Case Study: Ledger Leopard makes RTI tracking as easy as online banking with Hyperledger Besu

RTI Blockchain & Ledger Leopard make tracking returnable transport items as easy as online banking with Hyperledger Besu

Ledger Leopard faced the costly, fragmented challenge of tracking Returnable Transport Items (RTIs) across multiple supply‑chain partners and wanted a solution as simple and intuitive as online banking. To build a fast, private and enterprise‑grade platform, Ledger Leopard selected Hyperledger technology — specifically Hyperledger Besu — as the underlying blockchain stack to provide the transparency and security missing from legacy RTI processes.

Using Hyperledger Besu, Hyperledger powered the RTI Dashboard that Ledger Leopard developed: a plug‑and‑play web and mobile app with private transactions, smart contracts and real‑time visibility. The Hyperledger‑based solution delivered measurable results — 100% of users up and running within 30 minutes, early customers organically inviting partners, adoption across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the Nordics, and a low pay‑per‑use model (0.0005 EUR per item) that significantly reduced administrative burden and increased trust across the supply chain.
