BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY FOR SECURE AND TRANSPARENT SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Blockchain technology has emerged as a transformative force in modern supply chain management by ensuring transparency, traceability, and security. This study explores the integration of blockchain into supply chain processes, focusing on Pakistan's growing interest in digital transformation. Using case analysis and survey data, we compare traditional and blockchain-enabled supply chains, highlighting the benefits of real-time tracking, tamper-proof transactions, and smart contract automation. The findings suggest that while adoption challenges persist—such as infrastructural limitations and legal ambiguities—the potential for increased efficiency, stakeholder trust, and compliance monitoring makes blockchain a viable long-term solution for secure supply chain systems.
