Blockchain-based Supply Chain Tracking

June 2023
Global Logistics Solutions
Duration:9 months

Overview

Developed an immutable supply chain tracking system using Ethereum and IPFS for end-to-end product verification and counterfeit prevention.

This blockchain solution provides complete transparency and traceability throughout the supply chain, allowing stakeholders to verify product authenticity and handling conditions at every step.

By leveraging Ethereum smart contracts and IPFS for decentralized storage, we created an immutable record system that prevents fraud while maintaining privacy controls for sensitive business information.

The implementation includes IoT integration for automated data capture, reducing human error and providing real-time visibility into shipment conditions and location.
