The challenge

Where teams get stuck

The problems we're most often brought in to solve.

  1. 01

    Disputed shared records

    Partners keep separate records that disagree, creating reconciliation effort and disputes.

  2. 02

    Commercial confidentiality

    Sensitive commercial data cannot be published on a public blockchain.

  3. 03

    Undefined network governance

    No one has agreed who runs nodes, admits members or approves changes.

Overview

Permissioned Ledgers at VulcanTech

A permissioned blockchain is a shared ledger in which only approved participants can read or write, suited to organisations that cannot use a fully public chain. VulcanTech engineers permissioned networks for sharing records with partners, suppliers or regulators, typically for supply-chain traceability, document verification and inter-company settlement. Access, privacy and governance rules are defined up front, and the network integrates with each participant's existing systems.

Key deliverables

  • Use-case and governance assessment
  • Permissioned network deployment
  • Chaincode or smart contracts
  • Integration APIs
  • Operations and monitoring configuration

    Confidential data shared only with authorised participants while proofs remain verifiable.

  • Chaincode and contracts

    Business rules for traceability, verification and settlement encoded in shared logic.

  • Identity and access management

    Certificate-based identities and role permissions for each organisation and user.

  • ERP and system integration

Our process

How we deliver

A delivery process you can see into — from first workshop to production support.

Book a free consultation
  1. 01

    Discovery

    A focused working session on your objectives, constraints and existing systems. It concludes with a scoped proposal and a clear view of value, risk and effort.

  2. 02

    Architecture & planning

    We agree the target architecture, data model and integration approach before product code is written, and secure your sign-off.

  3. 03

    Iterative delivery

    Working software reaches a staging environment on a regular cadence, giving stakeholders continuous visibility and the ability to steer priorities.

  4. 04

    Assurance & hardening

    Automated testing, accessibility and performance budgets, and a security review are completed before anything reaches production.

  5. 05

    Launch & continuity

    We manage cutover and remain engaged through an agreed support period, with a structured handover to your teams or ongoing operation by ours.

Engagement models

Work with us the way that suits you

Explore engagement models →
  • Outcome-based delivery

    A defined scope, timeline and commercial model agreed after discovery. We own delivery risk against the agreed outcomes.

    Best for: Well-defined initiatives, MVPs and first releases

  • Dedicated product teams

    A cross-functional pod — engineering, design, QA and delivery leadership — aligned to your roadmap and scaled as priorities change.

    Best for: Long-term product development and evolving roadmaps

  • Team extension

    Senior engineers embed in your organisation, work inside your processes and report to your leaders — on contracts that assign all IP to you.

    Best for: Adding specialist capability without growing headcount

Why VulcanTech

A partner, not a vendor

Senior engineering, honest delivery, and work we can name.

  • Senior engineers own delivery

    The engineers who scope your programme in discovery are the engineers who deliver it. There is no hand-off to a junior bench after contract signature.

  • Engagement models that fit

    Outcome-based delivery, dedicated product teams, team extension or global capability centres, matched to how your organisation prefers to work.

  • A verifiable track record

    Every customer story we publish describes real production work, naming the client wherever confidentiality allows, including public-sector platforms secured through competitive tenders.

  • 80+ projects in 16 countries

    Delivered since 2021 across the public sector, real estate, healthcare, manufacturing and consumer technology, for regulated and high-growth organisations alike.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can't find what you need? Ask us in the discovery session.

A permissioned ledger lets several organisations maintain the same tamper-evident record without any one of them controlling it, with each participant running nodes and validating changes. A shared database is simpler and faster but depends on trusting whoever operates it. We help you determine which model fits your partners, governance and audit requirements.
