In a world where traditional product sales are shifting towards As-A-Service models, the challenge of managing payments, compliance, and financial flows remains significant.
Our recent discussion with Henri de Jong, Chief Business Development Officer at Quantoz, highlighted how blockchain-driven digital payments can be the catalyst that many industries need to unlock the full potential of outcome-based and subscription-based models.
At Black Winch, we help manufacturers pivot from selling products to selling outcomes. Imagine not just buying a machine, but paying based on the actual value it delivers.
For example, a glass bottle inspection service charged by the number of bottles checked - sometimes tens of thousands per day. This model demands real-time, accurate, and compliant payment flows.
Quantoz’s digital payment technology addresses this head-on, offering:
- Instant transactions: Settlement in under 3 seconds.
- Cost-efficiency: Transaction fees of less than 0.001 cent.
- Compliance by design: Ensuring money laundering prevention even at the machine level.
- Electronic money on-chain: Quantoz has an EMI license with the Dutch Central Bank, enabling them to issue EURD, a regulated programmable euro. EURD can be considered electronic money and has many advantages over stable-coins and cryptocurrencies, such as being always redeemable 1:1 with the issuer.
As Henri pointed out, blockchain enables machines, humans, and devices to manage wallets and financial transactions autonomously. This reduces administrative overhead and ensures transparency throughout a machine’s lifecycle - from manufacturing and maintenance to end-of-life value recovery.
Why Is this a game-changer?
- Efficiency: Real-time payments streamline complex invoicing.
- Flexibility: Supports various subscription models and outcome-based KPIs.
- Sustainability: Incentivizes manufacturers to build longer-lasting products.
As we move forward, Black Winch and Quantoz are exploring ways to collaborate and bring this vision to our clients in manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and beyond.
If you're considering As-A-Service models and want to ensure seamless payment processes, this could be the missing link you’ve been looking for.
