Omnitude ICO - A comprehensive solution for e-Commerce, supply chains, and consumer-facing apps.
Omnitude ICO Overview
The Omnitude ICO and ECOM Token connects blockchain technologies to existing eCommerce platforms and enterprise systems. Interoperability between networks of disparate software systems and blockchain is a pressing demand in the tech world. Most enterprise software solutions exist in disparate information verticals.
Businesses like eCommerce sites can deploy Omnitude without replacing their current systems to create a more efficient and transparent data ecosystem. As an open source project, app developers can deploy solutions built on Omnitude at will.
Omnitude ICO Value Proposition
Omnitude is built around a series of connectors and Standard APIs that shuttle data between different software platforms and blockchains. As the project is implementing an open-source API, developers are free to deploy the product at any point where greater connectivity and data flow will benefit their enterprise.
Utilizing Omnitude, anyone can develop integrations and data flows as an app or script. While the ERP use cases are in theory limitless, Omnitude’s initial target is the eCommerce sector.
Omnitude is designed to eliminate many of the current issues in the eCommerce market, such as customer onboarding by individual merchants, supply chain inefficiencies and fraud on the part of both customers and sellers. These innovations will be accomplished primarily through the introduction of the Omnitude Identity and Omnitude Supply Chain solutions.
Omnitude’s Single Identity, Single Reputation and Proof-of-Interaction mechanisms are designed to help merchants minimalize identity theft, which is the most common type of eCommerce fraud. Omnitude can also help reduce merchant fraud via a system of staged payment releases contingent on the location of each package within the supply chain.
The Supply Chain solution will allow individual items or shipments tagged with identifiers to be tracked as they move along the supply chain at every stage- from raw materials to the finished product and final sale. Each location will be recorded to the ledger. From each node, smart contracts will record this progress and release payments to shippers or suppliers. Retailers or customers can use the proposed Omnitude Tracker App to access information from each point in the supply chain, providing information on exactly what point an item may have been lost.
The ECOM token (ERC20) will be launched with Omnitude on the Omnilayer platform. Merchants, customers and suppliers use ECOM to participate in the Omnitude ecosystem. The primary functions of the token within the ecosystem are outlined below:
A method of settlement between parties to access ecosystem resource.
- Merchants make payments in ECOM to other participants in the ecosystem to access features such as Delivery Cycle Data, Omnitude ID, Shared Product Data etc.
- Customers will make payments to merchants using ECOM, crypto currencies or FIAT. They can also receive ECOM in return for reviews and participation in loyalty programs
An incentive for ecosystem participants to operate and secure the ecosystem.
- Omnitude’s blockchain is guaranteed by a distributed, peer-to-peer network of validating nodes running the Omnitude Core client application. Nodes that enforce the consensus algorithm receive a share in ECOM block rewards

Omnitude ICO Strengths and Opportunities
Omnitude are targeting a real need in the market where use of blockchain technology makes practical sense. Blockchain application for eCommerce could meet a plethora of demands within the industry, that developers themselves are starting to point out. As CEO Chris Painter is particularly experienced in the eCommerce industry, his knowledge of the inefficiencies and crucial points of deployment will be an asset in the development and adoption of the platform for this particular use case.
The Omnitude ICO should appeal to the demand for connectivity between verticals and information silos that currently present a huge barrier to efficiency and create unnecessary costs. A crucial selling point of Omnitude is that integration between disparate enterprise software systems can be accomplished without switching to new software.
These two factors could increase the prospects for adoption. Connecting separate data silos is crucial for the value and efficiency of any business; in theory, Omnitude could even be scaled by developers to set business rules for an entire eCommerce platform by collecting and analyzing data from every point in the ecosystem.
Omnitude ICO Weaknesses and Threats
Omnitude is notably missing partnerships with enterprise clients. In our communications with CEO Chris Painter, he indicated that this is one front he and the team are currently focusing on. For any product, partnerships with companies that are willing to pilot the product lend a huge amount of credence. Particularly in the case of an enterprise solution like Omnitude, a partnership would significantly increase the overall prospects of the project.
The worldwide market valuation of enterprise resource planning solutions is set to grow to $84 billion by 2020. Large tech firms are bent on capturing that market with their own blockchain technology; SAP are already piloting blockchain-based ERP systems and IBM/Maersk have formed a partnership to implement a blockchain supply chain management platform.
Where does this leave players like Omnitude that are going after the same market? Focusing on a strategic entry point, such as eCommerce, is one decisive factor that will be crucial for success. The advantage of seamless interoperability and unlimited deployment possibility is another factor, which at this stage in the game, sets Omnitude apart from other players.
Those aspects must be strategically leveraged if Omnitude is to have any chance at capturing a piece of the market. Two missing indicators that would give us more confidence on the competition front are partnerships and product development. Without a demonstration of the MVP, the product remains speculative at this stage.
The Verdict on Omnitude ICO
The Omnitude ICO offers an innovative concept to address major inefficiencies in enterprise system management which are ripe for blockchain implementation. Yet at this point in the game, without seeing an MVP or confirming rumored partnerships, we are left to rely on the team and concept when making our decision.
SUMMARY
The Omnitude ICO has exactly the right idea: to connect the dots between blockchains and existing software, without forcing e-Commerce providers to abandon legacy platforms. It's a grand scheme and their approach is both novel and, we believe, logical
