Abstract Blockchain technology supports highly sensitive data sharing with the improvement of security and privacy using cryptography. It is highly preferred in scenarios where the difficulty of tampering the data is critical. To manage supply chain in industrial distribution effectively, privacy, transparency, security, provenance and correctness of sensitive data need to be controlled between different participants. In particular, it has crucial importance in pharmacology that affects finance, investment and health of society. Thus in this study, we propose a blockchain track and trace system (BTTS) for improving management of pharmaceutical supply chain. We have offered state-of-the-art Hyperledger Fabric BTTS that distributed participants can control correctness of the medicine and protect highly sensitive data provenance for pharmaceutical supply chain. Proposed Hyperledger Fabric permissioned blockchain-based BTTS presents smart contract structure and protection for highly sensitive manufacturer’s ownership data with less energy consuming than proof-of-work-based approaches.
