Dit hebben ze allemaal gebouwd in 48 uur.
Topics die niet eens voor kwamen in de andere "finalists".
Sterker nog, deze hebben enkel concepten gehad (Over the top). Ze hadden zelf nog niets.
DHL had grote interesse in SEAL, omdat SEAL het zelfs de dag erna zou kunnen inzetten. Adidas heeft met grote belangstelling gekeken naar wat ze te bieden hadden. Al hebben ze niet alles gewonnen, er zijn weer veel connecties aangegaan, nu is focus hierop en distributie. Game one.
Aanvullend vanuit CEO wat ze precies gedaan hebben:
Seal creates Self Sovereign Digital Twins as well as a parcel for secure shipments called Rootbox.
Each product is embedded with a dynamic NFC chip that cannot be duplicated itself, and is registered on the blockchain. This creates a digital version of a physical product, and puts the rights holder in control of creating new products, not the manufacturer. Simply verify with a phone and you know the product is authentic, this completely solves the pain of counterfeiting. The products become self sovereign through the use of smart contracts, which can be used to settle import tarriffs directly when you claim ownership of the product. This way, logistics and customs do not need to worry about tax fraud anymore, since all products will be settled according to coded laws. Seal can track the entire journey of a product, even after the points of sale in the secondhand market, calculate the co2 footprint and provide a materials passports for recycling and disposal. Other product services can also be provided by building upon the open standard, such as custom marketing campaigns so brands can develop closer relationships with their fans. A new economic model is invented; when ownership changes, a small fee goes to the rights holder, so brands can make money on aftersales, multiple times over the course of the product lifecycle. Consumers can buy products with confidence on a marketplace by knowing exactly which specific product are buying.
The self sovereign products can be shipped in a Rootbox, which are sealed with a tamper-proof chip that links to all the products inside the parcel, so you can see what's inside without opening the product. This is useful for customs risk analysis and results in zero liability for logistics, who are often penalized when actually the sender should be. As the box passes through packaging and transport, the relevant stakeholders can add information to both the boxes and products inside, for example the weight of the overall box or the route taken. The customs document flow is converted to a data flow, so customs already knows before departure whether or not it should receive custom clearance or not. This prevents customs workload and useless shipping for logistics.
As a next step, the team is looking into partnering with a brand of luxury goods as well as a packaging company for a pilot project.
It is not a sin to fight for the right cause. There are those who words alone will not reach.
