The Blockverify technology can be used for different products in order to track the diversion of goods and fraudulent transaction.[4]
BlockVerify technology
editAccording to the company founders, manufacturers lose billions of dollars as high-value products such as medicine, luxury items, diamonds, electronics, music, and software are counterfeited.[5] Security companies use various technologies to address this issue in the block chain. Blockverify addresses this problem through its supply chain management solution based on blockchain by preventing duplicate appearances.[6] The company uses its own private blockchain in its recording procedures but is also capable of using other blockchains such as Bitcoin.[5] Through a decentralized platform, its technologies can be seamlessly integrated with existing supply chain processes.[7]
Example applications include the capability of the company to enable its users to verify the authenticity of medications by scanning QR codes.[8] Blockverify – through this capability - helps combat the international trade of counterfeit drugs, which cost more than $200 billion annually.[2]
To track items along the chain, the company developed its own Block Verify tags.[9] Blockverify uses this proprietary technology to tag products in order to link physical assets to the blockchain. A manufacturer can enter its product in the blockchain as an asset. An asset added to the blockchain is assigned a unique hash. Those who has the hash can access the blockchain and verify if the product is a counterfeit or valid.[5] Such verification may be done using a mobile phone, allowing the large-scale verification of goods and at the point of delivery.[2] The identity attributed to products in the blockchain are made accessible to everyone.[10] Manufacturers can monitor the flow of their products through the Blockverify platform. These highlights BlockVerify's contribution as a blockchain technology since its services introduce transparency to supply chains.[11]
Blockverify's system is capable of tracking products, determining if they have been diverted from their original destination or were stolen.[2] It has also developed technology that allows the verification of ownership. Product ownership becomes an issue as products ownership changes, which can be tracked through Blockverify's technology. Such technology also prevents fraudulent activities such as the duplication of records and making unauthorized changes.[5]
Blockverify generates revenue via a subscription-based model while prices of offered technologies are determined by the volume of products tracked and the complexity of the supply chain.[7]
