''The Open Enterprise Logistics (OEL) Foundation team is aiming high with this project. They are already merging all important names from the transport, supply, and logistics industry with a final goal to provide them with a platform that will make their jobs simpler and create savings at the same time. If OEL team delivers everything from their roadmap, we can expect that this project will change the face of logistics and transportation and become a new industry standard.''

Seems about right! The amount of alliance members is going to rise rapidly, I'm sure of that

Using smart contracts powered by a token to directly connect the movement of goods with payment will greatly enhance the efficiency and speed with which both goods and payments flow between supply chain participants.

Yup. OEL's enterprise blockchain is easily offering the best solution to these issues so far. Have you checked out the white-paper, btw?

OEL Foundation is currently pioneering supply chain financing applications using blockchain enabled proof of delivery to help transporters and SMEs receive payments faster.

OEL Foundation are embraced by these four members: XVC Logistics, BSA Logistics (a member of Sinar Mas Group), Maia Global, and Bastian Consulting, extending the reach of the OEL Enterprise Architecture and further promoting blockchain innovation for the logistics space. Together, these forward thinking companies/entity in the logistics space believes  using new technologies to equip stakeholders with innovative tools to increase efficiency and reduce costs, and his key technical experience will be invaluable as we lay the foundation for a more efficient, transparent, and cost-effective logistics space.

We are looking forward to it,
please don't forget to share it with us 

Alliance members are involved in the conceptualisation, development, and implementation of blockchain applications using the OEL Enterprise Architecture, with the goal of making blockchain applications real and actionable for stakeholders.

The three tiers of membership in the OEL Foundation Alliance are:

General Members have access to the information produced by the Foundation, and to production ready applications.

Premium Members have quarterly access to the development team, along with access to software development kits (SDKs) and beta releases for early stage blockchain applications.

Enterprise Council Members influence the direction of development of the Enterprise Architecture, and can co-author articles, studies, and other content released by the Foundation. They receive the same full technology access as Premium members.

XVC Logistics, BSA Logistics and Maia Global are all premium members of OEL Foundation Alliance.

Consider the socioeconomic impact of OEL's vision on logistics:

Most trucks are empty on the way back, by encouraging drivers to share information on their available capacity we can drive Backhaul optimization = more efficient usage of trucks = lower costs to shippers, more revenues to transporters and less trucks on our roads for the same volumes transported -> less pollution, less traffic.

Also, with blockchain tech, we can now truly make CSR audit on road transport activities of large companies (we know which type of trucks moved which good from point A to point B). This level of granular data for each shipments did not exist before.
Security impact, truck drivers are most of the time sleep deprived and try to cut down on breaks to finish their delivery as fast as possible (they drive all night). With micro intensitives and smart contracts we can incentives drivers to take breaks every few hours, improving security for the driver and reducing risk for the shipper.

This is just a few examples...

Greetings folks

In this video, OEL Foundation board member Max Ward sits with Jason English of Sweetbridge to discuss the powerful applications for driving liquidity in the supply chains that can be built on the partnerships between these entities.
