Author: Dr Sandeepan Banerjee
Abstract:

The use of blockchain technology in smart contracts is changing the way businesses are run in the modern world, with the ability to perform automated, transparent and additional contractual terms without being tampered with. This paper examines how smart contracts can be utilised with real-time business performance analytics to improve the efficiency of operations, accountability and strategic decision-making. Smart contracts can be utilized to validate transactions in a decentralized system by including a set of rules that ensure that the transactions are automatically validated immediately, minimize the reliance on intermediaries and minimize human error. Through the integration of the real-time analytics tools, the organizations will be able to track the key performance indicators (KPI), financial operations, supply chain operations and compliance indicators more precisely and promptly. The integration of these technologies promotes integrity of data, reinforcement of audit trails and predictive insights due to the continuous flow of data stream. Moreover, the study points to its use in finance, supply chain management, healthcare and digital services, noting that it has better transparency, cost reduction in operations and the trust of stakeholders. In spite of the benefits, there are still issues like scalability, interoperability, regulatory unpredictability and data privacy. The paper comes to a conclusion that a combination of smart contracts and real-time analytics offers a strategic platform to data-driven companies, which make agility decisions and sustainable competitive edges in dynamic digital markets.
