According to the CEO of Inxeption, Farzad Dibachi, the new platform “creates simple pricing solutions for B2B merchants who have limited IT and digital marketing resources to effectively manage all that is involved in selling and shipping from a secure place.”
In mid-January this year, UPS reportedly made an undisclosed equity investment into Inxeption. The investment was part of the company’s drive to delve deeper into the Blockchain sector.
Dibachi also cites that “business clients need secure platforms that can effectively protect their data and proprietary information. Doing this while also making it easier for them to interact and collaborate with their customers more effectively.”

The move by UPS and Inxeption isn’t the only step taken by businesses when it comes to Blockchain implementation. Businesses in various other industries have also been widely exploring new ways in which Blockchain technology can improve their supply chain.

Earlier in the month, the largest branded shelf-stable seafood company in North America, Bumble Bee Foods, revealed the launch of a Blockchain platform.
