Blockchain in operations for food service distribution: steps before implementation

What is it about?

The description of a real case concerning the possibilities of BT-SC can guide many managers, serving as an example and fostering ideas on how to conduct projects of this nature. The method adopted by the company, the description of flows, and the role of qualifiers in BT are practical examples and can be replicated by other organizations that wish to implement BT in their SC. The description of the managers’ fears and doubts, as well as where conflicts may occur, as in the issues of interpretations and failures in the records, illustrate situations that should be on managers’ agendas. Questions were posed that will require technical solutions, such as offline information handling, the respective software need to support the operation that needs to be connected to the BT, and the validators that guide the quality criteria and must be registered. This discussion is directly related to the practice of distribution in FS and cold-chain management, combined with the demands necessary to meet the requirements of BT.
