Bottom line
Altana is a network for trusted trade built on an AI-powered supply chain graph covering roughly 50% of global trade and 600M+ companies. Enterprises, logistics providers and agencies use it to map multi-tier value chains, classify products, qualify FTAs, simulate tariffs and pre-validate customs clearance via Product Passports. It replaces spreadsheet-and-email scrambles with one agent-assisted workflow and uses federated learning so participants share insight without sharing sensitive data. Pricing is unpublished; deals are demo-led enterprise contracts.
Frequently asked questions
What does Altana actually do?
Altana runs an AI-powered network for trusted trade. It combines a supply chain graph (the vendor says it covers roughly 50% of global trade and 600M+ companies) with workflows for N-tier value-chain mapping, product classification, origin determination, FTA qualification, duty calculation, tariff and disruption simulation, and customs pre-validation through shareable Product Passports. Users span enterprises, logistics providers and government agencies; the same data model supports enforcement screening and public-private collaboration.
How quickly can we get value from Altana?
No implementation timeline is published on the pages reviewed. Deployments are enterprise-grade and depend on loading existing product data and internal supplier records, so plan for an integration project rather than self-serve onboarding. The product catalog is designed to be jump-started from data you already know, with AI suggesting hidden upstream connections for your team to verify.
How is Altana priced?
Pricing is not published. Access runs through a demo request, so expect a negotiated enterprise contract rather than published self-serve tiers or a free plan. Treat any specific cost figure as unknown until Altana quotes one for your scope.
Is Altana secure enough for regulated and government work?
Altana states on its site that it operates in sensitive intelligence and government environments and lists certifications and attestations including FedRAMP High, IC C2E, ISO/IEC 27001, AICPA SOC 2, IRAP, ACSC Essential Eight and Cyber Essentials, and says it is in process for Department of War IL 5. It also describes a federated model in which participants retain control of their own data. Confirm current scope with the vendor's trust center.
Does Altana train on our data, and can we choose the model?
The vendor pages reviewed do not state whether customers may bring their own model keys, nor give an opt-in or opt-out training policy. Altana says participants retain control of their own data and that a federated data model aggregates insights while keeping sensitive data and IP secure, while also saying supply chain intelligence generated on the network trains its AI. Treat model choice and data-training terms as items to confirm in contracting.
