As an early adopter, do we need to invest in the Blockchain technology and its infrastructure? Implementation of Fasicuchain solution needs minimal capital investment. Businesses need to only invest in one smart camera per production/filling line that activate/read 2D codes costing just few thousand dollars.

How much time would it take to implement the solution? We have 3 levels of Solution. A-Authenticity, V -Visibility, I- Interactivity. A complete AVI solution takes 16-20 weeks to implement. A simpler solution can be implemented in a shorter period.

How will our partners in the supply chain adopt the solution- what will be their incentive to change? Partners like Transporters, Warehouses, distributors etc. will play a very critical role in implementing the solution. They will act as a node in the blockchain with a minimal investment in Computer Hardware and connectivity. It will drive a lot of efficiencies for each one of them as it is also brings very accurate visibility to stock through our the supply chain, improves back office processes including across their principal or customers. In several industry use cases, it can bring much better handling of trade promotions with the brand having comfort of good deployment of their sales & marketing investments. Opinion leaders (many may be part of the distribution chain eg mechanics in automotive industry) can have a more direct connect with the brand. Finally It is an opportunity for them to be part of a new technology and elevate their standing in the industry.

Can you give examples of Global companies adopting these type of solution? Global giants like Walmart, Carrefour, Maersk, Dubai Ports, Kuehne Nagel, J P Morgan (along with 55 other banks), HSBC, Dubai Govt, Singapore Govt among many others are implementing blockchain at this point.

Can I add Fasicuchain to my current traceability system? If so, how and how difficult will it be to do so? Yes, Fasicuchain can be added to current traceability systems. It can almost be thought of as an encryption protocol with a networked component.

Will Fasicuchain help my internal operations, or is it only for external/ supply chain traceability? Can Fasicuchain scale to meet the traceability needs of a broad supply chain network? Fasicuchain can help internal operations by having a sustained chained record of tracking events of your supply chain. Internal links can be logged into our database, Fasicuchain solution is designed to be scaled to meet the needs of a broad supply chain network.

Does transparency mean everyone can see my data? How does Fasicuchain protect proprietary information? Transparency is the corner stone of a distributed ledger system. The philosophy of many blockchain innovators is to have as much transparency as possible, which may not be among the goals for a specific supply chain. Therefore, to control and manage access Fasicuchain protects certain data with “smart contracts”.

Can we use Fasicuchian solution to incentivize our customers as we as a brand do not yet have a loyalty program? As explained in the earlier answer, brands that do not have loyalty program, Fasicuchain token or F-Coin based loyalty program could be an easy way to start a loyalty program.

Will Fasicuchain support us post implementation? Yes, Fasicuchain will be happy to support businesses after implementation for tech developments, troubleshooting, solving business problems etc.
