Blockchain In Transport Alliance (BiTA-S) Elects Richard Greening Of The DDC Group Co-Chair Of Bill Of Lading (BOL) Working Group
Reading Time: 2 minutes
The group was established by the standards development side of BiTA, referred to as “BiTA-S,” with the mission to create a modern definition of “bill of lading” and an associated data structure specification that can be leveraged across all transport modes for supply chain stakeholders. Its participants are made up of subject matter experts from BiTA-member companies representing trucking (LTL and TL), rail, sea and air.
At a recent meeting, a vote was called by the existing chair, Josh Kolar, founder of Asset Balance Solutions, who announced that he would be stepping down from the Chair role. Two individuals, Bob Hitt of Salesforce, who was the former Chair, and Richard Greening of DDC were nominated for the position. After discussion, it was voted that Hitt would again assume the Chair position and Greening would serve as Co-Chair.
“Mr. Greening’s experience leading the technology teams behind DDC, which is a global leader in freight back office solutions and currently processes more than 30% of all LTL bills in North America, will be a very valuable addition,” said Patrick Duffy, President of BiTA. “BiTA-S looks forward to seeing this group thrive under their leadership.”
According to Greening, “We are still in the infancy of what technology can provide. Having worked with industry bodies in the past, it is refreshing and very impressive to see what BiTA has managed to achieve in such a short amount of time.”
Greening joins the BiTA-S group with a combination of technical expertise and deep industry knowledge in logistics and supply chain. With his original background in air freight, Greening has developed and deployed systems for freighter networks, freight forwarders, airside ground handling facilities and bonded warehouses. His personal track record in automation, innovation and analytics coupled with DDC’s thirty years in data capture, business process outsourcing and bespoke technology like DDC Intelligence, sets him up as a valuable thought leader for future operations in transportation.
“I’m thrilled that we have such talented individuals in these leadership positions,” explained Duffy. “Their respective expertise will help to accelerate this working group’s progress towards a bill of lading data structure for an era of blockchain-enabled supply chains.”
Greening’s first matter of business to the elected position is to ensure the group hits its component milestones and is in a position to support all freight sectors.
“As we have been working through the attributes and relationships needed for this standard, it has been very enjoyable hearing examples of scenarios and potential challenges in other freight sectors and discussing what these could be in the future,” explained Greening. “We need to ensure we set a good example for other groups to follow.”

UNICC and ShelterZoom Developed a Secure Document Tracking and E-Signature Solution for the UN System
The United Nations International Computing Center (UNICC) and ShelterZoom are pleased to announce a new innovative blockchain-based solution for controlling and protecting the digital data of UN entities and other international organizations. As the largest strategic partner for digital solutions and cybersecurity within the UN system, UNICC has partnered with ShelterZoom, a leading data and content protection and ownership SaaS company behind innovations such as Document Token® technology and Document GPS®.
Building upon the 50 years of experienced innovation from the UNICC, the two organizations collaborated on a transformational undertaking offering robust protection and promising increased productivity for document tracking and management. ShelterZoom will contribute its proprietary document tokenization technology, along with its data protection, document tracking and e-signature solutions to deliver a white-labeled platform, giving member organizations a greater level of governance over their content. Using ShelterZoom’s flagship proprietary Single Source Of Truth® technology, the solution provides a means for each file to be protected individually without changing user normal habits instead of having to rely solely on protecting files at the database level. This ‘singularity and control’ is a new era in cybersecurity and document management, which has never been seen before at this level of seamless integration with existing tools.
“The synergy between what we deliver and the goals of the United Nations are a perfect match for Single Source Of Truth,” said Chao Cheng-Shorland, CEO and Cofounder of ShelterZoom. “We have said from the beginning that it is time to think about cybersecurity in a completely new way and in doing so we have created a solution to address other operational pain points while simultaneously solving one of the biggest challenges facing the global population today. The UN is at the frontlines of changing the world for the better and its forward-thinking approach to using technology to address fundamental issues is critical in improving livelihoods for all.”
ShelterZoom solutions have already been in use across dozens of industries and with this new commercial partnership, they can now extend their usefulness to the UN family and other international organizations. The revolutionary method for complete document tracking with built-in productivity tools, such as digital signatures and a market-first method for organizing files inside email, is an all-in-one solution built for a global workforce. The Single Source of Truth model has the added benefit of decreasing the carbon footprint created by excessive digital waste, further supporting the sustainability goals of the United Nations.
“The need for robust cybersecurity and data protection has never been greater,” said Sameer Chauhan, Director of UNICC. “By working together with ShelterZoom, we have developed a cutting-edge tool tailored to the needs of the UN family. Our unwavering commitment to providing best-in-class solutions ensures we continue to support the digital transformation and modernization of the UN system and other international organizations.”
