Digital supply chain integration is becoming
increasingly dynamic. Access to customer demand
needs to be shared effectively, and product and service
deliveries must be tracked to provide visibility in the
supply chain. Business process integration is based on
standards and reference architectures, which should
offer end-to-end integration of product data.
Companies operating in supply chains establish
process and data integration through the specialized
intermediate companies, whose role is to establish
interoperability by mapping and integrating company-
specific data for various organizations and systems.
This has typically caused high integration costs, and
diffusion is slow. This paper investigates the
requirements and functionalities of supply chain
integration. Cloud integration can be expected to offer
a cost-effective business model for interoperable
digital supply chains. We explain how supply chain
integration through the blockchain technology can
achieve disruptive transformation in digital supply
chains and networks.
