Blockchain is best known as the technology that makes crypto-currencies possible, but could the same shared ledger technique be used to update an error-prone logistics process within the oil drilling industry?

I lead the design team of Novility, a start-up that developed a training system based on motion tracking and voice recognition technologies, to teach hotel housekeepers the correct procedures, ergonomic movements and required English language skills to perform their job efficiently and free of injuries.
