HerdX And UPS Deliver Blockchain Verified Beef


BOERNE, Texas, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- On Tuesday, June 9th HerdX and UPS showcased a blockchain tracked and verified beef shipment. The shipment started at Dean and Peeler Premium Beef in South Texas and shipped via UPS to an event held at The Richter Tavern in Boerne, Texas. Romaine Seguin, UPS President Global Freight Forwarding, and Jeff McCorstin, UPS President Global Customs Brokerage & North America Supply Chain Solutions, attended on behalf of UPS. 

McCorstin said, "Seeing the integration of the domestic UPS shipment with HerdX's blockchain technology in action, here in a local Texas restaurant, puts in perspective the need for this solution in supply chains across the globe. With sustainability and food safety as important differentiators, this is the future companies will choose in their supply chains."

About HerdX 
HerdX, an agri-tech and data company, created the first end-to-end solution from farm to table for beef and lamb products. Starting at the farm, the HerdViewTM system tracks animal movement providing insights and herd management tools for farmers. A select piece of that data is uploaded to blockchain and travels through the entire supply chain where then the meat is presented to the customer at a restaurant or grocery store. The customer is able to scan a QR code on the menu to view verified health and provenance data of the meat they are eating.
