Like fine wine, it\u2019s important with some products to know their exact and raw origin, plus precisely how they evolved, and exactly how and when they are delivered into customer’s hands. When your life is reflective of the success of your brand, it\u2019s a constant challenge to find and develop more flexible and cost-effective solutions, which basically means matching the right technology to your expectations. Blockchain is a great start for the supply chain industry, however, it can not handle large amounts of data which is a major problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So \u2026 how do you know when to make your move to modern technology? It\u2019s actually relatively easy. Simply ask yourself if you are as profitable as you or your shareholders expect, and if so, are you able to maintain the pace? If not, there\u2019s your answer and it\u2019s time to explore and expand new innovative solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example; On any second of any day, using Temporal and a suite of technologies such as Blockchain, AI, IoT etc, you can now instantaneously track your product whether it is moving by sea, air, or land, including watching in real time on a geo-location map, the last-mile delivery-vehicle, whether it\u2019s a truck, car, or bike, winding its way through rush hour traffic. If you want, you can also immediately pull up all the professional information about each person in the entire supply chain who touches your product for any reason, whether raw material, manufacturer\/processor, shipper, broker, etc., including their direct contact info if they provide it and if you have proper permissions. The best part is all this data will have have integrity, transparency and be extremely secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line that\u2019s good for your bottom line; Regardless of where you are, or with whom you do business, the smart choice today is to protect you interests by more effectively managing touch-points and full-circle communication with your suppliers, manufacturers, marketers, distributors, shippers, and everyone in your supply chain. Supply chain management now has the potential to be so intuitive and fluid that it feels more like art than it does science. Temporal is the perfect platform to help you manage the new era of Web 3.0 without making it complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an IPFS network each party in the supply chain can be assigned access to see the entire chain, or be given permission to only selective segments respective of their involvement. The network can be configured so each party has to sign off on each segment before the process moves to the next step in the chain. It can even be set up to require each party to run through a detailed pre-flight checklist just like an airline pilot. You could for example schedule that the supply chain user inspect the product and digitally sign off on model#, colour, quantity, shipping mode and destination even before the product is loaded into a shipping container, or at ANY STEP during manufacturing, packaging, or along the route. You could also require that the person receiving the container, digitally duplicate the process to ensure that all the info\/data is correct before they forward it to ground transport, or whatever the next carrier mode might be. It becomes an automated, AI innovative checks-and-balances process that saves everyone time and money respective of costly mistakes that often escalate exponentially down chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When tracking a product based on \u201cthe \u2018location\u2019 of the server where the data file with the product information resides\u201d, i.e., possibly and quite likely on a centralized cloud server owned by a third party, any discrepancy, say for example a the government that changes trade agreement regulations midstream, can be catastrophic when everyone downstream in the chain is not made aware of the change in a timely manner. As governments become more volatile, supply chains have to become more stable and transparent. The IPFS shift of power to the producer is subtle, but it carries heavy weight and can deliver positive consequences for everyone in the supply chain. Keep in mind too that last minute supply chain changes can also simply be because of a storm in the Atlantic. The reasons for changes are numerous, but the outcome is always the same \u2014 increased costs for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
