Resolve issues faster. Build trust and stronger relationships. Businesses are strengthening supply chain networks with IBM Blockchain
Supply chain data is not always visible, available or trusted. IBM Blockchain helps supply chain partners share trusted data through permissioned blockchain solutions.
In times of disruption, this matters more than ever. Businesses and consumers want brands to guarantee product authenticity, while supply chain participants demand responsible sourcing and better visibility to minimize disputes.
Blockchain for supply chain solutions help supply chain leaders use data to handle the disruptions of today and build resiliency for the future.
Supply chain networks can be limited by one-up/one-down visibility. Through distributed ledger technology that provides a shared, single version of the truth, blockchain applications for your supply chain give permissioned participants greater visibility across all supply chain activities.
One unexpected event can cause a cascading array of supply chain disruptions. Blockchain-based supply chain solutions use smart contracts that automatically trigger when pre-defined business conditions are met. This gives near real-time visibility into operations, and the ability to take action earlier should there be an exception.
New supplier and provider onboarding is a time-consuming, manual experience for both buyers and sellers in a supply chain. IBM Blockchain supply chain solutions can speed this process through an immutable record of new vendor details that business network participants can trust.
