What is Blockchain?
Think of it as a digital ledger, shared
across a network of computers. Every
transaction is recorded in a block,
linked to the previous block, creating
an unbreakable chain of data. This
makes it virtually impossible to
tamper with or forge records.

How does it work in

Supply Chains?
Product tracking: Each item gets a
unique digital identity on the
blockchain, allowing real-time
tracking of its movement through the
supply chain. This provides valuable
insights into origin, storage
conditions, and even environmental
impact.

Blockchain in Supply Chain Management

Enhanced transparency: All participants
in the supply chain, from farmers to
manufacturers to retailers, have access to
the same data. This fosters trust and
collaboration, reducing paperwork and
disputes.
Combating counterfeiting: By verifying
the authenticity of products at each stage,
blockchain can significantly reduce the
risk of counterfeiting, protecting both
brands and consumers.
Improving efficiency: Automating manual
processes and streamlining data sharing
can lead to faster deliveries, lower costs,
and better inventory management.
Sustainable sourcing: Tracking ethically
sourced materials and ensuring fair labor
practices becomes easier with blockchain,
promoting responsible and sustainable
business practices.
