NPF Session: The Future of Blockchain in Trade and Logistics

Our panel did an exemplary job of breaking down blockchain technology and speaking to how it can apply to the USPS and global logistics.

Overview:
Managing today’s logistics supply chains is extraordinarily complex. Ensuring the efficient flow of goods, data, and payments across multiple locations still requires lengthy paper trails, various intermediaries and many manual processes, which makes it difficult to manage critical information such as the origin and status of shipments, causing frictions in global trade. Blockchain technology promises to reduce these frictions through greater process digitization, automation, traceability and transparency. Come join our panelists that will share insights on the unique attributes of Blockchain, its impact our industry, and how it will transform global logistics.

Note: WILDS sponsored this panel discussion as a luncheon event last year and it was extremely well received.
