Two Hands Completes First GoTrace-Tracked International Lobster Shipment — GoChain
The Melbourne, Australia-based company successfully tracked its first Southern Rock Lobster shipment from Melbourne Australia to Shanghai, China with GoChain’s GoTrace software
October 28, 2020 — In May, it was announced that Two Hands would be adopting the GoChain public blockchain protocol and GoTrace Supply Chain Management Platform to track and trace lobster shipments. The Melbourne, Australia-based company today successfully completed its first GoTrace-tracked shipment of Southern Rock Lobster last week. The shipment originated in Melbourne, Australia on Thursday, October 22nd and arrived in Shanghai, China on Friday, where it was served Saturday evening during a wedding banquet at the JW Marriott Hotel in Changfeng Park, Shanghai.
Two Hands originally built its distributed ledger track and trace MVP solution on Hyperledger Fabric. After deciding to take advantage of the benefits offered by GoChain, Two Hands has officially transitioned to a private implementation on the GoChain public blockchain platform and launched its next generation digital marketplace, the Two Hands Marketplace.
Each individual lobster purchased through the marketplace has a unique, tamper evident Smart Tag which is used like a passport and tracked via GoChain’s GoTrace SaaS software. Chefs ordering through the Two Hands marketplace select from live inventory based on region, harvester or price. On purchase a travel itinerary for the product is created and the initial record is created on GoTrace. As the product travels through the supply chain, its itinerary is validated using the GoTrace app, allowing chefs and consumers to trust that their food or product is authentic, ethically harvested, and more.
