Explore AVC Global's Blockchain Platform
ADVANCED SUPPLY CHAIN TECHNOLOGY
SmartHub
Your Connection to Everything
SmartHub
The SmartHub fully delivers on all elements of the AVC Global technology stack: Serialized Track & Trace, IoT sensors, “SmartPass” smart contracts for compliance and fast-tracked government clearances, Fintech for supply chain finance and cross-border payments, all on an immutable HyperLedger blockchain with auditable Consensus and Governance powered by Hedera Hashgraph.
SmartHub is a key component of the platform ecosystem; it is the hub of ingress and egress into the AVC/MVC network and is the foundation for establishing cryptographically verifiable and auditable “ground truth.” A Certified SmartHub possesses the assets to ensure that materials and commodities being moved through the supply chain meet the requirements of several stakeholders; Government officials in Customs, Tax, Compliance, as well as Buyers, sellers, and shippers in terms of supply chain risks.
SmartHub allows governments and industry leaders to provide more transparency and consumer safety for vertical industries like Pharmaceutics, Food, and Energy, by tracking all imports/exports and maintaining a digital record of each transaction with proper documentation and certificates, signature(s), and fees. Facilities certified as “SmartHub” have achieved our rating by applying our governance model to their operations and passing a rigorous independent evaluation by accredited evaluators.

Our Value Chain “Supply Chain” Finance module or VCF is the gateway between the AVC/MVC platform ecosystem and the global financial system. The VCF enables documentation, contracts, and data traditionally used in supply chain transactions to act as a cryptographic “SmartContract,” allowing liquidity to flow based on “ground truth” maintained by the platform.
AVC has partnered with one of the world’s leading fintech companies, Kyriba Corporation, to fully integrate its pioneering Active Liquidity Network connected internal applications for treasury, risk management, working capital, and payments with vital external sources such as banks, ERP systems, as well as trading platforms. The Value Chain Finance module empowers supply chains to transform how they activate financial liquidity as a dynamic, real-time vehicle for growth and value creation while also protecting against financial risk.
The fully integrated supply chain financing capabilities, combined with all other aspects of the AVC technology stack, such as real-time track and trace, IoT, artificial intelligence, smart contracts, all fully embedded on a blockchain, altogether provides unprecedented capabilities to dramatically improve supply chain liquidity and rapid, secure, trustworthy execution of contracts across supply chains, on a global scale.
VCF implements secured digital payment methods and follows industry-specific payment best practices by implementing reverse-factoring and dynamic-discounting.
At a time when the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic decimates global supply chains, this next generation of Supply Chain Finance will help ensure the speedy and efficient distribution of much-needed financial liquidity across the supply chains while drastically reducing the time required for paperwork, administration, and bureaucracy.
The ability to reduce payment times from 30-60-90+ days months to a single day across supply chains for the most critical items, such as pharmaceuticals and food products, is a game-changer.
VCF Module is fully integrated into SmartHub, and SmartPass does and enables:
- Implements secured digital payment methods and follows industry-specific payment best practices by implementing the following
- Reverse-factoring
- Dynamic-discounting
- Increases the rate of payments to suppliers
- Puts the Buyer in control of financing with their suppliers and shippers
- Enables Buyers to incentivizes suppliers and shippers to meet Buyer delivery expectations
- Enables Governments to pay suppliers and service providers rapidly
