Blockchain, AI, and IoT: A Perfect Match?

Blockchain technology, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are now widely acknowledged as disruptive technologies with the ability to enhance current business processes, establish new business models, and disrupt entire sectors. By offering a shared and decentralized distributed ledger, blockchain, for example, can improve trust, transparency, security, and privacy in corporate processes.

Purpose of Blockchain, IoT and AI:

  • A Blockchain, or a distributed ledger in general, can store all kinds of assets in the same way that a register can. These data can primarily be linked to money and identities.
  • IoT drives industry automation and user-friendliness of business operations, both of which are critical for the IT industry's overall readiness.
  • Finally, AI improves business processes by spotting trends and optimizing their consequences.

Until now, the interconnectedness of these three advancements has been overlooked, and Blockchain, IoT, and AI have been used in isolation. These advances, on the other hand, may and should be used in tandem, and they will merge in the future. IoT collects and gives data, Blockchain provides infrastructure and establishes engagement rules, and AI optimizes processes and rules, according to one conceivable connection between these technologies. 

The Convergence of Blockchain, IoT, and AI

Blockchain technology was exclusively considered in the context of payments until a few years ago, i.e., Bitcoin and Ether, however, non-financial applications of blockchain technology, such as supply chain management and digital identities, have emerged in recent years. 

For example:

1. New studies have emerged that highlight the use of Blockchain technology to improve the system infrastructure of various IoT devices. They outline how the architecture of blockchains can be modified such that the resulting infrastructure is better equipped to serve IoT devices, especially with respect to the speed of transactions. 

 

2. Besides focusing on Blockchain in connection with IoT, some studies also focus on the combination of Blockchain and AI. To date, the focus has been on linking Blockchain with one other breakthrough technology, such as IoT or AI, rather than implementing all three technologies at the same time. The actual potential of these new, developing technologies, however, will only be realized if they are merged. 

Conclusion:

Blockchain, IoT, and AI are all technologies that can be used in a variety of ways. We believe that these advancements will converge because the combination of these technologies will boost business models, products, and services. 

Benefits:

  • Sensors, automobiles, robots, trucks, cameras, and other IoT devices might all gain from such business models. These entities can send and receive money on their own, and make decisions as independent economic agents using AI and data analytics.
  • The growth of such business models, as well as the digital transformation of industrial enterprises, will be fueled by their convergence. Executives must deal with these technologies if they are to achieve significant efficiency benefits.
  • The combination of blockchain technology, IoT, and AI will usher in a new era of digitization.

Technologies that are Shaping the Future of the Pharmaceutical Industry

Adopting cutting-edge technologies can play a critical part in the pharmaceutical industry’s digital revolution. Capturing this opportunity, however, necessitates the identification of the appropriate initiatives.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Blockchain are among the innovations that are beginning to transform the pharmaceutical industry in the same way that they have transformed other industries such as media, retail, banking, telecommunications, education, and so on.

Here are a few emerging technologies that are already reshaping the pharmaceutical sector:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are without a doubt the pharmaceutical industry’s next big thing. In the healthcare industry, AI is already being utilized to perform repetitive jobs such as data entry, lab test analysis, data management, and so on.

ML is also utilized in disease identification and diagnosis, radiography and radiation planning, clinical trial research, personalized medicine, rare disease identification, and new medication development, among other applications.

AI and ML are likely to be integrated into the majority, if not all, pharmaceutical R&D processes. As a result, drug development success rates should improve and streamline R&D efforts.

IoT Integration

IoT has tremendous potential to benefit the pharmaceutical business. By identifying difficulties and making adjustments before they pose a problem, a network of connected devices with monitoring sensors can reduce the risk of machinery malfunctions and ensure precision output.

IoT integration can help the pharmaceutical industry’s manufacturing sector, for material tracking and management, and even in the manufacturing process of medications. Furthermore, IoT-enabled data-gathering devices can find at shipping and receiving stations, collect information from RFID tags and barcodes, and correlate data from numerous places to ensure consistency.

Omnichannel payment processing

Payment processing based on omnichannel will unlock considerable benefits, such as boosting customer loyalty and happiness, enabling enhanced sales efficiency, and preventing fraud, for many merchants who handle several retail channels and formats.

The Future of Insurance: How to Prepare for the Technological Shift in this Industry

Rapid technological advancements in the coming decade will result in disruptive developments in the insurance business. Carriers that employ new technology to build novel solutions, harness cognitive learning insights from new data sources, streamline processes and cut costs, and meet customer expectations for individualization and dynamic adaptation will be the victors in tech-based insurance. 

 

While most organizations did not likely invest extensively in disruptive technologies during the pandemic, the increasing emphasis on digital technology and a stronger openness to embracing change will place them in a better position to integrate tech into their operations. 

How insurers can prepare for accelerating changes:

The industry’s rapid transformation will be powered by the widespread use and integration of automation, deep learning, and external data ecosystems. While no one can foresee what insurance will look like in the future, carriers may start preparing for the change now. 

1) Learn about AI-related technologies and developments.

Although the industry’s seismic shifts will be technological, resolving them is not the responsibility of the IT team. Instead, board members and customer-experience teams should devote time and resources to developing a thorough grasp of these AI-related technologies. 

 

Insurers, for example, are unlikely to gain much information from small-scale IoT pilot projects in separate segments of the organization. Instead, they must move with intent and a clear knowledge of how their company can engage in the IoT ecosystem at scale. 

2) Create the necessary talent and technological infrastructure.

The next generation of successful frontline insurance workers will be in high demand, and they will need to be a unique blend of technologically adept, creative, and willing to work at something that will not be a static process, but rather a mix of semi-automated and machine-supported tasks that will constantly evolve. 

To keep up, an aggressive plan for attracting, cultivating, and retaining a diverse workforce with vital skill sets will be required. Data engineers, data scientists, technologists, cloud computing professionals, and experienced designers will be needed among those employed. 

3) Create and begin implementing a well-thought-out strategic plan.

Carriers must select how to employ technology to support their business plan based on the insights gained from AI explorations. Some carriers are already experimenting with novel techniques, such as establishing their venture capital arms, purchasing potential insurtech startups, and forming alliances with top academic institutions. 

Insurers should create a perspective on the areas in which they want to invest to match or beat the market, as well as which strategic approach—for example, founding a new business or building in-house strategic capabilities—is best suited for their organization.

4) Develop and implement a thorough data strategy.

Data is quickly becoming one of, if not the, most significant assets for any firm. The insurance sector is no exception: how carriers identify, assess, place, and manage risk is all dependent on the volume and quality of data they collect throughout the life cycle of a policy. 

Carriers should be prepared to implement a comprehensive procurement approach that may include direct acquisition of data assets and providers, licensing of data sources, usage of data APIs, and collaboration with data brokers.

How Technology Trends are Shaping and Disrupting the Insurance Industry

Have you ever attempted to verify the status of an insurance claim? Obtaining claim status information frequently necessitates multiple phone calls, emails, or even a visit to an agent. Customer satisfaction suffers because of a lack of web presence. Today, approximately 61% of clients want to track the status of their applications using digital technologies.

Digital technologies bring several disruptive trends to the insurance business such as personalization, the shift to a platform economy, automation, and real-time based estimates. 

AI, IoT, Blockchain, API, wearables, and Telematics are emerging technologies that have shaped tech trends and should be embraced to stay ahead of the competition as it enables insurance companies to provide a better customer experience while also increasing operational efficiency. 

So, which features will have the greatest impact?

  • Wearables and telematics monitor client behavior, allow for risk prevention and pave the way for new business models.
  • AI insurance solutions enable businesses to provide customized quotes to clients, integrate Robo-advisors, and improve fraud detection.
  • Blockchain technology aids in workflow governance and ensures transparency.
  • Insurance APIs facilitate information exchange, increase product distribution through internet channels, and eventually allow insurers to recommend more versatile products.

One of the biggest challenges when dealing with technology is accountability, which is why Tech must be explainable, and more importantly, Data use must be accountable. 

Insurers, for example, cannot keep customers in the dark about how artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms make decisions that influence their life, such as premium pricing, claim rejections, or job applications.

And, as businesses collect data via multiple monitoring apps and digital channels, they must also consider and shield people’s privacy and security concerns.

Making the move to digital business models and customer experiences will be difficult unless insurers can gain the trust of customers, employees, and intermediaries that digital technology is being used in a way that benefits them. 

As many technological models hit their breaking point, they presage a larger transition that organizations must be aware of- people will no longer be spectators in the face of technology. The ability of insurance firms to improve the human experience by providing individuals agency in their interactions with technology will be critical to the success of the next generation of products and services.

Blockchain: Creating a Global Network without Geographic Limitations

Blockchain, a relatively new technology, has emerged in recent years and has begun to gain popularity in a wide range of businesses. This technology is frequently hailed as having the potential to recreate how “trust” is perceived in the economy by eliminating the need for intermediaries such as banks and replacing them with mathematics or “code.” It is one facet of a complex digital ecosystem that is changing the way businesses, markets, and regulators interact. 

While Blockchain impacts the financial industry in a diverse number of ways, it has an untapped potential to disrupt the old concept of trade finance by allowing it to transcend local, state, and national borders. 

Through Blockchain we can get rid of all those layers and just pay for what matters, which is the product or service we require. 

Let us have a look at how Blockchain technology has helped make the world a smaller place for businesses in the Fintech Industry and trade finance: 

  • Because Blockchain technology is internet-based, it does not require any special setup. Fintech companies using blockchain-enabled decentralized systems can make global transactions into simple, routine processes with only one requirement: internet connectivity.
  • The usage of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology can help facilitate cross-border commercial transactions that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive due to trade and documentation fees. It would also cut the amount of paper used and reduce delivery times.
  • Payments between importers and exporters could be made in tokenized form using Blockchain technology, based on the delivery or receipt of products. Importers and exporters could use smart contracts to create rules that secure automatic payments and eliminate the danger of lost, delayed, or repeatedly mortgaged shipments.
  • When Blockchain technology is used in trade finance, it can lead to increased trust between trade parties, as well as the ability to hide proprietary information such as price and trade secrets when appropriate.

Trade finance exists to help exporters and importers manage risks, offer loans, and participate in international trade. Even though it is an important aspect of the global financial system, it usually uses outmoded, manual, and written paperwork. Importers, exporters, and other stakeholders can benefit from Blockchain’s ability to streamline and simplify the complicated world of trade finance.

How decentralization in Blockchain technology is Disrupting the Finance Industry

Blockchain technology has the potential to improve basic services in the Finance industry. It is based on a decentralized, digitalized, and distributed ledger model at its core. This is stable and safer than the proprietary, centralized models currently used in the trade ecosystem. 

What is the concept of decentralization in Blockchain?

The transition of control and decision-making from a centralized entity (individual, organization, or group thereof) to a distributed network is referred to as decentralization in Blockchain. Decentralized networks aim to minimize the amount of trust that participants must put in one another and limit their ability to assert power or influence over one another in ways that are detrimental to the network. 

Blockchain technology provides a way for untrusted parties to come to agree on the status of a database, without using a middleman. By providing a ledger that nobody administers, Blockchain could provide specific financial services without the need for a bank. 

Blockchain: The role of DLT in financial services

Blockchain’s cousin, “distributed ledger technology (DLT),” could help corporations develop better governance and standards around data exchange and collaboration for use cases that don’t require a high degree of decentralization. 

The distributed ledger, created by Blockchain technology, is a viable, decentralized record of transactions that can replace a single master database. It holds an everlasting record of all transactions, which can be traced back to its source. This is also known as provenance, which is critical in trade finance as it allows financial institutions to review all transaction steps and reduce fraud. 

Benefits of decentralization in Blockchain:

1. It creates a trustless environment: No one needs to know or trust someone else in a decentralized Blockchain network. In the form of a distributed ledger, each member of the network has a copy of the same data. 

 

2. Payments: Blockchain technology could allow faster payments at lower rates than banks by creating a decentralized ledger for payments (e.g., Bitcoin).

 

3. Clearance and Settlement Systems: Distributed ledgers reduce operating costs while bringing us closer to real-time financial transactions. 

 

4. Loans and Credit: By eliminating the need for gatekeepers in the loan and credit industry, Blockchain technology will make borrowing money safer and more affordable. 

 

5. Blockchain-equipped applications allow people to control their own digital identities and data. Today, social media outlets, businesses, and other organizations sell this information for a profit, with no benefit to the user. A decentralized approach would help make it equitable for all. 

 

6. Applications that offer urgent international or emergency assistance to those in need without the involvement of a bank, government, or third-party agency are notable examples.

Over the last decade, Blockchain technology has gotten a lot of recognition, moving beyond the praise of fringe Bitcoin enthusiasts and into the mainstream discourse of banking experts and investors. Anything from payment transfers and how capital is earned in the private sector is being transformed by Blockchain. Will the conventional Finance industry accept or be replaced by this technology?  

A decentralized, Blockchain-based innovation makes managing international trade payments more reliable, cost-effective, and less risky. This approach improves transparency by allowing all stakeholders to see the data and reports in real-time.

How Blockchain Technology is Revolutionizing the Fintech Industry

Blockchain-based Fintech may be the next step in the financial industry’s evolution, which is likely to remove the middleman, increase transparency, and increase the protection of each transaction. Many industries are looking for ways to incorporate Blockchain into their infrastructures. But what makes this emerging technology the obvious choice for businesses to succeed in the digital age? 

Let us take a closer look at Blockchain technology and see how it can benefit businesses in the Fintech industry: 

Improved Transparency:

The fact that the transaction ledger for public addresses on Blockchain is open to viewing is its most distinguishing feature. This introduces an unparalleled layer of transparency to financial structures and companies, keeping each segment of the company accountable to behave with honesty in the company’s development, culture, and customers.

Improved Security:

Since each new transaction is encrypted and connected to the previous transaction, Blockchain is much safer than other record-keeping systems. As the name implies, Blockchain is created by a network of computers coming together to validate a ‘block,’ which is then added to a ledger, forming a ‘chain’. Blockchain is made up of a complex string of mathematical numbers that cannot be changed once created. The irreversible and incorruptible existence of Blockchain protects it from tampering and hacking. 

Trust through collaboration:

What if there was a way to bind business partners directly, virtually without effort, and with near-complete trust?

Blockchain technology has created a modern business relationship platform that incorporates ease of use, low cost, and high security. It establishes a new foundation of confidence for business transactions, which could lead to significant economic simplification and acceleration. 

E.g.: How many people like paying commission to intermediary parties? None. With a Blockchain-enabled infrastructure financial transactions can be real-time, secure, and at much-much lower fees. 

How is the Financial Ecosystem being transformed by Blockchain?

From cost savings to reducing bureaucracy in conventional banking, Blockchain in Fintech will provide more streamlined and reliable banking services that support both the bank and the clients.

 

To allow Fintech businesses to exchange and move safe and unaltered data via a decentralized network, Blockchain aids in the management of data breaking and other fraudulent operations. It will assist in making data more secure with algorithms, even when encrypted, as well as better tracking, comprehending, and auditing AI decisions, ensuring the degree of accountability needed for people to trust machine-driven intelligence. 

Furthermore, Blockchain technology has the potential to eradicate questionable capital exchange practices like stock tampering, processing time and fees, and all intermediary commissions.

 

Based on the principles of equity and decentralization, Blockchain in the Fintech industry will provide us with a much more seamless and reliable alternative to banking.

We are just scratching the surface of Blockchain’s future applications, but it is obvious that this technology elevates business partnerships to a whole new stage. Here are a few instances that are currently in use or will be soon. 

Music and literature, for example, frequently take a long time to get from the artist to the customer. Countless middlemen, from the label to the salesperson, all want a piece of the action. There are also permits and concessions to consider, as well as the complicated copyright management of online platforms. Direct communication between artist and user is possible with Blockchain. 

Supply chains can go through a plethora of stages from raw materials to finished products in many different parts of the world, making them difficult to track. By checking each move with a block entry, Blockchain helps to make the process transparent.

Mobile Wallets: Enabling a Digital Future

The business-consumer relationship is rapidly becoming digital. Using e-commerce platforms and AI-powered solutions, businesses are transforming their ways to meet the needs of their customers. An important part of the financial sector that is rife with innovation is payment. Mobile technologies like smartphones, tablets etc., offer convenient digital solutions for both customer and company to make virtual payments using a mobile wallet. 

What is a Mobile Wallet?

The mobile wallet is an application that can be installed on a smartphone and stores all user information regarding debit/credit cards, coupons, or reward cards on the mobile device. This info can then be accessed using a Personal Identification Number (PIN), QR code set by the user or by linking an image of the owner with the wallet. 

Consumers can then use this info to make payments at a merchant site by using a technology called Near Field Communication (NFC), which uses radio frequencies to communicate with electronic devices. The mobile wallet transfers the payment info to the merchant Point-of-Service (POS) terminal by waving or holding an NFC-enabled mobile device over the store’s NFC reader. 

Is Apple Pay a mobile wallet?

Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Android Pay are examples of mobile wallets that can be installed on a smartphone or other hand-held devices. 

Should I have more than one mobile wallet?

With the usage of mobile wallets having increased over the past few years, it is highly beneficial to keep more than one mobile wallet as merchant sites may or may not accept a particular payment method. For e.g., Paytm accepting merchants may not agree to transact via Google Pay, and vice-versa. This causes unnecessary inconveniences while making in-store purchases and hence, many users prefer to keep multiple mobile wallets on their hand-held or wearable devices. 

TraQiQ offers digital solutions to help large corporations across the world serve their customers better. Its robust mobile wallet enables users to manage and control finances through a convergent platform where they can virtually store and use financial assets. It also offers solutions that payment service providers need to launch and scale their businesses.

With the coronavirus lockdown keeping restaurants closed and would-be diners at home, takeaway food options are booming in India, and there are signs that the shift toward home-delivered food is here to stay. However, do not fire your cook yet? We all need a job during these crisis-driven times! 

Ordering food online has become so popular and inexpensive that it may soon edge out cooking at home as the preferred way to get a meal on the table. When time is factored in, a meal ordered online could close in or beat the cost of home-cooked food. 

Four factors that point in this direction are mentioned below: 

  • Increased ease of delivery: Apps like Uber Eats, Zomato, etc. are making online food delivery affordable, convenient, and efficient.
  • More personalization offered in ordering food online: Consumers can decide on cuisines that they would prefer on any given day-the options are limitless.
  • An influx of virtual restaurants: Cloud kitchens or commercial cooking facilities that have no physical dining space and cater only to deliver orders placed online are projected to become a $2 billion industry in India by 2024-that is up from $400 million in 2019.
  • Improved data usage by eateries: Improved data analytics help restaurants to analyze and convert data points into meaningful insights, which can help improve menus, staff training, restaurant policies, and even marketing campaigns.

As lives get busier, one of the first daily tasks that tend to take a hit is making home-cooked meals from scratch. Online ordering is growing rapidly as apps like Uber Eats make it possible to order from restaurants that previously did not offer delivery. Calling online food delivery, a “megatrend” is an understatement, as it can be an important part of our subsistence and sustenance.

Work From Home Initiatives Take Centre Stage During COVID-19

With most organizations grappling with harsh COVID-19 lockdowns, the work from home option is playing a major role in ensuring that services continue uninterrupted. With rapid advancements in connectivity over the past 5 years, technology has ensured that ordinary workflow is not obstructed. 

With lockdown restrictions gradually being eased, most employees are looking forward to getting back to their offices, however, many multinational corporations like Google, Facebook etc. still have their finger on the safety button allowing employees to work from home for most of 2021. Even mid-capped and smaller companies are enjoying this flexibility and keeping their operational options open. 

Many online platforms like Zoom, Webex and Microsoft Teams have gained prominence, and even old-age applications like Skype have seen a resurgence during these times. These applications have made communication easier, more secure, and easily available to employees. 

Work from Home is widely considered to be a containment option to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Although the virus caught most companies off-guard, they responded with tact and speed and the WFH initiative has proven to be highly productive and resulted in lower operational costs. It has also given much insight into the world of remote working and how technology can be used to leverage the smooth functioning of multinationals during a crisis. 

Organizations have seen a major boost in morale with employees enjoying flexible schedules, custom working environments, etc. Productivity has increased with fewer office distractions and increased focus on the job at hand. Time and money saved on commuting is another reason for employees to rejoice. Staying indoors also means more time with loved ones or simply getting some quiet time for yourself. 

One could always argue that the grass is always greener on the other side, but with cases rising every day, 2021 may not see companies rushing to return to pre-COVID work models. 

During these uncertain times, TraQiQ offers premier AI-powered solutions for the world’s top e-commerce retailers which identifies digital transformation strategies needed by companies to serve their customers better, and trends which could have an impact on their business.

Powering Digital Transformation with Analytics

The retail analytics market is growing at a rapid rate. As per a report by Research and Markets, the global retail analytics market is expected to grow at a rate of 18% from 2019 to 2025 and will be valued at over $9.5 billion in five years. Multiple factors are driving this growth which includes adopting cloud-based software, IoT, and even AI-driven solutions.

As per a report by Gartner, a whopping 90% of corporate strategies consider information as a critical enterprise asset and analytics as an essential competency. Companies are investing more in this space and consider data and analytics as a solution to gain a competitive edge over others in the market. 

Nowadays, customers are more empowered and connected than ever before and it is becoming increasingly important for companies to obtain insight into customer buying behavior.

Should a Company Build its Last-Mile Distribution Network or Partner up?

Should a Company Build its Last-Mile Distribution Network or Partner up?

Last-mile delivery aims to transport or deliver an item to its recipient in the quickest way possible. Consumers look for alternatives if a company fails to deliver top-notch supply chain services which include user-friendly last-mile delivery software. The success, and perhaps the survival of a business depends on keeping their customers happy, which is what makes the last-mile distribution network so important. 

COVID-19 has altered many aspects of our daily lives and nothing is more noticeable than the soaring demand for last-mile delivery. Once regarded as a ‘valuable addition’ has slowly transformed into a ‘must-have’ capability. It has become increasingly important for a business to differentiate themselves from others in their last-mile delivery strategy. 

While most of the bigger companies look to build and develop their last-mile delivery network, it has been seen that some of the smaller companies prefer to partner up with DNCs to handle the delivery. 

The traditional approach to last-mile delivery which is owning an operational fleet poses a high risk and added costs whereas a delivery network carrier (DNC) model enables retailers to transfer a portion of the risks to one or more DNC providers. DNC providers often adopt a “gig” mindset, which allows companies to transact and operate at a fraction of the cost of retaining and operating a delivery fleet. 

During these uncertain times with evolving business landscapes, the rapid development of technologies, and increasing customer expectations, an appropriate solution today might not be the right choice tomorrow. Careful consideration is required when deciding on the right delivery model for your business.

From Conversation to Conversion: How AI-powered Chatbots are Driving Growth in Banking

The future of banking and many other industries has become entwined with the rise of conversational AI. Businesses are trying to integrate AI with their operational strategies and banks are no exception. Evolving customer expectations and a need for personalized and fulfilling digital experiences are driving banks to conceptualize, test, and deploy new consumer tools. Chatbots are one such tool within this realm that is fueling a new era of conversational banking. 

Let us take a closer look at how AI-powered chatbots are positively impacting the banking industry.

Lower operational costs:

In the long run, chatbots prove to be less expensive than human staffers. There is an initial expense which is incurred by an organization for the development of chatbots with periodic upgrades that enable them to serve customers across various touch points. Comparatively, the cost to train and employ voice executives is much higher.

An intuitive interface:

By mimicking human patterns of interaction and learning from each engagement, chatbots enable us to seamlessly communicate with enterprises and quickly execute financial tasks in a manner that is personalized and intuitive.

Speedy resolution of queries:

Speed is another factor that has made chatbots so popular with customers. Imagine waiting in a never-ending queue to talk to a voice executive as compared to an instantaneous response from an AI-powered chatbot. 

Personalized advice using Analytics:

Some of the more complex AI platforms are well-equipped to manage your financial portfolio. Using analytics, AI chatbots are capable of analyzing all your data and delivering insights that can improve your financial management. 

24/7 customer support:

By adopting chatbots to serve the digital customer, banks can now boast of always being available for their customers.

As chatbots learn to handle more complex queries, they enable us to reduce the human footprint of your customer support division, saving you time and resources. TraQiQ can help in building the right dashboards for AI-based decision-making tools or build real time systems that monitor data feeds. 

Our analytics solutions can help you with data preparation, mining, management, and visualization. Insights from this data can be used to improve customer experience, result in better business operations, and provide the right target audience for marketing initiatives.

Mobile Wallet Trends that will Shape the Future of Digital Payments

Mobile wallets have gradually evolved from being a niche payment method for consumers who are digitally-savvy, to a payment method that is mainstream. Innovations in technology have diversified how and where mobile wallets can be used which has led to their rapid growth in the past 5 years. As per a report, the mobile wallet transaction value is set to reach a staggering figure of nearly 14 trillion USD by 2022, worldwide. 

Future trends for mobile wallets reveal that advances in this field might eliminate the need for paper money altogether. Here, we aim to highlight some of the top trends that will influence the growth of mobile wallets across the globe, help in making payments more secure and convenient, and pave the way for a digital future. 

Top 5 trends:

Banking through Mobile Apps:

Mobile wallets were first introduced in 2014 via Apple Pay and owing to its success, competitors designed and launched their own apps like Android Pay, Microsoft Wallet etc. This has led to the spawn of many apps which have ditched traditional methods of payment and adopted mobile payments as a vision for the future. Traditional banking Institutions have also worked to develop mobile wallets for customers to assist and improve their banking experience. 

Loyalty Rewards:

Everyone likes being rewarded, and many banking institutions and retailers have started offering discounts and rewards to customers each time they use their mobile wallets. It is a way to incentivize customers to remain loyal to their brand. Retailers across the world are expected to follow suit or get left behind. 

Near Field Communication (NFC):

The security and simplicity of NFC technology have been the greatest inspiration for digital payment solutions. It greatly reduces the time and effort needed to carry out multiple transactions. 

Artificial Intelligence (AI):

Due to advances in this field, AI is being used by companies across the world to manage routine interactions with their customers. For e.g., Chat bots &voice instructions greatly reduce the need to speak with an agent, thereby reducing operational costs.

Crypto currency:

Crypto currency eliminates the need for a third party in the payment process which makes transactions secure and convenient. Businesses that adopt this tech can expect to thrive better than those that do not.

As consumers become more proficient with tech and keep these trends in mind, payments through mobile wallets will be the new future. Additionally, we can also expect rapid growth of digital banking solutions, remote bank accounts and even digital credit cards. 

TraQiQ offers digital solutions to help large corporations across the world serve their customers better. A robust mobile wallet enables users to manage and control finances through a convergent platform where they can virtually store and use financial assets.

How to Drive Successful Digital Migration

Digital Migration has become a necessity rather than an option for most enterprises as companies look for the right tools to successfully execute their operations. Paving the way for an automated and a digitally connected world, companies need to ‘digitally transform’. 

However, traversing this path is often met with obstacles and viewed with apprehension. If your enterprise is contemplating a migration to digital services, there are a few principles one should keep in mind to drive this transformation while keeping collateral to a minimum with respect to the company’s business strategies and operations. 

Connecting the dots:

As an organization, one needs to successfully match the company’s overall business strategy with the migration strategy which will drive digital transformation. This is normally done to achieve a sort of harmony between the two and create an eco-system where both can co-exist and grow.

Putting the customer first:

It is essential that organizations remain customer-centric and realize that customers form the backbone of their enterprise. Taking a few steps in the shoes of the customer never hurts anyone and provides necessary insights into their needs and wants. Understanding how digital transformation can increase your customer database rather than decrease is of prime importance and this can only be done by creating a pleasant experience for both your customers and your business.

Evaluate and adapt your strategy:

It is essential that organizations regularly evaluate their business needs to avoid common traps like inflated costs, extravagant manpower requirements etc. which obstruct successful migration.

‘Inclusiveness’ is the need of the hour:

Companies need to make sure that their employees are on the same page regarding the ‘digital migration’ of their organization. Everyone needs to be aware of how they can play a part in this transformation and construct a meaningful ‘digital connect’ for their enterprise.

Owing to the pandemic, digital transformation has become the norm for many businesses and adopting an effective migration strategy could be key for driving positive change in this ‘digitally connected’ world. 

TraQiQ can help create a viable road map for your company with a robust ‘Digital Transformation’ strategy. With powerful AI solutions and analysis of current market trends, our strategy team can help facilitate growth for your organization at a ‘digital’ level and help you kick-start your transformation journey.
