An emerging development technology corporation and master
licensor of Hyperledger blockchain-based systems, Pacific Software, Inc. (OTC:
PFSF) is currently working on a proprietary e-commerce trade platform targeting
both the business-to-business and business-to-consumer sectors. The platform,
set to launch in November of this year, will initially focus on the
agricultural supply chain between China and Brazil, which primarily facilitates
beef trade between the two countries, and integrating with international
distribution channels (http://ibn.fm/NTjEo).
By integrating the company’s Agri-Blockchain technology, the
platform will offer increased transparency and trust regarding origin, quality
and safety of products in the supply chain. This will also help speed up
removal of contaminated food, making it easier to trace the source of
contamination, thus reducing costs exponentially. Using IBM’s Hyperledger
Blockchain “Backend as a Service” infrastructure, Pacific Software’s platform
will be able to store, record and track digital product information from farm
to fare, including batch identification numbers, expiration dates, factory and
processing information, shipping details and more.
To further enhance transparency of supply chains, Pacific
Software is working on integrating Internet of Things capabilities into the
platform – more specifically the ability to incorporate data from
Internet-connected devices such as RFID or barcode readers. By linking to the
Internet of Things, the platform will be able to gather valuable product data
and make complex supply chains more manageable and overall safer.
The blockchain-platform could be used successfully to track
supply chains in any field of agriculture, as a growing number of agricultural
sectors are already beginning to consider the benefits of blockchain
applications for enhanced transparency and increased customer trust. The U.S.
Dairy Farmers of America, a farmer-owned cooperative with more than 14,500
members, announced recently (http://ibn.fm/cQwZw)
that it would be using a blockchain platform to track milk products so as to
give “consumers real-time data, which can really help increase trust and
confidence about food production from start to finish.”
Pacific Software’s multilingual platform is developed by
Cobalt 47 Technologies Ltd., a spin-off of leading Chinese Microsoft
distributor KBQuest Group, Inc., under an agreement signed in August of this
year. While the primary focus remains trade and supply chains between Brazil
and China, the technology could have a much wider application in industries
where effective product tracking methods and supply chain management are
required, such as the cannabis market – to improve seed-to-sale supply chain
traceability and management – and opioid/controlled substance management – to
create a verifiable and trusted ledger between manufacturers and consumers.
With the drug supply chain in particular, the Pacific
Software platform could prove to be a valuable tool in combating the current
opioid epidemic, which is estimated to have cost the U.S. more than a trillion
dollars since 2001 (http://ibn.fm/m2OWH).
The Hyperledger blockchain system would allow for better bookkeeping, which
would help track drugs from production to final use, helping identify pill
mills that overprescribe painkillers or cases of double doctoring where
patients take out prescription from different doctors.
Pacific Software is already considering the potential impact
of blockchain technology in this field by assessing how its platform could help
struggling African countries deal with counterfeit drugs and medications. The
issue was discussed during a recent meeting between company officials and representatives
of the African Chamber of Commerce focused on building a partnership for trade.
