AB Logistics services involve a wide range of transport operations between distributors and clients. Currently, the large number ofintermediaries are a challenge for this sector, as it makes all the processes more complicated. To face that problem, we proposea system that uses smart contracts to remove intermediaries and speed up logistics activities. Our new model combines smartcontracts and a multi-agent system in a single platform to improve the current logistics system by increasing organization,security and getting rid of several human intermediaries to automate its processes, making distribution times significantlyfaster. Also, with this kind of approach, it is possible to apply penalties to parties that do not comply with the terms of usingthis platform.
