The Blockchain technology, at first feared and rejected by some of the world’s biggest companies, just cannot be ignored anymore. Every day, a new “big name” in the world of business comes out in support of this incredible advancement in technology.

Just the other day, on May 14, delivery services multinational FedEx said it is “quite confident” blockchain has “big, big implications” for supply chains, as it continues engagement with the technology.

Speaking at the Consensus 2018 conference in New York Monday, FedEx CEO Fred Smith stated that the time had come for businesses to ingratiate themselves with blockchain or face “probable extinction.

“We’re quite confident that it has big, big implications in supply chain, transportation and logistics,” he said during a panel quoted by Bloomberg and other sources, continuing:

“It’s the next frontier that’s going to completely change worldwide supply chains.”

FedEx has been collecting positive experiences looking into the potential blockchain holds to improve its businesses model. In February, the company joined the Blockchain in Transport Alliance (BiTA), a focus group whose members include rail operator BNSF, JD Logistics, and GE Transportation.

FedEx’s goal, industry media reported at the time, was to strive to “create common logistics standards” based on the technology.

Prior to that, in October of last year, it became a member of the Canada-based Blockchain Research Institute, Don Tapscott’s initiative dedicated to “conducting the definitive study of the impact of blockchain technology on business, government and society.”
