Abstract

The world nowadays and business processes, in particular, are changing towards digitalization and reduction of time-consuming processes. Provenance and safety of products are becoming key factors for customers’ trust, so traceability solutions are arising. One of the most up-and-coming disruptive technologies today is a Blockchain (BC). The aim of this article is to provide tentative framework of how to assess the level of success of BC technology in supply chain (SC) and the methods that should be used in such assessment. The fish SC will be used to illustrate the discussion and the traceability and trust issues will be enhanced. The pilot shows that BC can promote strategic alignment, provides convenience and could be used as market leverage issue by promoting traceability and consequently trust in the product available. Methods to be used or such endeavor are suggested. A future understanding of the importance for BC technology use, as a traceability provider from the perspective of a final customer, is detected as a path for further research .
