Mitsubishi Corporation RtM Japan Goes Live With ECO, Powered By Skuchain's Blockchain-Based EC3 Platform
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Skuchain, Inc. announced today the launch of the ECO system for precious metals trading, a joint project with Mitsubishi Corporation RtM Japan Ltd., the minerals trading subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation. ECO is powered by Skuchain's proprietary EC3 Platform for blockchain-based supply chain management and finance. From a base of some of their most valued customers, Mitsubishi Corporation RtM Japan will expand ECO to their wider supply chain ecosystem.
ECO facilitates trade verification by generating, managing and executing invoices and confirmations between counterparties. In the precious metals industry, suppliers, traders and customers manage information about transactions and commodities independently. ECO aims to securely share this information among industry players and eliminate redundant operations. Because entire transactions are digital, including necessary seals and wet-ink signatures, trade execution becomes far more efficient and can be done anywhere. ECO has launched just as international trade is urgently finding ways to innovate and avoid disruption from external shocks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
ECO will add features on a regular basis to solve the most pressing trade and supply chain pain points of companies in the industry. As ECO's functionality expands and more data is shared on the blockchain, Skuchain's technology for data sharing with field-level encryption will allow counterparties to distribute their data while maintaining granular privacy control over commercially sensitive information.
ECO is an important milestone in Mitsubishi Corporation RtM Japan's leadership in offering the industry's cutting-edge solutions. Skuchain is honored to be Mitsubishi Corporation RtM Japan's blockchain partner on this journey.
