Global Shipping Business Network (GSBN), an independent, not-for-profit technology consortium building a blockchain-enabled operating system, announced at TPM Tech a collaboration with Kaleris, a provider of supply chain technology solutions.
Kaleris’ premier brand of terminal operating systems, Navis, is deployed by more than 500 terminals around the world.
By connecting GSBN to the Kaleris Execution & Visibility Platform, a cloud-based logistics solution that optimises the movement of goods, terminals leveraging Navis Terminal Operating System (TOS) solutions can have a pre-configured point of integration to support applications on top of GSBN’s infrastructure.
In addition, the Kaleris Execution & Visibility Platform will directly connect to GSBN’s Earliest Receiving Date (ERD) app.
By employing blockchain technology in the ERD app, GSBN can offer exporters a single location to access immutable, up-to-date and accurate ERD data.
Speaking at the TPM Tech Conference, Bertrand Chen, CEO at GSBN, commented, “Blockchain technology is playing an increasingly important role in bringing together trusted data to enable more resilient and efficient global supply chains.”
