A REVIEW OF THE VANIG PLATFORM
Vanig is a platform which leverages on blockchain technology to integrate the E-commerce platform into the supply chain ecosystem in order to proffer solutions to the bottlenecks experienced by stakeholders in the supply chain ecosystem i.e manufacturers, wholesaler, retailers and end consumers. The platform aims to make shopping a worthwhile and less frustrating experience for consumers by affording them the opportunity to select good products for purchase, track and trace the status of their goods, get authentic reviews about their products of choice, thus saving money and unnecessary costs.

CHALLENGES IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT AND E-COMMERCE INDUSTRY
• Lack of visible supply management: For a supply chain to operate effectively in today’s global world, visibility is a prerequisite. Supply chain visibility entails knowing where inventory is at any given time, and how well parts, components or products in transit can be tracked as they move from the manufacturer to their final destination. The goal is to improve and strengthen the supply chain by making this information readily available to all stakeholders, so as to enable a quick response to any shocks to the chain. Having a visible supply chain may cut risks, improve speed to market, and help identify shortage and quality problems along the supply chain, yet many companies are failing in their duty to enforce it.
• Inefficient tracking of products during a recall: The pressure on manufacturers to produce high quality products that are safe is an increasing challenge. Number of product recall cases is growing each day and this can damage a company’s reputation. When it happens, tracking of the product often poses a difficulty to stakeholders as a result of poor inventory management of products
• Inadequate inventory management: A crucial tool in large businesses is the ability to manage inventory well. Ineffective or none existent inventory tracking causes longer lead times which results in stock depletion, hence frustration on the part of customers.
• Fake reviews of products on e-commerce platforms: this is very rampant on social media today. Majority of reviews seen are orchestrated by manufacturers and wholesalers in order to sell their products, hence misleading innocent consumers who often fall into the trap of buying substandard products as a result of unauthentic reviews.

HOW VANIG WORKS IN ONLINE SHOPPING
• Consumer places an order using the Vanig Website or Mobile App. Smart contract #1 is initiated automatically and it captures the details of the order between the consumer and Vanig. This is recorded and stored in Vanig’s blockchain.
• Manufacturer/retailer ships the product from their location. This triggers another Smart contract #2 between the manufacturer and its distribution agent.
• Distribution agent picks up the order from manufacturer and delivers it to the consumer.
• When customer acknowledges the delivery, smart contract #3 will be triggered between distribution agent and customer
• Finally, Smart contract #4 is created to capture the transaction ledger between the wholesaler and the manufacturer.
All these transactions are recorded and are linked as blocks in the Vanig ecosystem. This linkage makes the transaction easily traceable on the blockchain system; hence inventory is visible to both consumers and all stakeholders in the supply chain.
