The SyncFab development team is hard at work to achieve our upcoming Q3 objective to format buyer blockchain smart contracts. As of September 5, 2018, here’s where we’re at:

MFG integration as a payment type had been rolled out to a limited number of users for QA testing and to gauge feedback. That release made at the end of Q2 relies on users to send MFG as payment from an external wallet. In our upcoming release at the end of Q3, a new MFG wallet will be integrated into the SyncFab Manufacturing Platform to avoid the need for external wallets. As the wallets come online, and enhancements are made from ongoing feedback from users in our QA process, we will roll out the MFG Wallet and payment type to our entire user base.

The creation of a token reward system is underway. We are finalizing systems based on in the field feedback from suppliers and buyers. As part of this feature set, we will be creating a system for rewarding users with MFGs when certain achievements are reached. This system will be ready to integrate into the platform at the end of Q3.

Shipping and logistics API integration is almost complete allowing the ability for users to select from a variety of shipping carriers to ship their finished parts. In addition, we will continue to research new partnerships that will further enhance the experience and expand carriers.

Ongoing Quality Assurance: Progress is coming along steadily and well. Feedback from user testing has resulted in the identification and patching of bugs as we continue to prep the release for a full roll out to all users. This is an ongoing process of continual improvement.

Blockchain / Smart Contracts: Planning and scoping of the the smart contract buildout is underway and inclusion is on schedule according to our milestone roadmap.

The architecture upgrade of our platform was completed and has allowed our developers to develop faster and deploy in a safer environment.
