Case Study: BHP Billiton achieves real-time mining asset tracking with BlockApps

Track Verified Mining Assets With BlockApps’ Blockchain-as-a-Service

BHP Billiton, a global mining enterprise with more than 20,000 employees, needed a better way to track valuable mining samples across internal teams and external partners. Previously, its sample data was managed through email and Excel spreadsheets, which made it difficult to maintain a single, real-time source of truth and created compliance and visibility challenges. BlockApps provided the blockchain-as-a-service platform used to address this need.

BlockApps helped BHP Billiton build a web and mobile blockchain application in Microsoft Azure to track the location and shipment information of mining samples in a secure, shared system. The solution created a single source of truth, improved compliance capabilities, and enabled real-time tracking for employees and partners. The case study does not cite a specific numerical performance gain, but it highlights stronger data accuracy, security, and verifiability through BlockApps.
