Decentralized Carrier Performance Network

Disputes over late deliveries, damaged goods, and temperature excursions are a major source of administrative waste and strained relationships. Our network provides an immutable, time-stamped audit trail for every shipment event, from pickup to final proof of delivery.

• Automated verification of on-time performance against the contract.
• Smart contracts automatically validate compliance with SLAs, reducing manual claim processing by up to 70%.
• Real-world example: A major CPG company reduced its annual freight audit and dispute resolution costs by $2.1M by using blockchain-verified delivery data.

Move beyond static scorecards and anecdotal references. Build a dynamic, data-driven carrier selection process based on real-time, verifiable performance history.

• Access a decentralized reputation system where performance data is contributed and validated by the network of shippers.
• Smart RFPs can automatically filter and rank carriers based on on-time performance, damage rates, and compliance for specific lanes.
• This shifts procurement from a quarterly negotiation to a continuous performance optimization loop, improving service reliability by 15-25%.

Prove provenance and handle compliance for sensitive shipments (pharma, food, high-value goods) without costly manual processes. The network creates a tamper-proof chain of custody.

• IoT sensor data (temperature, humidity, shock) is immutably logged to the blockchain at each handoff.
• Automated compliance reporting for regulations like FDA DSCSA or FSMA 204, slashing audit preparation time.
• Real-world example: A pharmaceutical distributor uses this to provide irrefutable proof of cold-chain integrity to regulators and end customers, protecting brand value and avoiding recalls.

The traditional 60-90 day payment cycle strains carrier relationships and your AP department. Implement instant, automated settlements upon verified delivery.

• Smart contracts release payment automatically once GPS and POD data confirm successful delivery, as defined in the digital contract.
• Carriers get paid in days, not months, improving their cash flow and your negotiating leverage.
• Your finance team automates invoice reconciliation, reducing processing costs by ~$15-25 per invoice.

Transform adversarial carrier relationships into strategic partnerships. Shared, transparent data aligns incentives and drives continuous improvement across your entire logistics ecosystem.

• Carriers are incentivized to perform well to build their on-chain reputation score, which leads to more business.
• Predictive analytics on network data help you and your carriers proactively identify and mitigate risks on specific routes.
• This creates a virtuous cycle of performance, reducing overall transportation costs by 5-12% through improved efficiency and reduced failures.

Avoid vendor lock-in with proprietary TMS platforms. Our decentralized network is built on open standards, allowing seamless data exchange between your existing ERP, TMS, WMS, and carrier systems.

• Single integration point to connect all logistics partners, replacing dozens of custom EDI mappings and APIs.
• Data sovereignty is maintained; you control access to your commercial data while contributing anonymized performance metrics.
• This foundation enables rapid adoption of emerging tech like autonomous vehicles and AI-driven routing, with performance automatically recorded to the chain.

Replace manual, dispute-prone OTP reporting with smart contract-based verification. GPS and IoT data automatically trigger performance scores and dynamic payment terms. For example, a carrier with a 98% OTP rate could automatically receive a 2% bonus, while chronic delays trigger penalties, all without manual intervention. This creates a transparent, self-enforcing Service Level Agreement (SLA).

Eliminate days of payment float and costly invoice reconciliation. Digital Proof of Delivery (POD)—signed via a driver's mobile app—is recorded immutably on-chain. This triggers an automated invoice and enables instant settlement options. Real-world pilots by Maersk and IBM's TradeLens have shown this can reduce payment cycles from 45+ days to under 24 hours, freeing up working capital.

Dramatically reduce the cost and time of cargo claims. From pickup to delivery, asset condition and chain of custody are logged on an immutable ledger. In a damage claim, all parties instantly access the same auditable timeline, pinpointing responsibility. Smart contracts can automate partial payouts or trigger insurance. This reduces claims processing time from weeks to days and cuts administrative overhead by over 50%.

A focused 6-month pilot with 3-5 key carriers can prove value. Target a specific lane or product category. Measurable KPIs include:

• Reduction in Days Sales Outstanding (DSO)
• Lower cost of invoice reconciliation (target: 70% reduction)
• Improved carrier performance via transparent incentives
• Audit readiness for compliance (e.g., FDA FSMA 204, CTPAT). This builds the business case for a full-scale rollout.
