Built For:
  • State Governments & Economic Planning Teams
  • Revenue Boards, Tax Authorities & MDAs
  • Development Finance Institutions & Donors

FAQ

Government & Policy Data Hub – Frequently Asked Questions

Answers for governments, agencies, investors and development partners who want to leverage TradEdge as a data backbone.

No. The Data Hub is a core component of the wider TradEdge ecosystem. It aggregates and structures data coming from digital identity, wallets, market access, field agents and other services into a single analytics and policy layer for governments and partners.

Yes. Each deployment is configured for the specific state, region or program – including data fields, user roles, KPIs, dashboards, and integrations with existing systems (revenue, social register, etc.).

Data is captured and verified through trained field agents, associations, and digital channels. Validation rules, de-duplication checks and periodic reviews help maintain accuracy over time.

TradEdge is built with NDPR principles in mind – including consent management, purpose limitation, data minimisation, secure storage and clear data processing agreements. Only authorised users see data relevant to their role.

Timelines depend on scope and integrations required. However, a phased deployment approach can see a pilot environment live in weeks, with full scale-up and onboarding continuing over subsequent months.
