Abstract

Logistics services involve a wide range of transport operations between distributors and clients. Currently, the large number of intermediaries are a challenge for this sector, as it makes all the processes more complicated. In this paper we propose a system that uses smart contracts to remove intermediaries and speed up logistics activities. In addition, a multi-agent system is used to coordinate entire logistics services, smart contracts and compliance with their terms. Our new model combines smart contracts and a multi-agent system to improve the current logistics system by increasing organization, security and significantly improving distribution times.
