How Blockchain will impact the Supply Chain

unchallengeable and authenticated transactions. The blockchain technology is an
open ledger wherein each transaction on the network is recorded and available
for all the parties involved in the network. These transactions can be viewed
and verified by all the entities involved. Thereby, blockchain removes the
requirement to transfer information among organizations through any other
communication channel. It unifies the information sharing within enterprises,
thus ensuring the transparency at each level of supply chain management.
