The Challenge
Pain Points
- • Legacy bottlenecks
- • Security risks
- • Scalability issues
Context
A global logistics coordinator managing complex multi-modal shipments struggled with transparency and disputes between carriers, customs, and insurers.
The Problem
The reliance on paper documentation and siloed databases meant that verifying the chain of custody took days. Disputes over damaged goods were common and hard to resolve.
The Solution
We deployed a Hyperledger Fabric permissioned blockchain. IoT sensors on shipping containers write location and temperature data directly to the ledger, creating an immutable single source of truth.
