Our Vision
Foodchain SpA wants to make transparency an essential asset for any supply chain actor to guarantee the provenance, quality and value of the food, supporting producers and protecting consumers.
Thanks to Quadrans blockchain, an open ecosystem has been created to track and trace materials and companies along supply chains. Blockchain is the bridging system that joins all supply chain flows, improving management efficiency and quality control..
