  • In our globalized world, companies operate on an international market. To concentrate on their main competencies and be more competitive, they integrate into supply chain networks. However, these potentials also bear many risks. The emergence of an international market also creates pressure from competitors, forcing companies to collaborate with new and unknown companies in dynamic supply chain networks.

To concentrate on their main competencies and be more competitive, they integrate into supply chain networks. However, these potentials also bear many risks. The emergence of an international market also creates pressure from competitors, forcing companies to collaborate with new and unknown companies in dynamic supply chain networks. In many cases, this can cause a lack of trust as the application of illegal practices and the breaking of agreements through complex and nontransparent supply chain networks pose a threat. Blockchain technology provides a transparent, decentralized, and distributed means of chaining data storage and thus enables trust in its tamper-proof storage, even if there is no trust in the cooperation partners. The use of the blockchain also provides the opportunity to digitize, automate, and monitor processes within supply chain networks in real time. The research project "Plattform für das integrierte Management von Kollaborationen in Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken" (PIMKoWe) addresses this issue. The aim of this report is to define requirements for such a collaboration platform. We define requirements based on a literature review and expert interviews, which allow for an objective consideration of scientific and practical aspects. An additional survey validates and further classifies these requirements as “essential”, “optional”, or “irrelevant”. In total, we have derived a collection of 45 requirements from different dimensions for the collaboration platform. Employing these requirements, we illustrate a conceptual architecture of the platform as well as introduce a realistic application scenario. The presentation of the platform concept and the application scenario can provide the foundation for implementing and introducing a blockchain-based collaboration platform into existing supply chain networks in context of the research project PIMKoWe.show moreshow less
