KPMG has officially launched a blockchain-based track and trace platform in Australia, China, and Japan, dubbed as KPMG Origins.
On Nov. 28, KPMG announced that the platform is designed to increase transparency and traceability of processes in multiple industries across agriculture, manufacturing, and financial services.
Intends To Improve The Supply Chains Processes
KPMG Origins aims to improve the supply chain process by incorporating blockchain and the Internet of Things. Communications can be maintained on product data with the trading partners across the supply chains, thus reducing the whole complexities of the supply chain processes.
The announcement further states that the launch is followed by successful pilot implementations with clients in those countries.
KPMG Origins’ trial participants included:
SunRice, one of Australia’s largest branded food exporters
Canegrowers, a peak body for Australian sugarcane growers
Mitchell Wines a vineyard company
Matt Kealley, senior manager at membership engagement and innovation at Canegrowers commented on KPMG Origins:
“A blockchain solution, such as KPMG Origins, could provide a platform which will enable end-users to capture the sustainability credentials of the product directly from the grower to customer.”
