Blockchain-based Supply Chain Management System

Objective:

To improve transparency, traceability, and security in supply chain processes using blockchain technology.

What is it?

A system that uses blockchain (a decentralized, immutable ledger) to record every step of a product’s journey—from manufacturing to delivery—ensuring data cannot be tampered with.

Key Features:

Transparency: All parties (suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers) can access a shared, real-time record.

Traceability: Track the origin and path of products (helpful in food safety, counterfeit prevention, etc.).

Security: Data is encrypted and stored across multiple nodes, reducing fraud and unauthorized access.

Smart Contracts: Automate transactions based on predefined conditions (e.g., auto-payment when goods are delivered).

Technologies Used  

Front-end Technologies

React.js / Vue.js / Angular – For building the web dashboard to track products and processes.

Web3.js / Ethers.js – To connect front-end to Ethereum-based smart contracts.

. Backend Technologies

Node.js / Express.js / Python (Flask/Django) – For server-side logic, APIs, or admin panels.

RESTful APIs – To integrate third-party apps or mobile services.

How it works:

Each step in the supply chain logs a transaction on the blockchain.

Data includes location, timestamps, quantity, condition, and more.

All records are time-stamped and immutable.

Authorized users can view the full product history.

Benefits:

Reduces fraud and errors

Boosts customer trust

Improves efficiency and coordination

Enhances compliance with regulations
