Abstract
[The use of smart contracts for third-party comparison web logistics.] Along with the development of global economic services, the subcontracting of logistics activities to 3PL parties is increasing (Bask, 2001). People^s needs are very high for various forms of delivery of goods, from light to heavy or small or large volumes, so the types of goods delivery services offered by these services are increasingly varied. However, now many package delivery services have emerged that compete with each other in providing the best services with close proximity. This is what causes consumers to be more selective in choosing a delivery service that is superior and has a minimum cost in accordance with the goods sent and their destination. The solution is to use a logistics recommendation system and smart contracts that allow consumers to easily determine and order logistics services according to their needs. Therefore, in this study the author aims to implement smart contracts into a logistics service comparison website so that consumers can choose and order logistics services more easily.
