Press Release: Sheer Joins Blockchain In Transport Alliance

Sheer Logistics announced today that they have joined the Blockchain in Transport Alliance (BiTA).

BiTA (www.bita.studio) believes blockchain is one of the most significant developments for the logistics industry since the creation of the internet. By providing more clarity and standards around blockchain through education and promotion of the technology, BiTA intends to be the leading blockchain voice for the industry.

“Sheer Logistics is excited to join the Blockchain in Transport Alliance”, says Rob Cook, VP of Technology at Sheer.  “BiTA will help drive the first set of transportation-specific Blockchain standards, and we most certainly want to be a part of that effort.  We see a lot of potential applications for blockchain, from global visibility of product, to support for customs, the interaction between shipper and brokers, payment reconciliation and the carrier/shipper bid process.  If and when these blockchain applications become a reality, we want to be at the forefront of their testing and adoption. We believe these solutions could increase collaboration amongst shippers and third-party logistics providers while providing the opportunity for significant cost reduction.”
