SGS Launches Service to Help Buyers Inspect International Suppliers

SGS, the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, has launched the Buying Assistance Program, a new service to help consumer goods manufacturers successfully source suppliers for their global supply chains.

SGS’s Buying Assistance Program, devised for the toys and hardgoods sector, fills a gap that has become readily apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Before a buyer chooses a new supplier, they will often inspect a production facility to gauge its ability to fulfill contractual obligations. However, with the introduction of travel restrictions during the pandemic, this has become impossible. The answer is local independent inspectors acting as the eyes and ears for the buyer.

SGS works with the buyer to create a checklist and inspection plan. SGS’s highly-trained inspectors review every aspect of the facility’s production process – from purchasing raw materials to shipping the end product – providing full reports with photographic evidence that can be customized for reporting in 2D or 3D, as if the buyer were actually present. The inspector’s report determines whether a facility can fulfill the customer’s ordering requirements, identifying strengths and weaknesses in the supplier’s systems, and pinpointing non-conformities. When a problem is encountered, they work with the buyer and the supplier to develop a remediation plan. As an important part of due diligence, SGS’s Buying Assistance Program helps businesses find the right supplier while mitigating risk in their supply chain.

Commenting on the launch, Scott Nesson, International Sales Manager, SGS said: “The severe disruption caused by COVID-19 has shown that buyers are often unable to visit potential suppliers. With the Buying Assistance Program, we are using the latest technology, backed by our global network of highly experienced inspectors, to fill the gap and restore trust in global supply chains.”

Managing a global supply chain is difficult even without the restrictions imposed to curb the spread of COVID-19. Without detailed inspections, buyers are cautious and seek assurance because they lack the necessary insights to make informed decisions about new suppliers. The Buying Assistance Program fills this intelligence gap, helping the buyer to make the right choices and rebuilding trust in their supply chain.

Lastbit Instant Payment System Brings Bitcoin into the Mainstream

Berkeley, Calif: Getting started with Bitcoin has never been easier - thanks to an intuitive payments system that Lastbit has been working on for over a year now.

Lastbit has built an interoperable payments layer between Bitcoin and Euros (USD coming soon), that allows new and experienced users to get started with Bitcoin and the Lightning Network in the simplest possible manner. This means zero setup overhead and zero complexity in understanding internal Bitcoin or Lightning mechanics.

Users can deposit, withdraw, send and spend Bitcoin or Euros on the Bitcoin network or on Lightning immediately. For example, one could get paid in Euros to a debit card issued by one of the world’s largest networks, by someone paying in Bitcoin over the Lightning Network and vice versa! Users may also opt in to simplify their Bitcoin purchasing and usage experience by opting to automatically buy Bitcoin on a weekly basis or custom frequency, more popularly known as Dollar Cost Averaging.

Created by Prashanth Balasubramanian, Bernardo Magnani Blanco, and Ashvin Panicker, Lastbit is their combined vision to enable the mass-market adoption of crypto-currency.

"For the first time in the history of Bitcoin, you can now walk into a store and pay for your purchase using bitcoin even if the merchant does not accept crypto-currency - securely, instantly and seamlessly, in addition to a multitude of other payments use cases previously unimaginable in the history of electronic money. Lightning enables instant peer to peer transactions and we’ve leveraged this to build truly unique payment models" said CEO Mr. Balasubramanian.

The application is now available to beta test with testnet Bitcoin from the Lastbit website. With over 1000 users signed up for the beta, Lastbit will begin rolling out a user feedback led, revamped version of the application, compliant with Europe’s 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directive in the coming months, to select users. In addition, Lastbit will begin shipping physical Lightning powered debit cards to European/EEA consumers shortly. Join their telegram group or sign up for the mailing list to follow their progress.

"Lastbit allows new and experienced crypto users alike, to easily move between Bitcoin and Euros, giving them the ability to seamlessly use bitcoin for their daily purchases." added Mr. Panicker. "Money needs an upgrade and we believe using Bitcoin is a leap in that direction"

Launched in October 2018, the company has raised nearly $600k in seed funding from the likes of Charlie Lee and Fulgur Ventures. Lastbit is an alumni of UC Berkeley's SkyDeck accelerator.
