SINGAPORE – 8 October 2019 – Global eTrade Services (GeTS), a global trade platform company, today announced the onboarding of Swivel Software Limited (Swivel) and its community of users onto GeTS’ Open Trade Blockchain (OTB), a permissioned blockchain of trusted nodes built for the trade communities.
Swivel — a leading logistics technology provider that facilitates supply chain visibility among multiple stakeholders in over 30 countries, will use GeTS’ OTB as a trusted blockchain platform for its ecosystem of importers/exporters, truckers, forwarders, customs brokers, insurance and financial service providers, air and ocean carriers.
Through OTB, customers can secure the exchange of shipment data and trade documents such as Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Insurance and Contracts, providing an immutable audit trail.
