DCX clients will get access to theproject44 supply chain visibility platform through its recently launched 2.0 platform via the DCX’s regional and local marketplaces and in private environments for individual clients.  DCX will offer the functionality independently from the Marketplaces for those verticals which DCX does not currently cover through the DCX Freight application.

Stephen Edkins, Co-Founder and CEO of DCX said “project44's solution and API-first architecture provides real-time location tracking and uses IoT automation to improve freight and administrative inefficiencies and drive business processes,” he said. “[We] also take IoT tracking further than our competition. We can understand temperature, status and what commodities and SKUs are in which trailers. Our infrastructure is powered by AWS and irrespective of which ERP system our customers use, we have a standard set of Public APIs that allow for integration, enhancing their visibility.”

Archival Garcia, VP & GM, ANZ and SEA of project44 said, “We are looking forward to creating internal transparency in agri commodities with DCX. As a group we feel distributed ledger technology can pave the way for resolving the food security concerns currently facing the world.

We’re excited to share that the DCX –the suite of secure and integrated agricultural commodity trading platforms, is now live on the Hedera mainnet. From fertilizer to rice, DCX platforms give improved market access and price discovery. With the transparency, auditability, and power delivered by Hedera’s advanced form of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), fraud and risk are significantly mitigated.

In today’s turbulent, fast-changing commodity markets, the ability to ensure trust is vital for producers, distributors,and ultimately consumers. End-to-end supply chain participants need confidencethat their deals are with reliable counterparties, that risks can be assessedand managed, and that all stages of the negotiation can be verified by an independent third party without revealing any of the underlying confidential information. The time is ripe for the adoption of digital supply chains.  

Hedera’s publicly and independently verifiable record of transactions is a major step forward in providing trust in international commodity markets, an industry historically troubled by fears of fraud and other frictions associated with the physical trade and delivery of commodities. All users on the DCX platform can now verify individual platform events, such as trades, on the Hedera mainnet themselves. By providing full traceability and reassurance that all changes are hashed and recorded onthe Hedera Consensus Service (HCS), trust and confidence in each individual transaction is greatly enhanced through a complete audit log.

“We have been really impressed by the Hedera platform which is perfectly designed to bring security to agri-food commodity trading.” Said Stephen Edkins, CEO of DCX. “It provides the trust and transparency for risk to be more accurately assessed and managed. The tamper-proof audit log generated during a trade also allows users to share their verified trading history with suppliers of trade finance and other services. This unlocks access to services that small and medium-sized market participants are currently excluded from and thus broadens the market anddrives value creation.”  

DCX decided to leverage the Hedera dueto its high throughput capabilities, carbon-negative footprint, and the stability of its governance model. The Hedera Governing Council currently consists of 26 global organizations including abrdn, Avery Dennison, DBS Bank, Google, and LG Electronics.

Users are embracing the marketplaces and over 1 million tons of agricultural commodities have been traded since 2020. "Since we became users of DCX, our company has benefited from improve defficiency and faster processes." Said Róbert Jakab, MD of Emirates Foods. "Uploading a trade request and agreeing terms with the seller is very easy. We can quickly and easily agree all contract terms. The biggest benefitis the establishment of long-term business partnerships based on trusted data.The platform is designed to safeguard against fraud and poor quality products."
