Sam's Club China launches VeChain based blockchain platform

VeChain has partnered with Walmart China subsidiary Sam’s Club to increase supply chain transparency for its food products.

PricewaterhouseCoopers will participate in the Blockchain Traceability Platform project.

Since 2019, PwC China and Walmart China have been developing the Walmart China Blockchain Traceability Platform on the VeChain blockchain.

Sam’s Club will tap into a modified version of VeChain’s ToolChain platform, alongside software sensors, hardware sensors and Internet of Things technologies, to automatically upload data from its supply chain onto the blockchain.

Customers will then be able to access information on the origin of products by scanning QR codes in stores.
