BUSINESS CASE
Atlas for Logistics
Frictionless digital logistics
IoT, Artificial Intelligence, and Mobile are creating new ways to better manage supply chains but the adoption of new operational models such as the physical internet, synchromodality, or control towers are inducing even more challenging transformations in core platforms.
As enterprises connect dynamically with more suppliers, customers, and markets than ever before, business must be contracted, delivered, and settled in real time. There is no time for long onboarding processes, cumbersome paperwork, manual entries, avoidable disruptions, and complex reconciliations.
Actionable data, including route options, pricing, available stock, and more, must be available right when it’s needed so partners can always choose the fastest, cheapest, or closest solution at any time to fit their immediate needs.
Sky Republic built Atlas as the right blockchain platform for Digital Supply Chains to automate collaborative processes, track assets end to end, and reconcile records. Atlas takes blockchain a step further, to overcome the process and data fragmentation induced by point-to-point EDI and API.
Atlas synchronizes supply chains in real time, so business is done faster, disruptions are more easily mitigated, shippers have end-to-end visibility, and frictions are reduced through the automated reconciliation of invoices, SLAs, and penalties.
So you can easily implement your most important use cases, Atlas provides the best features of Ethereum, Fabric, Corda, and middleware right out of the box.
