Increased Transparency
Faster Trade Transaction Processing
Sustainability
About Open eBL
Open eBL is managed by the non-profit Digital Supply Chain Institute (DSCI) under the Center for Global Enterprise and is backed by several founding members. The initiative offers benefits to all stakeholders within supply chains who rely on Bills of Lading to add value to their supply chain ecosystems. Open-source standards will enable an easy-to-use, transparent, and efficient international trade process.
