Can you tell us why you have decided to apply to BlockStart’s Call for end-user SMEs?

Founders of Kedeon approached us with the offer and right away it was clear that this is a great opportunity to test out a solution that would help our business and provide useful data insights. We also see this solution as a good marketing tool for b2c sales.

What major challenges have you faced during the implementation/testing of BlockStart’s blockchain-based solution?

The solution has a lot of moving parts – dashboard, software, hardware, mobile app. There is still some work needed in order to improve the workflow of the whole solution and we need to figure out how to market the blockchain features to our end customers.

What kind of impact do you think the blockchain-based solution you have implemented in the scope of BlockStart may bring to your company?

The transparency aspect is important to increase customer trust in our services.

Where do you see your company in 5 years?

Being the best b2c delivery service provider in Latvia.
