Heavy Duty Trucking magazine and TMW Systems are offering a free webinar on the topic of blockchain to help fleets understand the potential of this technology in trucking.

It’s predicted that 10% of the global GDP will be stored in the blockchain by 2025. Blockchain technology is a new architecture to exchange, secure and integrate data and business processes, which means greater operational efficiency, better visibility and getting paid faster. For fleets, successful implementation of blockchain can offer a distinct competitive advantage, says TMW.

On May 2 at 2 p.m. EDT, Timothy Leonard, TMW Systems chief technology officer, and Ben Amaba, chief innovation officer at IBM, for an exclusive discussion on building blockchain applications for trucking, how it will permeate other industries, and how to get up and running in less than 30 days.
