This gives the franchise company better insights into the holdings of other partners and enables them to transact transactions faster.

Essentially, blockchain technology provides a way to track data streams transparently. The Ledger ensures a global exchange of information between companies, which in particular can optimize logistics processes. But while cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin have made Blockchain technology famous, large corporations are still reluctant to migrate their operations to Blockchain.

Andrei Semenov, Senior Manager at Coke One North America, told the news magazine Business Insider:

So far, there is still a lack of pioneering pilot projects that demonstrate the benefits of large scale applications. When Coca-Cola, one of the largest corporations in the world, relies on technology, it sends a far-reaching signal to other corporations.

With SAP, Coca Cola has an experienced tech group at its side.
