The Need for Blockchain

While you may associate blockchain with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies are just one example of blockchain application. Blockchain is literally just a chain of blocks where each block contains digital information and every block in a blockchain is based on the data stored in a previous block. This means that blockchain data cannot be altered. It is possible to store data such as physical assets, purchases, ownership status, transactions, supply chain, warranties among others.

Seamless can help you apply blockchain technology in different verticals within your organization. In supply chain management, we can help you track the origin, quantity and movement of goods, simplify transfers, and increase transparency and efficiency. Your accounting department may find it handy, as it can safeguard data from tampering, increase efficiency, and follow a highly traceable audit trail. Blockchain can be utilized for smart contracts, as they can automatically validate, sign and enforce contracts – a time and money-saving process that could eliminate the need for a mediator.

Benefits of Blockchain

  • Enhanced efficiency

    Blockchain removes the need for intermediaries and that is one of the biggest reasons to adopt this technology, which not only reduces costs but also renders the whole process faster.

  • Blockchain technology has been proven to be safer than traditional payments. Each party banking on blockchain can access the entire database and its complete history. Your company is entitled to verification of records of your transaction partners directly; it doesn’t need any intermediary.

  • Within your supply chain, you can trace where goods are residing at any moment. Such important information about the goods can be relayed from or to the new owner for any action.

  • The system offers every detail to all the parties involved which leads to transparency and commercial trust between you and your partners. This leads to a healthier and stronger relationship between you and your customers.

  • When you involve a third party for your payments, it involves fees which lessen your profits. Blockchain eliminates the needs for a third party, reduces third party risks and saves money. You don’t need to bank on intermediaries like brokers, lawyers, and bankers.

  • There is a record of each and every transaction conducted on blockchain which is done sequentially and indefinitely, which extends an indelible audit trail for the life of an asset between you and your customers.

  • If any irregularity is found or detected anywhere along the chain, the system can take you to its origin point. This makes it easy for you to conduct investigations and take the actions required.
