Here is what Jeremey has to stay about Vanig –

“Vanig is currently building a solution to these (and much more) problems. The solution is built on the blockchain, which is a perfect use-case and marries the best aspects of the blockchain with the biggest issues in supply-chain. The problems of multiple intermediaries, high fees, low visibility and lack of tracking is tackled by a scalable proprietary blockchain solution.

By harnessing cutting-edge technology which was non-existent in 2008, I believe 2018 to be the year where supply-chain management gets disrupted by Vanig, leading to a more level-playing field among brands and marketplaces.”
