The short comparison

Oreline

Investigate the rare-earth chain.

A curated dataset of companies, facilities, output and disclosed relationships, with evidence, comparisons, saved investigations and assumption-based scenarios.

Panjiva

Published offering

Panjiva is S&P Global's trade-focused supply-chain intelligence platform. Its public product page describes searching products and classifications, identifying importers and exporters, visualising trade relationships and receiving shipment-related alerts. This is a separate product comparison from S&P Capital IQ Pro's broader financial and mining research.

Does a shipment identify the factory you depend on?

Trade records can reveal counterparties and observed movement. The named exporter, however, is not automatically the producing mine, separator or magnet factory. An importer can be a distributor rather than the final consumer. Those distinctions matter when a sourcing decision depends on physical origin or processing concentration.

For example, repeated shipments from a trading company may support the conclusion that a commercial relationship exists. They do not by themselves establish a receiving factory's input share or a material's complete upstream transformation history. Use shipment evidence to generate and test hypotheses, then seek facility and production disclosures before making a stronger claim.

How the work differs

Oreline lets you inspect researched companies, facilities and documented routes, with commercial agreements retained at company level when the destination site is unknown. Review products and output periods alongside those links. Missing route quantities remain visible instead of becoming an assumed allocation.

Sources, reporting periods and evidence gaps remain visible throughout the investigation. Coverage is reviewed rather than exhaustive or live, and undisclosed quantities stay unknown. Read how the analysis handles them.

Why Oreline for this work

A trading relationship is a lead; a supplier assessment needs the industrial evidence behind it. Oreline gives your team a researched starting point for checking facilities, output and dependencies. Follow a route in the sandbox to see how those distinctions affect a sourcing conclusion.

Pricing and access

Oreline costs $1,000 USD per organisation per month, including 20 individual seats and access to the published research library, curated dataset and investigation tools. See the subscription details.

Panjiva pricing is not quoted here. When comparing costs, account for the required modules, team access, data rights and contract term. Oreline's organisation plan includes the published research and working tools in one subscription.

Oreline’s free sandbox needs no account and contains selected examples. It is a product evaluation, not free access to the full subscription workspace.

What to test before buying

  1. Ask which jurisdictions, transport modes and historical periods are covered.
  2. Check whether the named counterparty is a producer, trader or logistics intermediary.
  3. Require separate evidence before converting a trade relationship into a facility input share.

Frequently asked questions

Does Oreline include the Panjiva database?

Oreline provides its own curated research dataset. A subscription does not include the Panjiva database or a Panjiva integration.

Can trade data prove rare-earth origin?

It can contribute evidence, but a shipment record alone may not identify all upstream extraction and processing steps. The strength of the conclusion depends on the fields and corroborating records available.
