Syfan Logistics, a third-party logistics and transportation company, has joined the Blockchain in Transport Alliance (BiTA), an organization dedicated to determining best practices and standards for blockchain in the transportation/logistics/supply chain marketplace.
BiTA’s members include Descartes, Daimler, FedEx, SAP and Uber Freight among nearly 500 other companies/organizations. Syfan Logistics will bring its deep expertise in third-party logistics to the alliance and help develop blockchain-based solutions for the industry.
Blockchain technology enables transactions to be identified and tracked digitally and shared across a distributed network of computers. In the supply chain, blockchain enables participants to more effectively track goods and freight. Blockchain will allow transportation and logistics companies to operate in a more seamless and transparent manner. It can also help to create new revenue streams and value for customers by enabling a system of completing transactions, tracking shipments and managing fleets.
“Through our partnership with BiTA, we will be working alongside other leaders in the industry,” Syfan Logistics President Greg Syfan said. “It will allow us to help develop standards for how blockchain technology will be used.”
“Blockchain can transform the supply chain by improving transparency and innovation,” said Chris Burruss, President of BiTA. “On behalf of the members of BiTA, I welcome Syfan Logistics to the Alliance. Its expertise in third-party logistics will help BiTA develop and deploy blockchain standards.” Burruss also stated, “Blockchain technology has the potential to improve performance within the industry and improve the experience companies using blockchain provide their customers. Alliance members are working together towards this important goal.”
