VeChain is another recently launched platform riding the blockchain bandwagon, aiming to revamp the infrastructure supporting supply-chain blockchain management. The platform is used to provide value-chain stakeholders such as manufacturers, partners and buyers the capability of asset navigation by the virtue of digitization.

This ensures greater transparency of movement of the products and services bought and sold, thus benefiting both the manufacturer and the customer.
Vechain’s vision is to enable a secure transaction of products and services along with accelerating product management through a mechanism of consolidated customer review. The platform bundles services such as API Gateway Service, third-party services and also distributed data storage. The creators of the platform have used Ethereum’s robust public API as the source code and merged it additionally with their script. Product IDs are accessed by scanning QR Code, or NFC enabled chips, and are maintained with other details such as material sourcing, service history, manufacturing operations, components and the information of the seller and the owner.
