Usage of Blockchain in Canadian Supply chains
As COVID-19 took hold as a global pandemic, the integrity of supply chains were compromised. The robustness of supply chain integrity can be improved through improved organizational collaboration and communication. As organizations look to shore up their supply chains, by improving efficiencies and effectiveness, blockchain technologies may be a catalyst for change over the coming years.
Software that calculates sustainability metrics
Working with The Owl, the Centre for Supply Chain Innovation developed a software application that helps automate and simplify the calculation of sustainability metrics on post- or pre-shipments as carbon footprint or plastic pollution. With a specific focus in SME, sustainability frameworks are now more accessible in their daily decision-making processes.
