CHALLENGES
3
Siloed System
The supply-chain systems used by partners are siloed, and
getting all partners to agree on the actual state of the asset
is difficult
Complex Tracking
As the assets move from manufacturing to deployment and
eventually disposal, tracking the movement of these items is
complex across multiple systems
Delayed Resolutions
Resolving issues among partners is costly and creates delays,
impacting customer satisfaction due to delayed service and
revenue recognition
Usage Monitoring
Identifying non-compliance of assets usage and associated
software is cumbersome

BLOCKCHAIN LEDGER
Blockchain acts as a single source of truth for an asset,
tracking every change, so it is auditable, and transparent.
PERMISSIONED
The participating organizations are known and permissioned
onto the blockchain network.
DATA PRIVACY
Authorized network members only see the details of their
transactions which provides confidentiality and privacy.
PROOF-OF-EXISTENCE
Proof received for transactions and events of the asset
are digitally hashed and recorded.
EVENT DRIVEN
The blockchain subscribes to external transactions and events
via a client interface.
SMART CONTRACTS
Business rules governing the asset specifications and
agreements are maintained on the blockchain.
