Global Trade & Supply Chains

Redesigning Trust In Supply Chains

Today's trade is complex and costly, still based on paper documents, siloed data and inefficient coordination.

At every point in the supply chain data must be verified before goods exchange custody. By leveraging IOTA's tamper-proof distributed ledger, trust can be established between actors and data integrity can be guaranteed.

The result is better, faster and more cost-efficient trade.
