Smart contracts show a high potential for ensuring that Supply Chain Management strategies make a qualitative leap toward higher levels of optimality, not only in terms of efficiency and profitability but also in the aggregation of skills aimed at creating the best products and services to bring to the market. In this article, we illustrate an architecture that employs smart contracts to implement various algorithmic versions of the Income Sharing principle between companies participating in a supply chain. We implement our approach on Hyperledger Fabric, the most widespread platform for private and consortium distributed ledgers, and discuss its suitability to our purposes by comparing this design choice with the alternative given by public blockchains, with particular attention to Ethereum.
