Blockchain technology has emerged as a transformative tool in supply chain management (SCM), particularly in the retail sector, by addressing long-standing challenges related to transparency, traceability, and efficiency. In traditional retail supply chains, information flows are often fragmented, with multiple intermediaries such as manufacturers, distributors, logistics providers, and retailers handling discrete portions of the process. This fragmentation can lead to inefficiencies, data inconsistencies, and even fraudulent activities, affecting product quality, delivery schedules, and overall customer trust. Blockchain, as a decentralized and immutable digital ledger, provides a solution by creating a single, tamper-proof record of every transaction and movement of goods across the supply chain. One of the key contributions of blockchain in retail SCM is enhanced transparency. Each participant in the supply chain can record and access real-time data about products, including production dates, batch numbers, shipment details, and handling conditions. Since blockchain records are immutable, they cannot be altered retroactively, which reduces the risk of misinformation or deliberate tampering. For instance, retailers can immediately verify whether a batch of perishable goods has been stored at the correct temperature
