Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the most important research into the application of blockchain in the supply chains field, the implication of this new technology, the solutions or facilities that it can offer, the symbiosis with other technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), among others, to address problems by identifying the main approaches and applied tools, implementation and validation, and the direction in which future research will move.
