Daniel Wilson, Director of Strategy and Operations at TradeLens, joined the online version of Consensus in May to discuss digitizing one of the world's oldest industries and prioritizing the Apps that open doors for future development and monetization, not just for TradeLens, but for the industry as a whole.
On a recent IBM Blockchain Pulse Podcast episode, TradeLens Director of Strategy and Operations, Daniel Wilson, offered a personal take on the history, context and development of the platform.
TradeLens is a digital shipping platform, powered by blockchain, that enables unprecedented transparency, collaboration, and efficiency in global supply chains. TradeLens provides control and management of shipping data and supplies innovative apps to every stakeholder in the supply chain.
The world relies on a trade ecosystem of unprecedented scale and complexity with more than $16 trillion of goods a year. 80% of the things that we use every day arrive by ship. Every hour, of every day, a minor miracle of international logistics. But the industry is too disjointed. Too siloed. Too uncoordinated. Resulting in inaccurate information, shipment delays, unpredictability and fraud. And $1.8 trillion of untapped potential.
At IBM Think 2019 conference, Mike White, Head of TradeLens at Maersk and Marvin Erdly, Head of TradeLens at IBM explain how TradeLens wants to change the container logistics game by digitizing information flows across the globe and between trade partners.
