Blockchain Provenance & Traceability Challenges

Data Quality Challenge: Ensure Premium Inputs.

In a blockchain, confirmed data acquires an unalterable status. Persistent storage of subpar input data may lead to misidentification of product origins or erroneous resolution of product quality/ownership disputes.

Solution

AI-powered blockchain ensures data integrity by intelligently reconciling data for precision and detecting potential fraud. It identifies dubious transactions, preventing their integration within the system, thereby maintaining a secure and transparent network.

Data Upload Task: Uninterrupted Supply Chain Updates

To ensure an unbroken record of product origin, location, and environmental conditions throughout its lifecycle, a blockchain-based system must relentlessly gather all pertinent supply chain data. This comprehensive history is crucial for real-time tracking. The solution should effortlessly link with various software systems used by multiple network participants, including legacy tools, to ensure seamless integration.

Solution

Blockchain solutions facilitated by well-structured APIs foster rapid and seamless connectivity to numerous data sources, such as back-office systems or sensors (for instance, monitoring temperature-sensitive food products or pharmaceuticals). Nonetheless, these APIs have restricted compatibility when blockchain interacts with legacy software. In such scenarios, custom integrations might be necessary for the blockchain solution.

Sample architecture

In a blockchain-based system for authenticity and tracking, validated and ciphered data and transactions are sequentially stored in time-stamped blocks, creating an unalterable, distributed database collectively maintained by authorized parties. This shared ledger functions as the authoritative reference to authenticate asset origin and inventory status. Network participants engage with this decentralized system to execute transactions and monitor data via role-specific web interfaces.

Blockchain-Based Provenance & Traceability Explained

Blockchain traceability emerges as a preferred method for verifying asset origins and authenticity within supply chains. By facilitating swift verification of product lineage, it expedites claims settlement, minimizes fraud detection errors, and efficiently combats counterfeit goods. Blockchain technology ensures comprehensive transparency over asset-associated data and transactions. It allows swift tracing of product origins within seconds instead of days, providing an added layer of security for confidential business details. Projected at $17.57 billion, the worldwide blockchain market is projected to surge to $825.93 billion, growing annually at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 52.8%. This expansion is primarily fueled by the escalating requirement for efficient tracking of inventory and asset origins, as well as end-to-end traceability of goods-related transactions across multiple industries, such as food manufacturing, fashion retail, healthcare, and real estate. Specialized blockchain solutions are increasingly recognized for their potential to enhance transparency and streamline operations in these sectors.

Blockchain Cost Analysis for Provenance & Traceability Solutions

The cost of blockchain development varies greatly depending on:

  • Type of blockchain network (Private, Public, Consortium, Hybrid)
  • Consensus mechanisms: Proof-of-Work (PoW), Proof-of-Stake (PoS), Selective Endorsement
  • Solution complexity and modularity, encompassing smart contracts in count and intricacy
  • Blockchain solution interacts seamlessly with diverse application types, catering to distinct user segments such as suppliers, end consumers, and Logistics Service Providers
  • Volume required for data migration from spreadsheets or current SCM software
  • Software integrations, specifically ERP, accounting systems, and selling platforms, often involve a substantial amount and intricacy
  • Application demands: availability, performance, and security standards must be met.
  • Enhances cross-blockchain functionality
  • Development timeline for PoC, MVP, or full-scale blockchain solutions is contingent on project scope

Based on Sfinitor's findings, the estimated development cost for a minimum viable product (MVP) of blockchain-based provenance and traceability software ranges from $80,000 to $150,000. Constructing a comprehensive blockchain solution incorporating a private network and smart contracts necessitates an investment of approximately $400,000 to over $1.5 million.
