Abstract: World trade has been influenced by the emergence of new technologies around the globe. Businesses are forced to adopt new technologies regardless of their expertise and capabilities, to outperform their counterparts. This leads to challenges, risks, and errors in various stages of shipping. It is possible to overcome these challenges by securing the shipments head-to-head. To implement this, the present study proposes a blockchain-based seamless end-to-end shipping approach that makes shipping more secured, transparent, reliable, etc. Hyperledger composer based on REST server has been adopted in the study to capture the shipping data of the participants, assets, and transactions. In addition, separate Android applications have been developed for managers and customers for effective order placement, management, and tracking. Validation of the order placement is presented in the study to confirm the reliability of the system. The results indicate that the shipment errors can be precisely determined through the proposed method.
