After years of pilot programs, blockchain technology is finally moving from a buzzword to a practical tool for supply chain transparency. By creating an immutable, decentralized ledger of transactions, blockchain is being used to track shipments from origin to destination with irrefutable proof of provenance. This is particularly valuable for reducing fraud, verifying the authenticity of goods, and streamlining customs processes. For freight forwarders, this means less paperwork, faster dispute resolution, and a new level of trust with their clients. The focus is now on interoperability between different blockchain platforms to create a truly universal standard.
