Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for managing transport of a commodity from a point of origin to a destination are disclosed. The system receives rating information from one or more logistics service providers and parameters associated with a requested transport of the commodity from a shipper. A quote for the transport of the commodity is dynamically generated based on the rating information and the one or more parameters included in the request, and transmitted to the shipper. The system then receives an authorization to transport the commodity in accordance with the quote from the shipper, and generates one or more smart contracts for the transport of the commodity in response to receiving the authorization. The system monitors the transport of the commodity, and determines whether terms of a smart contract have been satisfied. When a term has been satisfied, operations corresponding to the satisfied terms are performed automatically.
