Asset Tracking

Blockchain Lab

The Use Case

The tracking of assets is a major issue for some financial services companies as there is currently no digital system to track goods such as fine artworks or aeroplane parts.

Given a blockchain's ability to provide an immutable history of all transactions relating to an asset, the potential to track assets on a blockchain is apparent. A simple ledger could be utilised by key stakeholders such as insurance companies, asset managers and buyers.

How It Could Work

Laura's art dealership are keen to close the sale of a painting. The dealerships insurer is hesitant to insure the painting, as key are unsure about its origins. This delay in sale is costing Laura.

A blockchain solution would expediate the process for both Laura and her insurers. As the blockchain is immediate, immutable and provides a full record of client events, this would be a significant improvement over the current, paper-based system.

  • mapping out the revised architecture and process flows brought about by the blockchain paradigm
  • selecting and deploying existing API’s and libraries
  • developing bespoke software where no solutions exist
  • seamlessly bring the blockchain into the system
  • educate stakeholders on the migration

Blockchain Lab provides a services layer and a RESTful API for interacting with the blockchain. We also run a highly sophisticated testing harness to assist you in rapid integration or development of new subsystems.
