CITES-compliant sea cucumber quota trading because the $2B trepang market deserves actual software
TrepangXchange is the only platform purpose-built for the global sea cucumber trade — handling CITES Appendix II permit workflows, national quota allocation tracking, and B2B buyer-seller matching across 40+ harvesting nations. Customs brokers validate full shipment documentation chains in seconds instead of digging through fax confirmations and WhatsApp threads. The trepang industry runs on spreadsheets and vibes right now, and that ends today.

- Real-time quota burn-rate dashboards across 47 national fisheries authorities with sub-minute refresh
- Native integration with the TRAFFIC wildlife trade monitoring network for compliance cross-referencing
- Automated HS code classification engine for all 35 commercially traded Holothuroidea species
- Buyer-seller matching with escrow holdback tied to document chain completion. No paper, no problem.

TrepangXchange is built as a set of domain-isolated microservices — permit workflows, quota ledgering, and shipment validation each run independently behind an internal gRPC mesh. MongoDB handles the core transaction ledger because the document model maps cleanly onto permit hierarchies and I'm not going to apologize for it. Redis stores the full historical quota audit trail per nation-species pair, which keeps queries fast and the regulators happy. The frontend is a lean React SPA hitting versioned REST endpoints; the whole thing deploys to a single hardened VPS and has never gone down.
