OpenPort Founder and CEO Max Ward said, in a statement, “The launch of OpenPort Solutions is a significant milestone for both our business and our cutting edge technology. Our blockchain-enabled electronic Proof of Delivery program has the potential to fundamentally change the logistics landscape, providing better than market liquidity for transporters and irrefutable transparency for shippers. Working alongside XVC Logistics to roll-out this unique program highlights the strong confidence in our offering, and we look forward to building on this momentum with a partner that shares our vision of delivering new levels of transparency and security to the logistics space.”

According to their statement, OpenPort is Asia’s only multinational digital logistics provider, with services in China, Hong Kong, India, and Pakistan, in addition to the Philippines.
