Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for providing real-time updates and predictive functionality in a supply distribution chain of a product. A request is received from a user to view decentralized status information for a product, where the decentralized status information can include real time updates for building the product, assembling the product, shipping the product, and/or exchanging payments between suppliers, partners, or both. This decentralized status information for the product is received from one or more nodes on a distributed network, with the nodes being suppliers and/or partners in the supply distribution chain of the product. The user is granted at least read access to the decentralized status information of the product, as well as a prediction of product build completion based on node supply chain relationships specified within a smart contract.
