Case Study: MilliporeSigma boosts cannabis certification trust with Netguru's blockchain-powered CertForward platform

MilliporeSigma launches CertForward in 4 months with NetGuru

MilliporeSigma, the life science business of Merck KGaA, faced the challenge of low standards and questionable product quality in the North American cannabis market, where trustworthy certification data was hard to find. To elevate these standards and introduce food market-like certification transparency, they partnered with vendor NetGuru to build a blockchain-powered web platform.

NetGuru designed and developed the CertForward platform, a secure, tamper-proof application for receiving, uploading, and sharing Certificates of Analysis. The solution was built, tested, and pushed to production within a firm four-month timeline. The successful launch resulted in a trustworthy medium for certificate distribution that was immediately deployed through MilliporeSigma’s marketing channels, effectively addressing issues of certificate manipulation and preparing the platform for future regulations.
