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. This paper proposes a system that uses smart contracts and blockchain technology to remove intermediaries and speed up logistics activities. Our model combines smart contracts and a multi-agent system to improve the current logistics system by increasing organization, security, transparency and significantly improving distribution times.
