I learnt alot from vanigs that a key factor for integration in the supply chain is the availability of integrated information and control systems in the supply chain.

the roadmap suggests we  be seeing the e-commerce ecosystem every time soon ; Given that it is now not truely a long way off, I am thinking if it would be possible to recognize if there is a prototype in place we can take a look at out to get an thought how this would in reality work?

Definitely have to say that Vanig are continually moving forward with trying to advance themselves. Will be interested to see what comes out of the meeting with Ant financial and Alibaba.

Especially considering the changes coming to ETH.. With the talked about move from PoW to PoS and the changes to the network to handle load, it'll technically be an upgrade for vanig as well

the blockchain solves genuine problems. Especially in applications that demand sharing of data, security, persistency and availability. I think the biggest problem with ecommerce that the blockchain is solving is the sharing of data.

That is one of it. But judging from the plans of vanig, they are also looking at solving the problem of high cost of items due to middle men's influence on price. I feel that's a major thing to look at too.
