Consensus use case – Shared routing codes
How
Each participant maintains
their own codes within a
Blockchain network
Blockchain creates single
view of entire dataset
Benefits
1. Consolidated, consistent
dataset reduces errors
2. Near-real-time of
reference data
3. Naturally supports code
editing and routing code
transfers between
participants
What
Competitors/collaborators in a
business network need to
share reference data, e.g.
bank routing codes
Each member maintains their
own codes,
and forwards changes to a
central authority for collection
and distribution
An information subset can be
owned by organizations
Immutability use case – Financial ledger
What
Financial data in a large
organization dispersed
throughout many divisions and
geographies
Audit and Compliance needs
indelible record of all
key transactions over
reporting period
How
Blockchain collects
transaction records from
diverse
set of financial systems
Append-only and tamperproof
qualities create high
confidence financial audit trail
Privacy features to ensure
authorized user access
Benefits
1. Lowers cost of audit and
regulatory compliance
2. Provides “seek and find”
access to auditors and
regulators
3. Changes nature of
compliance from
passive to active
Finality use case – Letter of credit
What
Bank handling letters of credit
(LOC) wants to offer them to a
wider range of clients
including startups
Currently constrained by costs
& the time to execute
How
Blockchain provides common
ledger for letters of credit
Allows all counter-parties to
have the same validated
record of transaction and
fulfillment
Benefits
1. Increase speed of execution
(less than 1 day)
2. Vastly reduced cost
3. Reduced risk,
e.g. currency fluctuations
4. Value added services,
e.g. incremental payment
Customer Documentation Provenance Use CaseKYC (Know Your Customer)
Customer creates public identity on the blockchain, then puts certain documents to prove identity on the
blockchain.
Customer gives Company A permission to view the documents
– the permission is recorded on the
blockchain.
Financial Services Provider A verifies
identity and signs the person’s identity on the
blockchain.
Customer applies. Instead of filling out all of the forms required, the customer simply permissions the bank to access the verified
identity. The bank trusts Financial
Services Provider A and therefore accepts the identity attestation
and saves on KYC verification cost.
A business network of financial services
providers cooperate to cut down KYC costs in
the long run. Customers are saved from having to enter
thousands of forms in their life.
Stock Exchange use case
Business Architecture:– Trading platform capable of handling 300
participants. Decentralized Peer-to-Peer architecture with nodes consisting of market participants (Banks, Securities Firms).
Client Value:– Reduce operating costs and settlement time.
Improved availability, through distribution of infrastructure
How it will transform the business:– Reduced costs by removing intermediate systems
and processing
End Game:– Listed products trading, clearing and settlements.

Provenance of each
component part in complex
system hard to track
Manufacturer, production
date, batch and even
the manufacturing machine
program
How
Blockchain holds complete
provenance details
of each component part
Accessible by each
manufacturer in the
production process, the
aircraft owners, maintainers
and government regulators
Benefits
1. Trust increased, no authority
"owns” provenance
2. Improvement in
system utilization
3. Recalls "specific"
rather than cross fleet
Returns; Authenticity/Fraud; Provenance
Problem
Product returns are a significant opportunity area for retail companies
Being able to trace authenticity of a product, and prevent fraud
Solution
• Blockchain enables a clear understanding of digital transfer of property across the end-to-end demand chain
Benefits
Verifiable, preventing any party from altering
Efficiencies through greater transparency
Simplify payments and reversing charges
Ensure smooth consumer process for maximum satisfaction and repeat purchase potential

Digitization of Order Tracking
Problem
Lack of real time visibility to order status
All entities maintain “ their own version of the truth”
reducing trust on the entire process
Solution
• Blockchain enables digital tracking and audibility
across the value chain
Benefits
• Efficiencies through greater transparency
• Real Time data leading to improved supply chain
Ecosystem: CP Manufacturer, Retailer, Logistics Provider
Supply Procurement / Global Trade Logistics
Problem
Opportunity to improve compliance and performance of suppliers, as well as overall streamline the procurement process
Suppliers looking for simpler process and improved collaboration / visibility; Global synergies in procurement
Solution
• Blockchain enable digital understanding of all aspects of contract, costs, forecasting, inventory, capacity, and payments to improve shared benefit
• The blockchain could act as a distributed, single source of shared truth. Smart contracts can be leveraged to update the state of the transaction, but also be shared among parties
Benefits
1. Verifiable: preventing any party from altering or challenging the legitimacy of the information being exchanged. Increased and shared visibility
2. Efficiencies through greater transparency to complex global supply chains.
3. Improved collaboration between supplier- producer or supplier-retailer
4. Governments can quickly and easily request reliable information from across the supply chain.
5. Efficiencies through full digitization

Contract manufacturing: Real time integration between parties
Problem
A complex eco-system between the CP Mfg., Contract manufacturer, Logistics providers; 3PL’s and raw material suppliers causes transparency delays and disputes to the accuracy of the inventory, production planning and order status
Additionally, opportunities exist to improve leverage in negotiations on behalf of the primary CP
Solution
• Blockchain removes the friction between the trading partners and provides real time information, audit and transparency across the whole value chain
Benefits
• Efficiencies through greater transparency
• Real Time data leading to improved supply chain
• Improved negotiation leverage for ‘primary’ CP (e.g. pricing)
Ecosystem: CP Manufacturer, Contract Manufacturer, Suppliers, logistics companies
CP-Retail Trade Deductions / Disputes management
Problem
• Extremely lengthy process to manage through trade payments
and deductions between CP and Retail
• Currently constrained by tools available, manual work,
disputes
Solution
• Blockchain provides common means allow discrepancies to be
resolved electronically vs. manually through shared ledger,
contracts, and visibility throughout
• Allows companies involved to quickly remediate dispute
Benefits
• Increase speed of resolution
• Speed to payments / increased cash flow
• Improved financials – trust, accuracy, timeliness
Ecosystem: CP Manufacturer ( multiple dept’s), Distributor & Retailer
• Median time to resolve deductions : 90 days
• Average spend on trade: 15-18% of sales
• 80-90% of traditional CPG promotions settle
thru deductions

B2B Commerce – Digitizing Trade between Retailer / Wholesaler / Distributor / Supplier
Problem
B2B interactions between CP-Retailer, CP-Wholesaler (DSD), or
Wholesaler to Partner can be complicated, involving millions of
documents and transaction costs
Likewise, Food Service organizations face similar challenges in a three-
tier distribution network (manufacturer, wholesaler, customer)
Solution
Blockchain provides a shared record of the contract status which is
updated as the purchase and delivery progresses.
Business contracts can be codified to allow two or more parties to
automate contractual agreements in a trusted way.
Benefits
Increased efficiency and transparency across the supply/demand chain
Elimination of extra costs associated with millions of documents
Increased cash flow and cost reduction
Ecosystem: CP Manufacturer, Wholesalers, Suppliers, Retailer, Banks
Problem
• Opportunity to use Blockchain in combination with
Internet of Things (sensors, etc.) to drive visibility and
speed throughout process
• Currently constrained by costs & the time to execute
Solution
• Blockchain provides common means to tie sensor
output into suppliers (e.g. product in a cooler tracked all
the way back to food origin, expiration dates, and price)
• Allows companies involved to quickly remediate / action
Benefits
• Increase speed of execution / action / maintenance
• Reduced costs or reduced spoilage
• Reduced downtime
“The so-called Internet of Things will need blockchains to manage ultimately
trillions of daily transactions. Traditional financial services companies cannot
manage micropayments and settle payments, such as when a factory light
purchases power from a public power auction. The Internet of Everything
needs a Ledger of Everything.” - Harvard Business Review – 5/10/16

Loyalty programs for merchants
Problem
Opportunity exists for better ‘cross sharing’ of loyalty points
among merchants and participants
Opportunity exists to improve cross-country loyalty for one
brand/company, as well as cross-franchise
Solution
Blockchain enables points to become ‘digital tokens’
Points could be immediately credited and tradable
Benefits
• Increased efficiency and transparency
• Cost reduction to participants
• Consumer benefit in flexibility and better real-time use of
points, resulting in positive brand experience
• Eliminates direct liability on balance sheets for merchants

“CLS Netting is a significant step forward
in reducing risk and providing further
efficiencies and resilience across the
global FX market.”David Puth
CEO, CLS Group
Post Trade: Foreign Exchange Payment Netting
The need:
Lack of standardized payment netting process for
trades not settled within current CLS environment
Institutions intervene manually and inconsistently
to complete netting process
Higher costs and increased intra-day liquidity
demands.
Solution:
CLS Group has partnered with IBM
Payment netting service, CLS Netting, for buy-side
and sell-side institutions’ FX trades that are settled
outside the CLS settlement service.
