Supply chain blockchain platform on cloud
Why Choose This Project?
Traditional supply chains suffer from lack of transparency, trust issues, and inefficiency in tracking goods. A blockchain-based supply chain platform solves this by providing tamper-proof records, real-time tracking, and trustless transactions. Deploying it on the cloud ensures scalability, global access, and high availability.
This project is a perfect blend of blockchain + cloud computing, helping students understand distributed ledgers, smart contracts, and cloud deployment models.

Working Flow
-
Product Registration
-
Manufacturer registers product details (ID, origin, batch info) → Blockchain ledger entry created.
-
-
Smart Contract Setup
-
Smart contracts define conditions (payment after delivery, temp checks for food/meds, etc.).
-
-
Logistics Tracking
-
Transporters update location, IoT devices push temperature/GPS data → stored on blockchain.
-
-
Retailer Verification
-
Retailer scans QR code → verifies authenticity and supply history via blockchain ledger.
-
-
Customer Transparency
-
Customers scan product → view origin, manufacturer, and transport history (provenance).
-
-
Automated Settlement
-
Smart contracts auto-release payments once delivery conditions are met.
-
-
Analytics & Reports
-
Dashboard shows delays, fraud detection, supplier performance, and compliance checks.
