The problem
Supply chains don’t talk to each other.
Every organization in the supply chain verifies the shipment on its own. Someone reads the paperwork, retypes it, and passes it on.

About Neoflow
What is Neoflow?
Neoflow helps oil and gas companies prove origin, custody, and compliance using verifiable credentials built for modern customs and supply-chain workflows.
What is Neoflow?
Neoflow is digital infrastructure built for the energy industry. We enable oil and natural gas companies to generate verifiable credentials for every shipment, documenting origin, custody, and compliance across the entire cross-border journey.
Cross-border oil and gas movements still depend on fragmented documentation, manual reconciliation, and post-entry audit risk. Neoflow creates a trusted digital record of origin, custody, and compliance for every shipment.
How we got here
Our platform was developed and tested through multi-year work with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through the SVIP program, in close collaboration with leading energy industry partners who helped pilot and validate it in real-world operations.
Our mission
Our mission is to simplify trade, eliminate unnecessary costs, and unlock efficiency for the North American oil and natural gas industry — bringing modern, standards-based traceability to one of the world's most critical energy supply chains.
Built on open standards including W3C Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) for interoperability and long-term portability.
What is the NCAP?
The National Customs Automation Program (NCAP) was established under the U.S. Customs Modernization Act of 1993 as part of the modernization of U.S. customs processing and trade compliance systems. Within CBP, the NCAP is the legal and operational framework used to conduct pilot programs and trade initiatives, modernize import/export processing, test new data-sharing and supply-chain traceability capabilities, improve cargo security and trade compliance, and support single-window electronic trade filing through ACE.

Crude oil import compliance is moving from paper to digital.
The National Customs Automation Program (NCAP), developed through multi-year work with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection through the SVIP program — and in close collaboration with the energy industry — replaces five years of audit exposure and manual paperwork with verifiable digital traceability.
| Area | Legacy · Paper-based, 5 years of audit exposure | With Neoflow · Verifiable digital traceability |
|---|---|---|
| Documentation | Fragmented USMCA documentationObtaining acceptable supporting documents to claim USMCA can be difficult. | Generate digital support for USMCA claimsDigital traceability from consolidation hubs using Neoflow verifiable credentials and certification of origin. |
| Audit exposure | 5 years of audit riskUSMCA claims are subject to U.S. CBP verification audits for five years. | Reduce routine audit exposureDesigned to support earlier, more reliable verification. |
| Tariffs | Tariff volatilityExposure to extreme tariff volatility and financial risk. | Reduce tariff-related uncertaintyEliminate financial reporting uncertainty. |
| Process | Manual entry processesImporter entries are manual and near paper-based. | Own your traceabilityEliminate reliance on producers. |
| Sourcing | Constrained crude slateLimited to purchasing oil from producers willing to provide a certificate of origin and supporting documentation if required. | Expand & optimize crude slatePurchase crude oil regardless of certificate of origin availability. |
From July 2nd, 2026, under the NCAP with Neoflow, proof of origin with digital traceability from consolidation hubs.

The vision
Picture every supply chain working this way.
A delay upstream, and downstream already knows.Systems answer each other.Plans adjust on their own.
Compliance
Stay compliant with U.S. Customs. Reduce audit exposure.
Importers on Neoflow can file hundreds of batches with the click of a button. Every batch is matched to its delivery ticket and CBP entry, so the evidence is ready before an auditor asks.
Rather than manually reviewing every delivery ticket, Marathon now focuses its efforts on the small number of tickets flagged by the OCR technology for potential anomalies or data uncertainties.
This provides better visibility into the data and allows us to confirm that each batch has a corresponding delivery ticket and CBP entry. These capabilities support improved data validation and traceability.
