End-to-End Visibility in Global Supply Chains: Blockchain and AI Integration.

Abstract

End-to-end visibility in global supply chains has become a critical factor in achieving operational efficiency, transparency, and resilience. The complexity of modern supply chains, characterized by multiple stakeholders and the movement of goods across borders, presents significant challenges in tracking, monitoring, and ensuring the authenticity of products. This paper explores the integration of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance end-to-end visibility in global supply chains. Blockchain provides an immutable, decentralized ledger that enables transparent tracking of goods, while AI adds predictive analytics and real-time decision-making capabilities to optimize operations. By combining these technologies, organizations can achieve greater traceability, reduce the risk of fraud, enhance inventory management, and improve overall supply chain performance. The research highlights real-world case studies and examines the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing blockchain and AI in supply chains. This approach represents a transformative shift towards more secure, efficient, and data-driven supply chain management.
