Enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions can be quite expensive, especially for smaller companies. While ERP giants like SAP try their hands at blockchain-based solutions, a relatively small team now aims to provide an alternative that delivers similar functions using decentralized apps (DApps).<\/p>\n
In a Cointelegraph interview, William Pete, the CEO of Energy Ledger explained that by integrating blockchain technology, their team was able to develop applications that allow tracking and tracing supply chain logistics for products like crude oil.<\/p>\n
\u201cMajor oil and gas producers have been looking at blockchain technology for years but their internal think-tanks have failed to create a solution,\u201d says Pete. He claims that their team has stepped up to the task and managed to build an ERP DApp, with a mechanism that integrates blockchain to supply chain management.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2020, WTI oil prices collapsed to negative rates due to flaws in how commodities transactions are settled,\u201d says Pete. Supply data discrepancies have made it very difficult to properly settle transactions. However, Pete mentions that blockchain’s innate features solve this as it lets firms track their supply “down to the molecule.” This prevents such trading issues.<\/p>\n
