Business Challenge
Logistics operations involve multiple stakeholders such as transporters, warehouses, distribution hubs, and customers. Managing coordination between them is difficult due to:
Delivery delays identified only after they happen
Bottlenecks at warehouses and transit points without clear accountability
Lack of trusted, shared data across partners
No standard system to track carbon emissions per shipment
Manual reports that are inaccurate and time-consuming
All logistics events are recorded on a permissioned blockchain network, ensuring trust, traceability, and accountability.
Our Solution
Smart Logistics Transformation Platform using Hyperledger Fabric
A blockchain-based logistics platform using Hyperledger Fabric that combines:
Predictive logistics delay tracking (rule-based)
Bottleneck identification across logistics stages
Carbon emission monitoring and reporting
All logistics events are recorded on a permissioned blockchain network, ensuring trust, traceability, and accountability.
Solution Architecture Overview
Hyperledger Fabric Network
Each logistics stakeholder operates as an authorized peer
Smart contracts enforce logistics workflows and validations
IoT & System Inputs
GPS tracking devices
Warehouse entry/exit systems
Vehicle fuel and distance data
Smart Contracts (Chain code)
Shipment creation and lifecycle tracking
Delay threshold monitoring
Bottleneck time calculations
Carbon emission calculations
Unified Dashboard
Real-time shipment visibility
Delay and bottleneck alerts
Carbon emission summaries
Key Features
Predictive Logistics Delay System (Rule-Based)
Each shipment has predefined transit timelines stored on blockchain
Smart contracts continuously compare:
Planned vs actual movement
Time spent at each logistics stage
If thresholds are exceeded:
Delay alerts are triggered
Stakeholders are notified early
Outcome: Delays are identified before final delivery failure, allowing preventive action.
Bottleneck Detection & Accountability
Blockchain records:
Warehouse entry and exit timestamps
Handling duration per hub
Transport waiting time
Smart contracts automatically detect:
Repeated delays at specific locations
Operational congestion points
Responsibility is clearly traceable
Outcome: Faster bottleneck resolution and process optimisation.
Smart Carbon Emission Control
Carbon emission values are calculated using:
Distance travelled
Vehicle fuel type and consumption standards
Emission data is:
Logged immutably on blockchain
Available per shipment, route, and partner
Enables comparison of high-emission vs low-emission routes
Outcome: Better sustainability reporting and greener logistics planning.
