Swiss forwarding and logistics services company Panalpina has started blockchain pilot projects aimed at optimizing of supply chains, according to a press release on June 11. Weeks after joining the Blockchain in Transport Alliance, Swiss logistics firm Panalpina has launched two pilot studies examining the technology's use in delivering high-tech industrial goods and office supplies. Panalpina said it will run the trials, tracking imported goods from Asia to Europe, alongside traditional operations, with all documentation digitised and stored in the cloud. The first trial is a test of blockchain's ability to track shipments between Switzerland and China via an online platform.
