Existing Supply Chain Management Issues & Logistics

Existing Supply Chain Management Issues & Logistics
Even though the idea behind sales chains sounds simple, the distribution process is much more complicated. This system consists of people, enterprises, functions, and shared data. The distribution process lacked innovation and transparency, but there are new challenges to deal with.
Stock management issues, risks of theft, and problems with recalling are the most popular problems. Enterprises from the industry also require solutions that increase end-to-end supply chain traceability and security and prevent fraudulent activities. Finally, there is a demand for anti-counterfeiting systems that enable data integrity and checking goods’ provenance.

The Challenges of Blockchain for Supply Chain & Logistics

Seamless integration with numerous data sources Seamless integration with numerous data sources
To maintain a complete history of supply chain and logistics finance transactions, purchase orders, goods provenance, storage conditions, location, and manufacturing processes, blockchain has to gather supply chain and logistics data constantly. Hence, the solution needs to have features that would allow it to easily integrate with all the necessary systems, including legacy ones, of numerous participants of the blockchain network.
Formalization of business rules in smart contracts Formalization of business rules in smart contracts
Once the smart contract is deployed, its conditions that enable automated execution of further supply chain transactions in the blockchain network become immutable. Thus, if the formalization of business rules in smart contracts is imprecise, it may cause incorrect data and payment flow between participants of the supply chain.
Blockchain adoption Blockchain adoption
Blockchain technology has to be adopted by all participants of the supply chain and logistics. Hence, it will prevent a lack of data and empower end-to-end supply chain and logistics traceability.
Non-transactional data storage Non-transactional data storage
Non-transactional supply chain and logistics data, e.g., media files, supplier information, and purchasing and transportation documents, is too big to be stored in the blockchain effectively. Still, the data needs to stay transparent and easily accessible for any participant in the supply chain.

Our Industries

Healthcare Supply Chain & Logistics
Healthcare Supply Chain & Logistics
Blockchain allows healthcare providers to store sensitive data in a decentralized digital ledger, thus enabling both patients and doctors to access records easily and safely maintain them. Healthcare organizations may also use blockchain to supervise fraudulent medical trials and untrustworthy information.
Streamlining the entire workflow is another advantage of blockchain in healthcare as it allows medical care providers to use the patient index to avoid duplicating clinical records. In addition to this, the entire supply chain from drug producers and wholesalers to patients and doctors may be effortlessly traced and merged into business processes since all transactions happen through transparent platforms.

Pharmaceuticals Supply Chain & Logistics
Pharmaceuticals Supply Chain & Logistics
Pharmaceutical companies may use blockchain technology to reduce overall costs, prevent counterfeit medicines from entering the chain, and minimize patient risks by responding rapidly to medication recalls.
Blockchain allows pharma companies to track drugs throughout the entire supply chain by unique serial numbers. Hence, all the updates are recorded in the network ledger by individual serial numbers, and the ledger acts as a secured source of truth that reduces the risks of malicious actors. Such visibility helps pharmaceutical companies find vulnerabilities that make it possible for counterfeit medicines to enter the supply chain.
Pharma companies that utilize blockchain-based solutions may also react more quickly and efficiently to medication recalls, minimize patient risks, cut financial losses by accurately identifying dangerous medications, find the points of contamination during manufacturing, and more.
