| Abstract: |
Bumble Bee Foods, North America's largest branded shelf-stable seafood company, has announced that it will use the SAP cloud platform blockchain to trace the movement of yellowfin tuna from the Indonesian ocean to the consumer's cart. The seafood behemoth has traditionally shown interest in understanding the environment from where it sources its fish, with blockchain being its latest tool of choice. In many ways, looking for visibility in supply chains is a valid concern – several small-scale fishing operators catch the tuna off the coast of east Indonesian islands, thus making it vital for the company to take stock of the situation and maintain quality to the very last fish that goes through its supply chain. "We've been doing traceability for a long time, and we decided to leverage new technologies to make it even more secure," said Tony Costa, chief information officer at Bumble Bee. "Quite frankly, we're just scratching the surface on the capabilities of the technology in our supply chain. |
