Decentralized Procurement Mechanisms for Efficient Logistics Services Mapping - a Design Science Research Approach

The paper designs, implements and evaluates a decentralized blockchain-based logistics procurement system that addresses the carrier-shipper allocation problem, and derives three nascent design principles - understandability, automation and metrics privacy - for decentralized procurement mechanisms.
