Global eTrade Services (GeTS), a global trade platform company, recently announced the onboarding of Swivel Software Limited (Swivel) and its user base onto GeTS’ Open Trade Blockchain (OTB), a permissioned blockchain of trusted nodes intended for trade communities.

Blockchain-Powered Supply Chain Platform

According to a report from Ledger Insights, Open Trade Blockchain provides registration and verification of trade documents such as bills of lading, insurance files, commercial invoices, and contracts. The immutable nature of the blockchain-based platform will greatly benefit supply chain stakeholders to audit, eliminate risks of fraud, and verify their integrity in the event of a dispute.

Users from over 30 countries will enjoy faster and more cost-efficient supply chain processes delivered by blockchain, according to Eugene Wong, Chairman of GeTS.

OTB currently has four operational nodes, three of which operate outside of GeTS. Powered by the Hyperledger Fabric platform, the blockchain sits on top of the GeTS platform and utilize existing integrations.
