According
to several recent reports looking at future growth in the sector; “Blockchain
Technology in Energy Market 2021”, “Blockchain
Technology in Financial Market May Set New Growth” and “Blockchain
Supply Chain Market To Witness Astonishing Growth – 2026”, blockchain
growth is outpacing many other technologies. This is creating a substantial
growth opportunity for companies implementing blockchain technology into their
services portfolios.
Seeing
the future potential, Epazz Inc. (OTC:
EPAZ),
a provider of blockchain cryptocurrency mobile apps and cloud-based business
software solutions, announced that the company
is releasing the StreamPay Blockchain Smart Contract app by the Company’s
fourth quarter. StreamPay app is a solution for managers to monitor their supply
chain for risk of fraud using blockchain smart contract technology to trace raw
materials to finished goods. Please visit https://www.streampay.io
From the news: StreamPay is an
enterprise supply chain risk monitoring and payment tracking solution that uses
blockchain smart contracts to manage suppliers and finished goods. StreamPay
technology keeps distributed ledgers to create articles to insert into smart
contracts. Thus, supply chain manufacturers, suppliers, vendors, logistics
companies, and customers can track goods and services from the raw materials to
the finished product using QR codes and digital signatures.
From the news: StreamPay gives
companies the ability to monitor their supply chain to determine whether it
faces any risks. StreamPay features a risk index that alerts users on their
dashboards to any supply chain problems that could arise. In addition,
StreamPay manages quality assurance to ensure the finished goods meet the
requirements the customers set. It also allows inspectors to issue
certifications to suppliers and partners. Finally, StreamPay enables parties of
a transaction to make policy decisions, and its smart contracts issue payments
to suppliers when goods or services have been delivered, based on the terms of
the smart contracts. The parties can pay in USD, Euros, or Cryptocurrencies,
and the StreamPay wallet maintains the current local exchange rate. This
provides users a worry-free payment experience that allows them to pay for
small items without needing to buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO, and Chairman of
Epazz Inc. said, “We are excited about the launching of the StreamPay app by the end of the year. We believe this app will begin
the process of building a company.”
