What sectors is blockchain technology involved with?
Blockchain technology has been disrupting a wide range of industries and sectors, from finance and banking to retail, healthcare, defence, and others. It has been implemented to enable faster digital transactions and exchanges without involving any third-party; data is securely stored in distributed ledgers with encryption. Fortunately, blockchain technology has enormous potential in the logistics sector where it speeds up the entire process of goods shipments and delivery by tracking them continuously. It allows better management with accurate tracking of goods or products at various steps involved in shipment while also optimizing its efficiency; one can even track the equipment used for shipment like containers. This technology is being embraced by many logistic companies interested in making their operations more efficient, secure and cost-effective.
