Abstract The rapid advancement of digital technology has significantly impacted supply chain management (SCM). The integration of blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT) has introduced new levels of transparency, security, and traceability in supply chain operations. Blockchain provides an immutable and decentralized ledger that records every transaction across the supply chain, while IoT enables real-time tracking and monitoring of products, assets, and environmental conditions. The combination of these technologies enhances visibility, improves operational efficiency, and increases stakeholder trust. Blockchain ensures data integrity and accountability through decentralized and encrypted records, while IoT provides real-time data on product location, temperature, humidity, and handling conditions. Together, these technologies enable predictive analytics, automated inventory management, and streamlined compliance with regulatory requirements.
This paper explores how the combination of blockchain and IoT enhances supply chain transparency, improves operational efficiency, and increases stakeholder trust. It discusses the technological foundation of blockchain and IoT, their individual and combined applications in supply chain management, and the challenges involved in implementing these technologies, including interoperability, scalability, and data security. The paper also examines future directions for integrating blockchain and IoT to build more resilient, agile, and sustainable supply chains. The findings highlight that companies that successfully implement blockchain and IoT will gain a competitive advantage by reducing costs, improving traceability, and enhancing customer satisfaction.
