Hedera Highlights
Diving deeper into some of the biggest updates from Hedera.
#️⃣ What’s happening: Arrow Electronics, a global distributor of technology solutions, joined the Hedera Council.
#️⃣ Why it matters: Arrow Electronics (ARW) is a Fortune 500 company publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Arrow brings decades of expertise in sourcing and engineering technology solutions for thousands of manufacturers and service providers worldwide. Its inclusion in the Hedera Council, a governing body of diverse global organizations, showcases that established industry leaders are adopting Hedera in some capacity.
Arrow’s expertise in managing multi-party supply chains and predictive analytics positions it to leverage Hedera’s high-throughput, low-latency Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) for real-world applications.
The company plans to develop a supply chain use case on the Hedera Network to deliver real-time visibility into the movement of goods, automate compliance checks and enhance predictive logistics capabilities. In turn, it could set new benchmarks for transparency and automation, reducing inefficiencies in global trade because of its focus on supply chain efficiency. This could set new benchmarks for efficiency and automation in supply chain management.
Both Arrow and Hedera share a goal to provide secure and scalable infrastructure to decentralized applications, especially in a time when trust and transparency are paramount.
#️⃣ The bigger picture: Arrow joining the Hedera Council is representative of its support for decentralized governance for the development of a global supply chain.
Arrow’s expertise makes it a specifically notable council member in the Hedera ecosystem. Its industry reach and technical knowledge make it a catalyst for standards-based DLT applications that can scale globally.
If Arrow’s resources are effectively integrated with Hedera’s platform, this synergy could accelerate the adoption of DLT in supply chain management. Thus, positioning Hedera as a leader in decentralized solutions for global industries.
