Introduction
Blockchain holds great promise for the Logistics & Supply Chain industry. The distributed ledger of blockchain could greatly enhance collaboration among shippers, carriers, and forwarders as well as producers and manufacturers. With blockchain transactions could be verified, recorded and coordinated autonomously without third parties. This holds the promise of eliminating a layer of complexity and introducing opportunities for reliable provenance tracking in the Logistics & Supply Chain Blockchain also holds the promise of cutting through the delays caused by “paper-based” documents being sent back and forth by post, email, and fax.
...
The Supply Chain Special Interest Group (SC-SIG) will be focused on applying distributed ledger technology in general, and Hyperledger technologies in particular, to supply chain track & trace, import/export, prevention of fake goods, customs, duties & tariffs.
Scope
The activities of the SC-SIG will include:
...
As with all Hyperledger Working and Special Interest Groups, the Logistics & Supply Chain SIG will be open to everyone and an inclusive environment for both technical and non-technical entities.
Work Products
We are open to what the “work products” of the group will be: documents, new project proposals, reports, demos. The aim is to bring the industry together and enable collaboration.
...
Another suggested project would be to work together on a Logistics & Supply Chain demo to be shown at the Consensus event in April 2019.
Collaborators (other groups):
This SIG will report its progress to the TSC and collaborate with other Hyperledger working groups, Linux Foundation staff, and the project maintainers.
...
This SIG will align and collaborate with other core Hyperledger working groups and projects especially in the areas of Architecture, Performance and Scalability, Identity and Smart Contracts and Integration.
