Performance measurement and information management are vital assets for supply chain
management. In this study, we analyzed the effective combination between blockchain technologies
and supply chain management processes. We conducted eighteen interviews with international
experts from different areas and analyzed the collected data following a grounded theory approach.
We have identified five main categories in this area including accounting and administration, trust,
data platform, interoperability, and disintermediation. The main findings concluded with a set of
seven statements as key elements to summarize how blockchain-based supply chains fit in with
supplier relationship management processes and financial business units for international trade. The
seven statements also recommend future research activities and trajectories.
