Blockchain technology has huge potential to decentralize trust in supply chains and bring measurable benefits and value to the public and private sectors. To unlock this potential, the Planport protocol was designed purposefully to tackle the main challenges which limit the fluent exchange of, and integrity of data in product supply chains. With supply chain data becoming increasingly fragmented, scalability and cost concerns of current decentralized solutions become evident.
Planport is a unique solution allowing IT providers in supply chains to set up blockchain supported data sharing in multi-organizational environment. It helps them build transparency beyond the “one step down, one step up” traceability principle. Furthermore, it improves the integrity of product data and drives efficiencies for stakeholders.
If you take a quick look around your office or home,there is a very high probability that most of the objects surrounding you came through some form of regional, national or global supply chain. The fact that you have very little information with regards to how those products made their way to you is just one of the signs that supply chains are facing more pressure to be transparent.. And most of those issues boil down to a very limited ability to share data along the entire supply chain.
Planport changes that with a decentralised protocol that is tailor made for sharing supply chain data based on blockchain. This brings a profoundly new way of building transparency in supply chains. Planportuses Blockchain and builds on well established industry standards from GS1 and provides a necessary foundation to build new value – increased trust, optimised supply chain efficiencies, automated compliance and enforce quality assurance processes.
Using Planport, all stakeholders can securely share their data and keep sensitive data fully encrypted at all times. By supporting global standards for data exchange (GS1, IoT, compliance standards), Planport assures compatibility with existing ERP systems, making implementation process quick and efficient. Finally, it is fully decentralised. It removes the possibility of collusions and introduces full accountability for the data provided.
