Smart Contract-Based Blockchain Technique for Logistic Shipping Management System

Abstract

The logistics industry is a vital component of the global economy, but it still faces several challenges, including inefficient processes, lack of transparency, and high costs due to intermediaries. Blockchain technology has the potential to address these challenges by providing a decentralized and transparent platform that can automate and streamline logistics processes through smart contracts. This research paper presents a study on Logistics shipping based on the blockchain using smart contracts in Solidity language. The paper discusses the challenges in the logistics industry and the potential of blockchain technology to solve them. It then presents a Smart Contract for Logistics shipping, including the required variables, a struct for shipments, a mapping to hold the shipments, events for shipment creation and delivery, and functions to create a new shipment, mark a shipment as delivered, and get the shipment details. The paper also discusses the benefits and limitations of the proposed solution on logistics systems. It concludes that the proposed solution can provide a secure, transparent, and efficient platform for logistics shipping that can eliminate intermediaries, reduce costs, and improve the overall logistics ecosystem.
