The Challenge

Globacap, a UK-based fintech company and market leader in blockchain-based security issuance and administration, was faced with the challenge of simplifying and expanding access to global capital via their capital raising platform. The company aimed to issue a world’s first digital token that itself forms the legal shareholding in the company, extend their core team with specialists who have relevant experience and skills in fintech, develop a single-page application to ensure much-improved user experience, improve the KYC process, and enable companies to track transactions for their tokens. However, they faced challenges in ensuring the security of the platform and its compliance with a number of fintech regulations, developing a mechanism that would provide easy management of digitized equity, and scaling a team with relevant competencies within a short time frame.

About The Customer

Globacap is a London-based fintech company and the market leader in blockchain-based security issuance and administration. It is the first company to issue digitized equity in public blockchain. The Globacap platform tokenizes assets and provides end-to-end capital raising, custody, and administration services. The company aims to simplify and widen access to global capital via their capital raising platform. They sought to issue a world’s first digital token that itself forms the legal shareholding in the company, extend their core team with specialists who have relevant experience and skills in fintech, and enable companies to track transactions for their tokens.

The Solution

Globacap partnered with N-iX, a software development company, to build a platform that brings capital raising and asset administration into the digital world. N-iX provided consulting services in the area of fintech and assembled a team of skilled Ruby and JavaScript software developers. They developed a single-page application with JavaScript to ensure seamless user experience, easy development, and simplified debugging. They also built an internal API that connects SPA with back-end. The team enhanced the KYC process to verify the identity of investors and companies before they start making financial transactions. They integrated with Trulioo, a KYC provider, and several crypto asset trading companies such as Coinbase and Cumberlands to convert cryptocurrencies to fiat currencies. They also developed a management console for companies to have access to blockchain and see the list of their investors.

Operational Impact

  • The partnership with N-iX has enabled Globacap to facilitate the sale, issuance, and management of digitized equity via its automated capital markets platform. The improved KYC process, a lightweight UI, and transparency into all transactions with a token have prepared Globacap to provide more companies access to a wider pool of global capital. The company has also forged a strategic partnership with Smartlands, a worldwide Platform for tokenization of real economy assets. The success of the project is evident in the company's listing in the Top 175 Fintech Influencers 2019 and the successful closure of three deals on the platform.

Quantitative Benefit

  • Globacap was listed in the Top 175 Fintech Influencers 2019

  • Several companies have listed their shares on the Globacap platform to find investors

  • Three deals have been successfully closed on the Globacap platform

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.
