Blockchain for Logistics Transparency Securing the Supply Chain Through Decentralization

This chapter examined the transformative role of blockchain technology in enhancing transparency and security within logistics and supply chain management. As global supply chains become increasingly complex and susceptible to issues such as fraud, data silos, and inefficiencies, blockchain offers a decentralized, tamper-proof ledger system that fosters trust, accountability, and real-time visibility across all stakeholders. The chapter explored how blockchain can mitigate long-standing logistical challenges by improving traceability, reducing counterfeiting, and optimizing coordination. Emphasizing both operational and ethical implications, it highlighted how blockchain adoption contributes to regulatory compliance, product authenticity, and sustainability.
