| I'm investigating this at my company so I can share a couple of ideas. Our system is used by a series of companies to manage the performance of their supply chain (keeping this very vague to avoid breaching NDAs). We generate reports which show the performance. as our system sees it. However, what if a supplier were to bribe us to change the report? I have heard third-hand of this happening before in our industry so that's not as crazy as it sounds. And what if the client were to change performance criteria mid-way through a contract? The supplier might now be showing poor performance where this is totally unfair. This is where a blockchain might be helpful. If we publish these reports to the private blockchain shared between us, the customer and the supplier, the customer can verify the blockchain at any time to prove that this has not happen. Finally, the supplier can see if terms are updated and this is permanently stored in the chain. Effectively, if three parties might not trust each other, then blockchain might be a good option to keep people honest. |
