Supply Chain has been immensely broken, unorganised and ripe for change. You can understand its impact by evaluating that for every US$1 in sales, the retailers have to maintain US$1.43 in stock. This could lead to a lot of inventory simply lying idle without any major contribution towards building a sustainable supply chain.

Blockchain, as a decentralized ledger technology presents a linear movement or product journey that is time stamped and immutable to evoke trust among consumers.

Suppliers are looking for a technology that can help them eliminate challenges in the supply chain. For example, when retailers are aware of the lag or inefficiency in the product journey at a specific level, they can eliminate that from the supply chain and help build a sustaining ecosystem built on top of trust.

With that being said, users can easily track the goods in circulation and make data driven decisions to influence their purchase.
Technology will not only protect the customer side but even the supplier side to build a sustainable supply chain. Blockchain has just envisaged a way out that could be transforming supply chain for an advanced future ahead.
