What does your next
transaction need?

Availability depends on the transaction, jurisdictions, counterparties and assets involved.

WOLF DIGITAL

A closer view of your transaction.

A payment may depend on a document, an approval or a condition agreed weeks earlier.

WOLF DIGITAL keeps those details connected to the transaction, so you can follow its progress without piecing the story together from separate updates.

We develop the platform in-house. It brings the agreed terms, supporting documents and approvals into one workspace, making it easier to see what is complete and what needs attention.

A transaction in practice

When payment
depends on inspection.

A buyer agrees to purchase a shipment of industrial materials. Part of the payment is due once an inspection confirms the agreed specification.

  1. 01Terms

    A marine terminal with storage tanks and a loading jetty

    The commercial terms come first.

    Specification, quantity, delivery point and the payment structure are agreed between buyer and seller. We work through those requirements with you, and the escrow terms are written against them.

  2. 02Condition

    A loaded carrier held under escort by tugs

    The escrow terms define the evidence required.

    The parties agree what has to be shown before the balance is released, and who has to approve it. Here that is an inspection confirming the agreed specification.

  3. 03Evidence

    Release conditionExample transaction

    1. ConditionInspection confirms the agreed specificationWritten into the escrow terms
    2. EvidenceIndependent inspection reportAttached to the condition it answers
    3. ApprovalBuyer and supplier on recordEach approval kept against the transaction
    4. ReleaseCarried out by the escrow providerUnder the escrow agreement, not by the platform

    The condition, the document and the approval stay together.

    WOLF DIGITAL keeps the inspection report against the condition it answers, with the approvals it still needs, so everyone is reading the same transaction. Meanwhile the team coordinates the outstanding steps.

  4. 04Release

    A road crossing a frozen expanse

    Funds are released once the requirements are met.

    Release follows the escrow agreement, carried out by the provider of that service. The process and the responsibilities are defined for each transaction.

Working with us

You can come to us before everything is agreed.

You may have identified a supplier but still need to work out the payment terms. Or you may have a contract in place and need help coordinating settlement.

We start by understanding what you are trying to achieve. Your dedicated point of contact helps clarify the requirements, coordinate documentation and follow up on the steps that need attention. As the transaction develops, you have someone to speak with who knows its background.
