Real world use case
From time to time we will present real world use cases for blockchain based business integration and workflows as can be found on our website.
Today we start with a “product pass approval”
Challenge
A jewellery company develops new necklaces which are about to be manufactured abroad, and then distributed by the company-owned web shop. The approval process involves different departments and consists of different steps. Some of these steps are dependent on the fulfilment of other steps, and some are accomplishable independently.
Unibright solution
Unibright conformant smart contracts interact by setting states of their respective approval. The current state of the approval process is accumulated in a central smart contract which holds the control flow and implicitly decides on the final approval state.
Benefits using the Unibright framework
The current state of the approval workflow is implicitly represented by the available blocks in the blockchain — the blockchain acts as a state-machine: secure, reliable and deterministic. The Unibright Explorer can be frequently used to check the current state of the approval process, showing the complete information flow of all participating parties.
