Operational Time Machine
Replay any moment in your logistics operation with synchronized map visualization, evidence chain, and timeline controls powered by Certexi's event-sourced architecture.

Replay Any Moment
Traditional logistics software shows you what's happening now. Certexi shows you what happened at any point in time — with full evidence, map position, and verification status synchronized to the second.
This is the Operational Time Machine.
Synchronized Replay
Watch a transport unit's complete journey from customs entry to exit clearance. The map, evidence panel, and timeline are perfectly synchronized.

How It Works
Every event in the system carries a cryptographic timestamp. The Time Machine replays these events in order, rebuilding the exact state that existed at any given second.
Evidence Accumulation
As a transport unit moves through workflow stages, evidence accumulates — scans, photos, documents, scale readings, CCTV clips, and seal verifications. Each piece is cryptographically linked to the previous.
8-item evidence chain — watch each piece appear as it was captured during the journey.
Evidence items are tamper-evident: modifying any single item breaks the hash chain, making unauthorized changes instantly detectable.
Architecture: Event Sourcing
The key insight: state is never stored, only derived. To see what your warehouse looked like at 3:47 AM last Tuesday, the system replays all events up to that timestamp. No snapshots, no stale caches — just truth.
Time Machine vs. Traditional Logging
| Capability | Traditional Logs | Certexi Time Machine |
|---|---|---|
| View current state | Yes | Yes |
| View historical state | Manual log parsing | Instant replay |
| Evidence linkage | Separate systems | Unified chain |
| Tamper detection | None | Cryptographic proofs |
| Offline operation | No | Full offline replay |
| Audit compliance | Manual export | Built-in ISO audit trail |
| Map visualization | No | Synchronized geo view |
| Granularity | Per-transaction | Per-second |
Use Cases
Dispute Resolution
A customs broker claims goods were damaged before arrival. Replay the exact moment of loading — see the photo evidence, scale reading, and CCTV snapshot all synchronized.
Compliance Auditing
ISO auditors ask for proof of process. Instead of assembling documents manually, generate a Time Machine replay of any transport unit's complete lifecycle.
Anomaly Investigation
An ML model flags suspicious weight variance. Jump to that exact moment, see what was happening on the map, review the evidence chain, and verify the cryptographic proofs.
Training & Onboarding
New operators learn by replaying real (or simulated) operations. They see exactly how experienced operators handle each workflow stage.
Zero Infrastructure
The Time Machine is a client-side computation — it replays events stored in the browser's IndexedDB. No server round-trips, no API calls, works completely offline.
