For suppliers
Sell to export buyers who have already paid in.
With Veraloop by Agave Networks the buyer's money is held before you load, and your payouts are released as each step is confirmed.

Loading for a new buyer first is a gamble.
-
Supplier
You load first and chase the money.
Shipping to a buyer you have never met means loading and hoping. If payment never comes, you are chasing it across borders.
-
Supplier
A new buyer's promise is not bankable.
Export prices are better. But a new buyer's word does not pay your yard or your staff.

Questions
Questions suppliers ask.
Who holds the money?
A licensed escrow partner holds the buyer's money. Veraloop never holds it. It is released in stages, only when each step is confirmed.
When does the supplier get paid?
In stages, as each step is confirmed: on recorded loading, on shipping documents and on delivery. The exact stages are set in your contract.
What if the grade is wrong?
Every grade is checked against the contract before money is released. If there is a dispute after delivery, it is handled under the dispute terms in your contract.
How accurate is the AI grading?
Over 99% accurate in testing for metal type. Grades steel scrap with 93% accuracy. Estimates contamination within about 4 percentage points. Results from testing. Accuracy varies with conditions; every grade is checked against the contract.
What do I need as a supplier?
A phone, a 4G camera at loading (we help you set it up) and export-grade material ready to ship.
Which materials and markets do you cover?
Steel scrap first, such as HMS 1&2. UK yards selling to buyers in India and other markets. More materials and routes follow.
