Once the manufactured goods enter into the supply chain and cross the border, our blockchain provides the required proof of origin and subsequent history as required by the brand owners or even by the customer itself.”[/perfectpullquote]

With many well-known products and entire brands being produced in the country, China has established its position in global manufacturing and trade. Such a significant role comes with issues around transparency and trust within the supply chain, along with challenges in brand protection. The SophiaTX team has developed a number of blockchain-based solutions for companies, bringing desired trust and transparency into complex international relationships and efficiencies into supply chains.
