Only familiar and authorised parties can view information and perform actions in the Secure Chain. In this way, we make the logistics chain more secure and reliable. PIN codes, which are susceptible to fraud, are eliminated from the process. The possession of information (read the PIN code) is no longer the key to gaining access to terminals. In a ‘closed’ logistics chain, parties exchange ‘need-to-know’ information with each other in a secure manner. They digitally communicate the authorisation to collect a container to one another.
