeze
Your best people shouldn't spend their days chasing PDFs across email chains and ERP exports. The talent shortage is real. Every hour spent on manual data work is an hour not spent on production.
The result: decisions get made on incomplete data, compliance gaps go undetected, and the people who should be driving growth are stuck managing spreadsheets.

No lock-in.
Transaction-Network is a manufacturer-neutral platform that connects OEMs, suppliers, and producers around shared supply chain data — without forcing anyone onto someone else's proprietary system.
