This book investigates how the Blockchain Technology (BCT) for
Supply Chain Finance (SCF) programs allows businesses to come
together in partnerships and accelerate cash flows throughout the
supply chain. BCT promises to change the way individuals and
corporations exchange value and information over the Internet,
and is perfectly positioned to enable new levels of collaboration
among the supply chain actors.

The book reveals new opportunities stemming from the application
of BCT to SCF financing solutions, particularly reverse factoring
– or approved payables financing. To do so, it first identifies
the principal barriers and pain points in delivering financing
solutions. Then, a possible blockchain-driven supply chain model
is defined.

Using this framework, the book subsequently discusses relevant
use cases for the technology, which could open up new
opportunities in the SCF space. It demonstrates that blockchain
and distributed ledgers technologies could deliver substantial
benefits for all parties involved in SCF transactions, promising
to expedite the processes and lower the overall costs of
financing programs.

Industry giants such as IBM, Maersk, China-based Dianrong and
FnConn (a Foxconn subsidiary) are currently working to digitize
the global, cross-border supply chain using blockchain
technology, and will likely soon create blockchain platforms for
supply chain finance. These solutions aim to reduce complexity
and make data sharing more secure, accurate and efficient. This
book offers a highly topical resource for stakeholders across the
entire supply chain, helping them prepare for the upcoming
technological revolution.
