After disrupting the digital currency, banking, health, retail and eCommerce industries, the blockchain technology has begun to find its way into a rising number of other innovative uses and applications including the automobile industry. Logistics companies are discovering they can get ahead of the game by using digital technologies like blockchain to improve visibility and security across many different applications. For example, CarBlock is the world's first blockchain-based transportation solution built on data generated by smart devices. CarBlock's circulation of car data on the blockchain is set to disrupt the entire connected car industry with the intention of providing a reliable and rich infrastructure for a multibillion dollar application market. Many industries are getting a grasp on blockchain technology as many feel it promises to have a huge impact on how companies do business in the near future which could disrupt and replace traditional payment and information-recording operations of today. Active tech companies today include: SinglePoint Inc. (OTC:SING), Marathon Patent Group Inc. (NASDAQ:MARA), Bank of America Corporation (NYSE:BAC), Pareteum Corporation (NYSE:TEUM), TrueCar Inc. (NASDAQ:TRUE).

SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB:SING) BREAKING NEWS: SinglePoint's subsidiary ShieldSaver signs agreement with CarFax to provide detailed information directly to CarFax while being able to pull data from the CarFax system to further efficiencies within the ShieldSaver mobile application. ShieldSaver is building relationships with industry leaders and rapidly expanding its presence across the nation through relationships with international airport parking lot management companies such as WallyPark and LAZ Parking.

ShieldSaver utilizes proprietary License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology to collect large quantities of important automotive and consumer data. There are many stakeholders that need access to this data; for instance, insurance companies have an interest in knowing that a windshield was actually in need of repair and that the repair was soundly completed. At the same time, much of the data collected is private and should only be shared with parties that have a legitimate need to access the data. As ShieldSaver expands its infrastructure, SinglePoint will provide the expertise to begin storing data in a blockchain based, distributed ledger with appropriate access controls to ensure that parties who need access can retrieve it in the most secure and efficient manner.

"We are excited for this new relationship with CarFax, we believe there is a lot of opportunity to expand the relationship with CarFax. They are a fantastic company, the absolute leader in their space and we look forward to a long, synergistic relationship," states Wil Ralston President SinglePoint.

SinglePoint recently completed the acquisition of ShieldSaver and with the capital infusion the company has already grown to new levels and continues to add value to SinglePoint through IP and revenue. The two companies are working together and have started development of the automotive data collection application that will ultimately tie into SinglePoint blockchain technology developments..
