The Blockchain in Transport Alliance (BiTA) is pleased to announce that Sharelogis Trade Services China Ltd., the leading China-based provider of logistics services and supply chain solutions, has joined the Alliance. Joining BiTA expands Sharelogis’ opportunities to be at the forefront of blockchain technology standards.
New and improved technology continues to rapidly bring changes to the transportation and logistics marketplaces. In May 2017, Deloitte predicted that 10 percent of global GDP would be built on top of blockchain applications. For logistics and transportation, the technology may have an even bigger impact, promising to revolutionize this critically important $8 trillion global industry.
Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that provides consensus, provenance, finality and immutability of business transactions and digital assets. These characteristics enable participants in a blockchain ecosystem to benefit from increased trust, greater transparency and reduced friction.
“Working within the Alliance will give Sharelogis opportunities to partner with other BiTA members in Asia and across the world to co-create value that will directly enhance opportunities for our customers through continued technological innovation,” said Steven Du, President and CEO of Sharelogis. “Over the next decade, blockchain will change the way many of our customers and their industries perform. Sharelogis looks forward to being involved in BiTA.”
Soeren Duvier, Managing Director in Asia for BiTA, said, “China, is, of course a huge market. Blockchain has the potential to be as important to the Chinese economy as it can be to the rest of the world. We welcome Sharelogis as a BiTA member and look forward to its contributions to the BiTA Community.”
