Blockchain technology is a digital record-keeping mechanism that makes it easier and safer for businesses with supply chain operations to work together over a shared network. In supply chains, blockchain can document a transaction every time a product or asset changes hands. From the product being made at a manufacturing plant to being picked off the shelf in the warehouse to being delivered to a retail location to ultimately being purchased by the customer. Each chain of events can be documented for traceability, accountability, security, and documentation that leads to enhanced operational efficiencies in the work force.
