N2 - The logistics industry, a critical component of global trade, faces numerous challenges such as inefficiencies, fraud, and lack of transparency. As digital transformation reshapes industries, blockchain technology has emerged as a potential game-changer in addressing these challenges. By enabling secure, transparent, and immutable record-keeping, blockchain offers unprecedented opportunities to streamline operations, improve traceability, and enhance accountability within the logistics sector. This paper explores the applications of blockchain in logistics management, focusing on its potential to improve supply chain transparency, reduce operational costs, and increase overall efficiency. It also addresses the technical and organizational hurdles to blockchain adoption and highlights ongoing efforts to integrate this technology into the logistics ecosystem.
