No single register of vetted suppliers
Finding one new producer in Algeria or Morocco means calls in three languages, references from acquaintances and no way to compare terms side by side
21 working days per supplierWholesale halal trade,
from the Maghreb to Spain,
in one interface
A vetted supplier, a certificate confirmed against the issuing registry, settlement protected until delivery and an arrival date you can plan around. The channel that runs today on telephone calls and bank paperwork becomes a single transaction
0Muslim residents in Spain, near 5.2% of the population
0Spanish halal food market, growing with retail demand
0Working days from sourcing brief to confirmed order
0Supply corridors: Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey
Thirty billion euros of trade, moved by telephone
Spain trades more than EUR 22.5 billion a year with Morocco and around EUR 8.5 billion with Algeria. Behind those numbers, halal procurement is still assembled by hand: suppliers found through acquaintances, certificates checked by email, payments held up by exchange controls nobody explains in advance
Certificates checked by hand, or not at all
Each issuing body keeps its own register in its own format. A separate enquiry goes to the certifier and the answer comes back days later, if it comes at all
3 to 5 days per enquiryPayment blocked by exchange controls
The dinar is not convertible and domiciliation is mandatory. General purpose payment providers do not serve the corridor at all, so the cycle stretches across weeks
3% to 6% in transfer costImport restrictions discovered too late
Whether a given category from a given country may enter the EU is governed by Commission lists that importers rarely check before shipment, and the answer arrives at the border
Consignment refused at entryNo status between two warehouses
Once a consignment leaves the producer it disappears. Customs delays surface after the fact, when demurrage is already running at the port
EUR 500 to 2,000 per delayThe first transaction carries the whole risk
A new counterparty asks for prepayment and offers no protection. Buyers respond by staying with intermediaries who take 20% to 35% of the margin
Margin lost to brokersThe same order, measured twice
Every stage below is real work someone performs today. The platform does not make the sea crossing faster, it removes the manual steps that surround it
Inside the platform
Four modules on one transaction core. Move through the tabs to see how a buyer in Barcelona sources, verifies, pays and tracks a consignment leaving a warehouse in Oran

Interface preview · illustrative data
Four modules, each of which stands alone
The modules are linked through the state of an order rather than to one another. A module that is not yet connected leaves a manual step for the operator, it never blocks the transaction
Market
The wholesale B2B marketplace
Producers publish range, prices and terms. Buyers filter by category, origin, certificate and minimum lot, then place an order without an interpreter and without a broker in the middle
- Seven product groups aligned with EU import rules
- Interface in Spanish, French, Arabic and English
- Joint orders that meet a producer's minimum lot
Verify
The HalalCert verification centre
Scan the code or enter the reference and see within seconds whether the certificate is valid, who issued it, until when, and whether its scope actually covers the goods on the order
- Records from independent registers reconciled into one view
- Scope of the certificate matched to the order lines
- Admissibility for import into the EU checked before shipment
Pay
Protected settlement across four regimes
Funds are held by a licensed payment partner until delivery is confirmed. The route to the producer is selected by the currency regime of the origin country, because exchange controls cannot be routed around
- Escrow through a licensed payment institution
- Settlement in EUR, MAD and TRY
- Early payment for the producer against the confirmed order
Track
Warehouse to warehouse visibility
Status from freight visibility platforms and carrier feeds, temperature logs, an arrival time that allows for customs, and a documentary pack checked for completeness before the consignment leaves
- Source of every status entry visible to the buyer
- Customs documents pre-populated for the registered representative
- Alerts by Telegram, WhatsApp and email
One corridor is not like another
A platform that promises a single settlement time for every origin meets exchange controls on its first transaction in the Maghreb. Each route is built for the regime it actually operates under
OriginCurrency regimeSettlement with the producerTime
Escrow and settlement on the European side are handled in EUR by a licensed payment partner. Where a currency is not convertible, the leg into the producer's account is executed by an authorised local bank under a domiciled contract, and the platform coordinates the two legs rather than executing them
