A coordinated, unified solution to bring visibility & trust to the global supply chain.
End-to-End "Track and Trace"
A fully integrated system across the entire supply chain, from the moment a shipment leaves the production facility, to the final delivery on the customer's doorstep.
Every shipment is federated & validated in trustless, transparent blockchain contracts.
Visibility
Unified solution for asset tracking.
The dream for supply chain: a single platform from shipment to delivery.
Trust
Transparency through immutability.
Crowd-validated, trustless & tamper-proof data storage via the Open Ethereum blockchain.
Control
Ownership of business data/intelligence.
Thanks to secure ShipChain Vaults, business owners have complete control over who & how their data is queried.
Technology
How does it work?
Public validation of protected & private data, via blockchain.
(1) Open
Smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain reconcile shipments through a fair, tamper-proof transaction.
(2) Secure
ShipChain vaults store transport information as encrypted, and owner-controlled data on a sidechain.
Public vs. Private Chains
The word "public" doesnt mean public data.
Parity
Public chains are open-to-anyone, free-to-join marketplace.
Private chains are permissioned—they require an invitation to join.
Security
Public chains validate data by solving a complex, cryptographic problem.
On private chains, the single regulatory authority validates all blocks.
Trust
Only public blockchains are decentralized & offer trustless, transparent data.
Private chains are owned by a singular company & person, and thus not tamper-proof.
Industries
Businesses across industries looking for a unified solution & visibility for global supply chain can benefit from ShipChain.
Pharmaceutical
Major concerns exist over privacy and transparency in pharmaceutical supply chains. Safeguarding medications from exposure in-transit, tampering, or counterfeiting is important to prevent the consumer or even B2B reseller unknowingly putting the health of millions at risk. Blockchain validation grants complete access to product from manufacturing to distribution.
Medical Equipment
Medical equipment carries significant standards for testing, and can easily cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, failure to maintain quality control, authenticity, and traceability at every stage of manufacturing and transportation stage can render it useless. When health care professionals need medical equipment, they do not have time to worry about whether it will work as expected.
Food, Agriculture and Farming
In industries involved in food processing and distribution, traceability is crucial to preventing the spread of food-borne illness, as demonstrated by multiple recalls through 2018. Food processing centers and manufacturers can leverage blockchain to reduce risk of food-borne illness by ensuring products are kept at proper temperatures and not subject to tampering. If an illness is found, blockchain could allow for immediate recall and even automated notification of locations that may have the affected products.
Rental Enterprises
Knowing every stage of rental equipment’s lifespan, including runtime and location, is crucial to businesses that rent temporary-use equipment including vehicles, electronics and more. In addition, certain rental equipment may fall under other categories, like durable medical equipment.
Logistics Service Providers
Knowing where a shipment is located and its time to arrival are key factors in keeping the B2B and B2C operations alive for companies that transport goods around the globe. The application of blockchain for logistics service providers extend to those servicing any type of supply chain.
Retail Stores
Retailers’ successes depend on a reliable, traceable supply chain in any of the aforementioned industries. They may sell medical equipment, foods, pharmaceuticals, clothing and much more. With return rates increasing with the e-commerce revolution, the use of blockchain will increase transparency and accountability for returns management and giving consumers authentic, safe merchandise.
