TradeLedger

TradeLedger = The Internet of Logistics implemented. Secure, auditable management of the Supply Chain - plus the generation of tailored management reports.

The Internet of Logistics: Instead of every single party, manufacturer, buyer and any other intermediary, all relying on their individual paperwork to manage a shipment from beginning to end, TradeLedger (employing Distributed Ledger Technology) allows stakeholders to see every step in an open, secure ledger.

The TradeLedger Platform

Distributed Ledgers plus the relevant Smart Contracts can: (a) provide the same trust as paper (b) be implementable in phases – continuing use of paper by some parties can be resolved by using QR on the paper document and/or converting the paper to pdf format (c) generate up to more than 80% efficiency (d) provide transparency, security and auditability and (d) be cheaper than legacy systems.

Using Microsoft's Power BI, data generated from the TradeLedger Platform together with data from other in-house management systems is then used to create the management reports that you need.

As a minimum, the cost per user to access the network is less than £100 p.a. – and the only hardware required is a smartphone.

Why Choose TradeLedger?

TradeLedger is not just a concept, it is now being deployed. It provides a working solution, relying not just on DLT but also domain knowledge of the supply chain process mirrored in the use of SmartContracts e.g.:

• Automated: invoice claims, delay advices, insurance claims, payment orders etc.
• Domestic as well as cross-border transactions
• Multi-device input
• Shipment monitoring (e.g. temperatures, time delays etc.)
• Tracking from order through to payment.

Power BI is then used to generate the reports that you need - in near real-time!
