There has been a lot of talk about blockchain in recent years.
However, the debate often remains abstract, while the real issue to be addressed is more concrete: understanding what it means, in practice, to record data in a distributed ledger and what role this type of tracking may or may not play within a complex supply chain.
In this video clip, Edoardo Calia, co-founder of Wiseside and CTO of Fondazione Links, takes us on a clear and concrete journey to understand:
- What blockchain is and how it works,
- How data is recorded, distributed and validated,
- What elements make it interesting for some supply chains, but less so for others.
Blockchain can be a useful component in a supply chain, especially when it is necessary to demonstrate the immutability of data and build trust among a small number of players who are highly motivated to collaborate.
But the real challenge in modern supply chains comes even earlier: collecting reliable data, integrating it across the entire ecosystem, and making it usable in daily operational processes.
Want to understand when blockchain is really useful and what more flexible and effective alternatives you can adopt in your supply chain?
