Hublock, a provider of software solutions for data-sharing, has become the latest member of the Blockchain in Transport Alliance (BiTA).
According to a statement from BiTA, which determines best practices and standards for the use of blockchain in the transportation industry, blockchain helps companies to digitally identify and track transactions, contracts and shipments, making operations more transparent and reliable.
Blockchain is also capable of creating new revenue streams, by improving such areas as fleet management and customer experience.
Hublock will apply its deep engineering knowledge and logistics experience to BiTA, in order to create viable blockchain solutions for the whole industry.
Dean Croke, BiTA, has discussed what blockchain could mean for logistics in a recent Port Technology technical paper
Finding new uses for blockchain in the logistics sector aligns with Hublock’s focus on data-sharing as a means of solving industry issues.
Hublock uses data to create optimized solutions and automated workflows for logistics companies, and can implement technologies such as blockchain alongside machine learning to enhance business performance.
As part of BiTA, Hublock will look for ways to leverage blockchain and data-sharing in areas such as supply chain management.
