Automation and fluidity of logistics transactions through blockchain technologies
Résumé
Logistics management relies on the development of strategies that promote the fluidity of logistics operations and transactions, which in turn rely on the advancement of dematerialization and digital data sharing.
However, a major obstacle to the implementation of these strategies is legal certification, especially when it comes to the execution of a contract between several partners involved in the entire supply chain. To overcome this obstacle, we propose the use of next-generation smart contracts (SCs), also known as smart legal contracts (SLCs), which have legal standing. The objective is to create a digital trust between the different partners, which would allow to automate and speed up the logistic transactions.
