The Challange
The company was looking for a team of IT specialists who would help to develop an advanced backend system, while understanding its requirements in-depth, and selecting the best tools and technologies for the job.Artclear’s project integrates IoT technologies, as well as blockchain, an ecosystem of client applications, and a suite of client-facing and backend tools. Since the company uses its technology to protect high-value works of art, the system must be fortified against attacks and adhere to proper design principles, ensuring long-term scalability
The Process
The process began with a series of workshops with the client, during which our software architect created product specifications. Our next step was to validate these proposals and identify the most important challenges and problems.We created mock-ups and discussed them with the development team responsible for bringing the solution to life. We created tasks, defined key project milestones, and developed functionalities. We implemented them on infrastructure levels. Moreover, the system integrates Artclear’s specially designed scanning devices with the platform we have built.
We are Artclear’s software development partner, discussing key problems and making decisions based on our expertise. We have successfully developed token-minting capabilities, which are now live and allows users to generate blockchain-secured Certificates of Authenticity for scanned artworks in a matter of clicks. Following the completion of the MVP stage, we’re currently in the process of developing the end-user interface.
Through the system we have developed for Artclear, users can seamlessly implement Artclear’s service. From one location, Artclear’s clients can register artwork details, book scans and generate secure digital Certificates of Authenticity for their works of art. Using blockchain technology, we create immutable records of the encrypted data collected by Artclear’s scanners, forming the foundation of the Artclear certificates. These records will be used to definitively identify the artworks in future scans, establishing key characteristics of the artworks and ensuring undisputed expertise in the re-authentication process.The undeniable strengths of this project are its levels of innovation – there being no similar products available; the use of advanced technologies and fantastic cooperation between a strong team of specialists.
