With the New Year around the corner, the team at SyncFab wanted to share with you some of the exciting developments underway and give you a sneak peek of our upcoming 3.0 DApp (decentralized application).

Hyperledger Update

An important milestone of the internal Hyperledger project has been achieved. SyncFab’s permissioned Blockchain network has been successfully set up in a Testnet and we are currently working on the chain code implementation and the integration of the network with our client applications. This is a major part of the project as we estimate our Mainnet could be up and running early Q1 2019. We will start by tracking the parts’ lifecycle from order to delivery and slowly move into tracking additional business assets on our blockchain.

Dapp 3.0 Teaser

There is a big change coming to our platform. We have a brand new styleguide and a new dark-themed user interface.

“With our v3 DApp buildout our product team has decided to incorporate Google Material Design components and principles as an effort to establish a new standard of blockchain usability” said Dennis Delgado, Chief Design Officer of SyncFab.

The new design will accompany our improved processes. We are introducing a simpler and quicker way for users to submit RFQs (requests for quotes). Users simply upload their drawings and PO’s (purchase orders), and our system does the rest. Drawings are automatically matched with existing drawings from the user’s Parts Library or the system creates new parts, updating the Library.

RFQ Submission Process

Our RFQ and PO lists also got a facelift. Users can quickly manage and monitor the progress of their PO’s from the redesigned list view. MFG Tokens will be able to be applied to RFQs by buyers to incentivize more manufacturing suppliers to quote jobs.

Revamp of our internal operations tool

SyncFab’s Procurement Managers make sure that every RFQ is vetted and that every PO stays unblocked, expediting the production and delivery of the manufactured parts. In order to increase our internal operational efficiency and minimize data discrepancies, we are improving the capabilities and user interface of our internal platform and we’re developing digital checklists to ensure a seamless experience for our users.

We’re excited to share this update with you to showcase our commitment to product development and can’t wait to show you what’s next in 2019. Until then, Happy Holidays and Have a Wonderful New Year, from our family to yours!
