Data Integrity in the Supply Chain Using Blockchain

Learn about supply chain using blockchain for the data integrity to store and alter the data

Blockchains, which are distributed, immutable ledgers with full tracking capabilities, have the potential to revolutionize a lot of aspects of almost every industry. Supply chains are one of the most obvious, and since almost every industry uses them, the blockchain revolution will affect almost every industry.

Let's have a look at the process of the supply chain using blockchain for data integrity. As usual, I'll give real-world examples of how things can work.

Tracking of Provenance:

Imagine a world in which a buyer could follow a product from its origin to the shelf from which it was purchased. Public blockchains that are extremely scalable make it possible to live in such a world.

Unreliable data provided by parties along supply chains is currently one of the biggest problems. With responsible parties cryptographically signing to verify its accuracy, accurate data can be ascertained at every step in the supply chain thanks to blockchain technology.

Quality Control:

Every business care about quality assurance, whether it's US$1 million sports cars or US$0.10 trinkets. Businesses are also all too familiar with the shifting of blame and transferring of responsibility that can occur when irregularities are discovered or products vanish.

Counterfeiting and fraud:

When we talked about De Beers diamonds earlier, we briefly talked about how blockchain can be used to authenticate goods. Let's go over that now. Misrepresentation and forging are boundless issues across a wide range of supply chains, causing a wide range of devastation.

The solution lies in immutable utility blockchains:

Honestly, the utilization cases framed above just start to expose what's conceivable. Additionally, smart contracts for real-time tracking and sustainable supply chains can be established using blockchains.
