iOne Information Technology (iOne) began to invest in the construction of smart logistics blockchain platform in 2017, and cooperated with two largest logistic companies , and was supported by the Ministry of Economic Affairs A+ enterprise innovation and R&D plan in June 2018, and after the team's efforts, first smart logistics blockchain platform was released on December 12, 2018. In Taiwan
With the characteristics of blockchain and smart contract technology with data undeniable, non-serial, and distributed common ledger characteristics, the iOne Smart Logistics Blockchain Platform solves the problems of distributed synchronous ledger of logistics industry, as well as the integration of logistics information from the transaction initiation, transaction verification, transaction review, contract signing, transaction processing and even financial processing of logistics transactions.
The "iOne Smart Logistics Blockchain Platform" mainly uses the distributed synchronous ledger and immutable characteristics of blockchain technology and introduces smart contracts (Smart Contract) to solve the biggest pain point of the logistics supply chain for a long time, that is, paper form signing, information changes, resulting in follow-up reconciliation needs to spend a lot of manpower, and it is also the main reason why the efficiency of the entire logistics supply chain, whether it is logistics companies, suppliers, transportation companies and customers, cannot be improved. In addition, the information collected by the logistics blockchain platform is in line with the integrity of the data and traceable
Furthermore, through the blockchain smart contract technology, smart logistics blockchain platform will replace the logistics document operation, to achieve paperless document transactions and verification, all the confirmed information of the platform are saved in the blockchain, the logistics supply chain upstream and downstream related units are used as the basis for mutual transactions, and for the inventory transfer and service fee settlement basis,
Therefore, it is estimated that the introduction of smart logistics blockchain will save about NT$ 5 billion in costs per year for Taiwan's logistics industry, accounting for about 5% of the logistics output value, which can greatly improve the efficiency of the logistics supply chain.
Advantages of smart logistics blockchain platform
- Improve the timeliness of instant clearing and settlement of logistics services
- API instant information feedback, instant tracking, accelerated order progress information feedback
- The signature is paperless, and there is no need to sign the receipt and reply operation, as well as the intelligent signing of the logistics officer APP, the action digital signature, improve the delivery point delivery method, and improve the timeliness of the customer's signature and receipt return order operation
- Confirm the timeliness of reconciliation between logistics services and transportation data, and improve the timeliness of logistics cost reconciliation
- Complete upstream and downstream data storage and recording of the supply chain, and develop big data analysis
