Republic Systems is unique in our dedication to Open Innovation, Crowdsourcing, and Technology Towards Sustainability.
Open Innovation
Republic Systems seeks out experts that are external to your company or industry to help develop groundbreaking solutions to your internal challenges. Open innovation can decrease costs, improve time to market, and broaden revenue streams.
Crowdsourcing
Republic Systems’ founders are pioneers in the field of crowdsourcing, which employs the strongest and most robust crowdsourcing platforms to generate a wealth of powerful ideas and solutions from top talent around the globe.
Technology Towards Sustainability
As global environmental conservation takes on new urgency, Republic Systems uses technology to harness the power of data and apply it to the growing demand for supply chain transparency.
Our Process
At Republic Systems, our program managers work with you to refine your project’s goals and identify the right platform.
Using mature open source software and online technical communities, our program managers search an extensive talent pool to identify the right technical specialists for your project.
We manage the project’s production and delivery in a process that is faster, less expensive, and higher quality than traditional in-house or outsourced development methods.
Collaborations
Republic Systems is an Advisory Member of the Seafood Task Force, a pre-competitive collaboration tackling critical sustainability issues that cannot be solved by individual companies alone.
According to the 2018 Seafood Task Force Progress Report, “TruTrace, a modular electronic traceability system, has been developed for the Seafood Task Force through support from the World Wildlife Fund, Republic Systems and members.”
In May 2017, the World Wildlife Fund in cooperation with the STF engaged Republic Systems to develop a method of tracking and tracing Thai farmed shrimp and the shrimp feed through all stages of production, processing and distribution, including the ability to verify history, location or application of any item by means of documented, recorded identification. This system would replace the existing paper-based trace system, which was inefficient due to its associated time lag, the ability to alter the forms, and lack of contextual data.

Republic Systems has contributed to the Accenture report “Tracing the Supply Chain: How blockchain can enable traceability in the food industry.”
The report is funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, whose mission is to foster path-breaking scientific discovery, environmental conservation, patient care improvements and preservation of the special character of the Bay Area.
According to the report, “Accenture and the Moore Foundation recognize the valuable insights of the members of the study’s Advisory Committee, including representatives from the World Wildlife Fund, IBM, SAP, Microsoft, Republic Systems, and Synapse Nexus. “
