Case Study: Hitachi achieves faster, paperless procurement with Hyperledger Fabric

Hitachi boosts contract processing 20% with Hyperledger

Hitachi, Ltd, a global technology company, faced challenges with its slow, paper-based procurement contract process. The system was inefficient, required physical mailing of documents, and was difficult to manage with a remote workforce. To address this, Hitachi worked with the vendor Hyperledger to create a secure, digital solution using Hyperledger Fabric.

The solution implemented was the Electronic Signature Service (ESS), a blockchain-backed system that ensures document integrity. By using Hyperledger Fabric, Hitachi achieved a 20% increase in contracts processed per month in one division and projected labor savings of 1,225 person-hours monthly. This successful outcome from Hyperledger has led to plans for a company-wide rollout.
