Professional consulting giant Accenture Global Solutions may be considering using blockchain to streamline and automate shipping logistics.
According to a document published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Thursday, the proposed system would determine certain types of attributes for objects being shipped and store that information on a blockchain.
The proposed system will then track the objects as they are shipped from one location to another, using the data stored on the ledger to confirm the objects’ status and condition.
The system can also create alerts and messages for managers involved in the shipping process or government agencies that regulate the product.
Last summer, Accenture and Microsoft launched a prototype of an identity-storage blockchain and is currently working with the World Economic Forum and the United Nations on projects concerning digital identity.
