Stop Reconciling. Start Operating.
The Operational Data Store where every party sees the same truth, controls their own data, and manual reconciliation becomes mathematically impossible. Processing 6M+ invoices annually at production scale.
Trusted by enterprises and governments across Europe
mintBlue turned our nightmare of invoice exchanges into a dream of automation. Now we strive to make taxation less of a headache for everyone involved.

6 million invoices annually validated and processed automatically. No manual reconciliation. No disputes over what was agreed.

The Multi-Party Data Problem
In complex business ecosystems, every party keeps their own database. Same invoice? Five different versions. Same shipment? Three conflicting records. Result: 60% of your team's time spent reconciling instead of operating.
Three-layer architecture eliminates the trade-off between trust and control.
Traditional Approach
- Each party maintains own database
- Manual reconciliation across systems
- 24-hour query times in distributed environments
- Disputes about what actually happened
Operational Data Store
- Every party sees the same truth
- Zero reconciliation required
- Sub-100ms queries across parties
- Cryptographic proof of events
Three-Layer Architecture. Zero Reconciliation.
The technical decisions that eliminate the database vs blockchain trade-off.
01
L1: Ordering Layer (Immutable)
Cryptographic proof of sequence. What happened first? Tamper-proof ordering. Single source of truth for when things happened. Eliminates disputes.
02
L2: Compute Layer (Distributed)
Processes queries across distributed nodes. Hot data cached in Redis. Warm data in distributed storage. 24-hour queries become sub-100ms.
03
L3: Sovereign Storage (Your Control)
Your data stays in your infrastructure. You control access and retention. Export anytime. Zero vendor lock-in. GDPR-compliant data residency guaranteed.
04
Single Reference Architecture
One event, multiple uses. No data duplication across systems. Every party reads from the same source of truth. No reconciliation required.
Multi-Party Invoice Processing
See It in Action
Supplier issues invoice. Buyer, accounting platform, payment processor, tax authority all see the same event. Zero reconciliation.
- 01
Event Recorded
Supplier issues invoice. Event recorded in L1 ordering layer with cryptographic timestamp. Immutable. Ordered. All parties notified simultaneously.
- 02
All Parties See Same Truth
Buyer, supplier, accounting platform, payment processor, tax authority see the same event simultaneously. No delayed sync. No version conflicts.
- 03
Query in Real Time
L2 compute layer processes queries across distributed data. Redis cache for hot data. Sub-100ms response. Any party can query. Every party sees same result.
- 04
Data Stays Sovereign
Each party stores their copy in L3. Their infrastructure, their control. But every copy is cryptographically linked to the same L1 truth.

ODS vs Traditional Approaches
| Capability | Traditional Database | Public Blockchain | mintBlue ODS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multi-party truth | Each party has own DB | Shared ledger | Shared truth, sovereign copies |
| Query performance | Fast (single DB) | Slow (global sync) | Sub-100ms (3-layer cache) |
| Data sovereignty | Vendor-controlled | Public or consortium | You own L3 storage |
| Integration speed | Custom development | Months of work | Days (3,000+ connectors) |
| Tamper-proof audit | Logs can be altered | Immutable | L1 immutable ordering |
| Vendor lock-in | Migration costly | Chain-specific | Export anytime |
Comparisons based on typical enterprise patterns. Actual results vary by implementation.
