Factors affecting blockchain technology in routing-location of combined transportation in the Omnichannel distribution system

The aim of the present study is to determine the factors affecting blockchain technology in routing-location of combined transportation of the Channel Security Distribution System. The research method is applicable according to its purpose, and its method is qualitative, and of meta-synthesis type. By using a systematic review and meta-synthesis approach, the results and findings of previous researchers were analyzed and the effective factors were identified by performing the 7 steps of the Sandelowski and Barroso method. Out of 580 articles, 79 articles were selected based on the CASP method. In this context, in order to measure reliability and quality control, the transcript method was used; and its value was identified at the high agreement level for the identified indicators. Based on the coding performed in the ATLAS TI software, 8 categories and 51 primary codes were identified. The identified categories are: electronic network management, route management, environmental factors, transparency, trust management, technical infrastructure, information standardization and business intelligence; therefore, by combining these 8 criteria, all of which have specific resources and recurrence, it is possible to optimize transportation routing-location by combining blockchain and omnichannel distribution. The results show that today's companies communicate and interact with each other in a dynamic market that is undergoing fundamental change and transformation, which is created by the increasing speed at which digitalization and technological advances are advancing.
