Logistics services involve a wide range of transport operations between distributors and clients. Currently, the large number of
intermediaries are a challenge for this sector, as it makes all the processes more complicated. To face that problem, we propose
a system that uses smart contracts to remove intermediaries and speed up logistics activities. Our new model combines smart
contracts 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 significantly
faster. Also, with this kind of approach, it is possible to apply penalties to parties that do not comply with the terms of using
this platform.This work was developed as part of ‘Virtual Ledger Technologies DLT/Blockchain y Cripto-IOT sobre organizaciones virtuales de agentes ligeros y su aplicación en la eficiencia en el transporte de última milla’, ID SA267P18, project cofinanced by Junta Castilla y León, Consejería de Educación and FEDER funds. Also, the research work carried out by Yeray Mezquita is supported by the pre-doctoral fellowship from the University of Salamanca and Banco Santander
