Abstract
The flow of information in construction supply chain stands out for being inefficient and lacking in automation. Some authors have identified the potential of blockchain technology to solve problems related to the lack of transparency, automation, productivity, and efficiency. This study builds a novel blockchain-based information management framework for a typical supply chain of the construction industry. Using design science research as methodological research strategy, this study presents and analyses a blockchain framework and its development processes. The framework performance was evaluated through its potential to generate organizational knowledge and its impact on the current management context. The challenges of the proposed system are the integration of Hyperledger systems, the development of channels and the layout of the supply chain within the blockchain, as well as the addition and control of members within the network. The main contribution of this study is the proposition of a SaaS (Software as a Service) concept platform with great potential to meet the needs and particularities of the Construction sector.
