Due to the globalization of markets and emerging innovations in products and services, supply chain management can be quite complex.

Blockchain technology has introduced some interesting opportunities in the context of supply chain management. Blockchain increases visibility across the different stakeholders. Data visibility enables all involved entities to monitor activities and coordinate amongst each other. Among several applications, the administrative, financial, and logistical applications are particularly noteworthy. Thanks to blockchain and its properties, a transparent system can be achieved, where items can be tracked, and every step is verified. This eventually leads to significant cost savings. Moreover, non-fungible tokens enable companies to combat counterfeit.
