Wireshape Joins Forces with Google Cloud to Bring The Supply Chain to Web3
Today, Wireshape is excited to announce its induction into the Google for Startups Cloud Program, a groundbreaking step in its mission to transform supply-chain transparency through innovative blockchain technology. This strategic collaboration marks a new era in Wireshape’s journey, propelling its vision for a decentralized, transparent, and efficient Web3 infrastructure and affordable payment gateway.
In the partnership with the Google for Startups Cloud Program, Wireshape gains unparalleled access to Google Cloud’s advanced technology and a rich network of industry experts, startups, and investors. The cutting-edge technology provided by Google Cloud is set to supercharge Wireshape’s blockchain capabilities, enabling faster, more efficient processing and enhanced security features. This technological boost is crucial for Wireshape as it works on running validation nodes on Google Cloud, a key element in fortifying the decentralization and robustness of its blockchain network, which already spans across six countries. Furthermore, the global community aspect of the program opens doors to invaluable collaborations, insights, and potential partnerships, fostering an environment where Wireshape can not only grow but also lead in innovation and development in the Web3 space. This synergy of advanced technology and community networking positions Wireshape at the forefront of addressing the e-commerce industry’s pressing challenges with more effective, scalable solutions.
“This partnership underscores our shared dedication to harnessing the power of blockchain for more than just technological advancement; it’s about crafting sustainable, real-world applications that redefine the e-commerce landscape.” expressed Cristiano Policarpo, Founder of Wireshape.
Wireshape addresses a critical issue in the e-commerce industry: the pervasive problem of inaccurate product information. A staggering quarter of global online purchases are returned, with 64% of these returns due to mismatches between online product descriptions and the actual products. This discrepancy not only leads to customer dissatisfaction and high costs in reverse logistics but also contributes to a significant environmental impact. Annually, these mismatches result in approximately 5 billion pounds of waste in landfills. Wireshape’s mission is to tackle this widespread issue by fostering transparency and accuracy in product data, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and promoting environmental responsibility within the e-commerce sector.
At the heart of Wireshape’s innovation is its decentralized application (dApp), designed to set a new standard in decentralized product data. The dApp enables consumers, manufacturers and retailers to add and validate product information, ensuring its accuracy and reliability. This community-driven approach enhances the transparency and integrity of product data across the supply chain. The integration with Google Cloud will further streamline this process, making it more efficient and scalable.
Wireshape’s participation in the Google for Startups Cloud Program is a testament to its innovative spirit and commitment to driving change in the e-commerce and supply-chain sectors. Through this collaboration, Wireshape is poised to enhance its blockchain ecosystem, offering a more secure, transparent, and user-friendly platform. As Wireshape continues to leverage the power of Google Cloud, it reaffirms its dedication to creating a sustainable, decentralized future for product data management.
