Our physical NFC identifier (eID card) enables self-sovereign identity (SSI) and secure data exchange in Enterprise and logistics settings.

The problem

To ensure authenticity of a shipment, we need to verify that with every change of custody the actors signing for the change of custody are authorised to do so from the start until the end of the chain.

The solution

For every interaction with a shipment, our eID cards let actors login to the ERP system and sign data and transactions using their DID and VCs. This allows for a flexible and secure use of authorization credentials, and possibility to track the chain of custody of among authorised actors.

Long term vision

For a trusted network of supply-chain actors, exchange of goods, data and information can be fully verifiable without loss of control over own data and identity information. For such exchange, every interaction with a shipment will be authenticated by means of digital identities and verifiable certificates issued to those identities.
