Revenue Leakage Prevention

Eliminate costly manual reconciliation and settlement delays that tie up capital. Smart contracts automatically match transactions and execute payments when pre-defined conditions are met, slashing processing time from days to minutes.

• Real Example: A global logistics firm reduced its invoice reconciliation time by 95%, freeing up $20M in working capital previously stuck in dispute.
• Key Benefit: Near-instant settlement turns accounts receivable into cash flow, improving liquidity.

Provide immutable, cryptographic proof of delivery and customer consent, making fraudulent chargebacks virtually impossible to win. A shared, tamper-proof ledger between merchant, payment processor, and customer creates a single source of truth.

• Real Example: E-commerce platforms using blockchain attestation have reported reducing chargeback rates by over 70%, directly protecting margin.
• Key Benefit: Converts a cost center (fraud defense) into protected revenue, improving net profit.

Stop revenue leakage in media, software, and IP licensing with transparent, automated royalty distribution. Smart contracts track usage in real-time and automatically split payments according to complex agreements, ensuring creators are paid fully and promptly.

• Real Example: A major music streaming service implemented a blockchain ledger to track plays, ensuring accurate, real-time royalty payments to artists and reducing administrative overhead by 40%.
• Key Benefit: Ensures contractual compliance, builds trust with partners, and unlocks new usage-based revenue models.

Prevent costly contractual disputes and warranty fraud with an immutable record of a product's journey. From raw materials to end customer, every handoff and condition change is logged, providing indisputable evidence for claims and compliance.

• Real Example: A pharmaceutical company reduced shipment condition disputes by 90% using IoT sensor data logged on-chain, saving millions in lost product claims.
• Key Benefit: Dramatically reduces the cost and time of disputes, protecting revenue from false claims and ensuring contractual obligations are met.

Automate the entire procure-to-pay cycle on a shared ledger. Invoices are created, validated, approved, and paid automatically based on verified delivery data, eliminating manual errors, duplicate payments, and early/late payment penalties.

• Real Example: A manufacturing consortium cut invoice processing costs by 65% and reduced payment errors to near zero by moving their supply chain finance onto a permissioned blockchain network.
• Key Benefit: Reduces operational costs, improves supplier relationships with timely payments, and optimizes cash flow management.

Turn compliance from a manual, expensive annual exercise into a continuous, automated process. Every transaction is immutably recorded with timestamps and participant IDs, creating a perfect audit trail that reduces external audit fees and preparation time.

• Real Example: A financial services firm reduced its annual SOX compliance preparation costs by 50% by leveraging blockchain's inherent auditability for transaction reporting.
• Key Benefit: Significant reduction in compliance overhead and risk, transforming a regulatory cost into a strategic efficiency advantage.

Manual royalty tracking in media, software, and IP is error-prone and costly. Smart contracts automate distribution based on verifiable usage data, ensuring creators are paid accurately and on time.

• Example: Warner Music Group partners with blockchain platforms to track song streams and automate royalty splits, reducing administrative overhead and dispute resolution costs by over 60%.
• ROI Driver: Eliminates manual reconciliation, accelerates payment cycles, and captures previously lost micro-transactions.

Retailers lose billions to fraudulent chargebacks. An immutable record of a product's journey—from manufacturer to delivery—provides irrefutable proof of fulfillment.

• Example: Walmart's Food Traceability Initiative uses blockchain to track produce in seconds versus days. This audit trail drastically reduces "item not received" disputes and strengthens supplier compliance.
• ROI Driver: Cuts chargeback losses, reduces insurance premiums, and enhances brand trust with verifiable sustainability claims.

The digital ad industry suffers from click fraud and domain spoofing, wasting up to 30% of ad spend. Blockchain creates a transparent ledger for every impression and click, verified by multiple parties.

• Example: The IBM Watson Advertising accelerator built on blockchain allows advertisers to verify that ads run on legitimate sites and are seen by real users, ensuring budget reaches actual audiences.
• ROI Driver: Directly converts wasted ad spend into measurable engagement, improving campaign ROI and media buying efficiency.

Paper-based letters of credit and invoices lead to delays, fraud, and reconciliation errors. A shared blockchain ledger synchronizes all parties—buyer, seller, bank, shipper—on a single version of truth.

• Example: Marco Polo Network (TradeIX, R3) digitizes trade finance workflows. Automatic payment upon smart contract fulfillment (e.g., shipping receipt) reduces transaction times from weeks to hours and cuts processing costs by up to 80%.
• ROI Driver: Unlocks working capital, reduces operational risk, and minimizes financing costs through faster settlement.

Industries like healthcare and finance face heavy penalties for compliance failures. Blockchain creates an immutable, timestamped log of all transactions and data access events that cannot be altered retroactively.

• Example: Change Healthcare uses blockchain to provide a secure, transparent audit trail for healthcare claims, simplifying compliance with HIPAA and reducing the cost of audit preparation by an estimated 40%.
• ROI Driver: Drastically reduces regulatory fines and the labor cost of manual audit reporting, turning compliance from a cost center into a verifiable asset.

Telecom operators lose significant revenue from SIM box fraud, interconnect bypass, and billing errors. A decentralized settlement layer between carriers automates reconciliation in near real-time.

• Example: Operators like Orange have piloted blockchain solutions to securely share and settle call data records (CDRs) with partner networks. This eliminates disputes and identifies fraudulent routing patterns instantly.
• ROI Driver: Recovers millions in lost interconnect fees, reduces fraud management costs, and improves partner settlement efficiency.
