Watch the replay of the first episode of the five-part Blockchain series.

Supply chains are the cornerstone of the global economy, connecting business partners in the exchange of goods and services, from supply to the end consumer. For a majority of companies, improving supply chain processes has become a priority to remedy current inefficiencies, better manage operational and reputation risks and finally build more reliable and sustainable supply chains.

We consider Blockchain as one of the technological engines of this new generation of supply chain solutions.

In this series of webinars, we will see how the Blockchain is a game-changer for logistics, with a focus on a series of complementary use cases with a material impact, illustrated by concrete examples from our customers and partners.

Restore confidence in the origin of products, guarantee their authenticity, prevent fraud and counterfeiting, allow rapid tracing of defects and effective product recall campaigns. The challenges of product traceability are considerable and this in multiple sectors: food, health, retail, automotive, aeronautics, mines …

In this webcast, we will go into these questions in depth, see what the Blockchain could bring and how it could become a basic platform for other disruptive technologies. We will also find feedback from the food sector.

Supply chains have become increasingly complex and fragmented. They generally involve a large number of suppliers and intermediaries around the world. It is essential to trust the identity of suppliers to properly manage risks & compliance and create reliable and sustainable supply chains.

In this webcast, we will explore the potential of Blockchain to ensure transparency and accountability between actors in the supply chain by focusing on the “Know Your Supplier” (KYS) process.

We will also discuss Capgemini’s internal experimentation – the Blue Catalyst asset, and discuss the strategic importance of connecting to third-party data providers.

Procure-to-Pay (P2P) processes are a major source of problems for supply chain actors around the world. Frequently considered to be slow, inefficient and very prone to errors, the P2P process is also exposed to reconciliation problems and the risks of fraud.

In this webinar, we will examine how Blockchain could streamline and automate P2P processes by reconciling purchase orders, invoices and receipt of goods.

IoT has become essential to digitalize numerous Supply Chain processes (real time monitoring of stocks, asset traceability, measurement of environmental conditions, etc.). However, it comes with a series of challenges, such as: how to manage efficiently large and heterogeneous data, secure objects and their data (in particular, ensuring their integrity and their resilience), find an alternative to centralized processing, reduce maintenance costs, guarantee low or zero cost transactions, guarantee scalability, etc.

We will discuss how the Blockchain technologies could bring solutions to some or all of these challenges, and we will illustrate through a concrete example (DIAMS4IoT project: Device Identity and Access Management System for IoT) the connected devices securing aspects (identity, authentication, access).
