Blockchain In Transport Alliance (BiTA-S) Elects Richard Greening Of The DDC Group Co-Chair Of Bill Of Lading (BOL) Working Group
The group was established by the standards development side of BiTA, referred to as “BiTA-S,” with the mission to create a modern definition of “bill of lading” and an associated data structure specification that can be leveraged across all transport modes for supply chain stakeholders. Its participants are made up of subject matter experts from BiTA-member companies representing trucking (LTL and TL), rail, sea and air.
At a recent meeting, a vote was called by the existing chair, Josh Kolar, founder of Asset Balance Solutions, who announced that he would be stepping down from the Chair role. Two individuals, Bob Hitt of Salesforce, who was the former Chair, and Richard Greening of DDC were nominated for the position. After discussion, it was voted that Hitt would again assume the Chair position and Greening would serve as Co-Chair.
“Mr. Greening’s experience leading the technology teams behind DDC, which is a global leader in freight back office solutions and currently processes more than 30% of all LTL bills in North America, will be a very valuable addition,” said Patrick Duffy, President of BiTA. “BiTA-S looks forward to seeing this group thrive under their leadership.”
According to Greening, “We are still in the infancy of what technology can provide. Having worked with industry bodies in the past, it is refreshing and very impressive to see what BiTA has managed to achieve in such a short amount of time.”
Greening joins the BiTA-S group with a combination of technical expertise and deep industry knowledge in logistics and supply chain. With his original background in air freight, Greening has developed and deployed systems for freighter networks, freight forwarders, airside ground handling facilities and bonded warehouses. His personal track record in automation, innovation and analytics coupled with DDC’s thirty years in data capture, business process outsourcing and bespoke technology like DDC Intelligence, sets him up as a valuable thought leader for future operations in transportation.
“I’m thrilled that we have such talented individuals in these leadership positions,” explained Duffy. “Their respective expertise will help to accelerate this working group’s progress towards a bill of lading data structure for an era of blockchain-enabled supply chains.”
Greening’s first matter of business to the elected position is to ensure the group hits its component milestones and is in a position to support all freight sectors.
“As we have been working through the attributes and relationships needed for this standard, it has been very enjoyable hearing examples of scenarios and potential challenges in other freight sectors and discussing what these could be in the future,” explained Greening. “We need to ensure we set a good example for other groups to follow.”

Healthcare leaders gather at House of Commons to discuss productivity-boosting tech with MyStaff app
LONDON, Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Healthcare leaders from 16 NHS trusts gathered at the House of Commons this week to see how Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is using a groundbreaking new app that transforms staff access to information vital to their patients’ care.
The MyStaff app uses AI and automation to simplify the management of critical policies and procedures, reducing the time staff spend searching for information from almost 10 minutes to under 30 seconds. Over 12,000 of the Trust’s staff have signed up, and around 1,000 are using the app daily.
With £2bn pledged to help digitise the NHS and bring down waiting lists, such time-saving tech is high on healthcare’s agenda. Trust Chief Executive Matthew Hopkins introduced the session, which was hosted by David Burton-Sampson, MP for Southend West and Leigh, and saw technology strategists and users share their experiences of digitising vital healthcare operations.
Matthew said: “Our Trust is working to make the best use of digital technologies wherever this can help staff to provide the best possible care to our patients. MyStaff app is a versatile and easy-to-use tool that improves our governance processes and makes it easy for staff to access the vital clinical information they need when treating patients.”
The Trust developed MyStaff app with digital innovators Diligram, who have created a digital governance solution that helps ensure staff use the latest policies and guidance when delivering patient care. Document compliance rates have grown from 60% to 98%, whilst projections indicate the app could release 55,000 hours’ worth of staff capacity over 3 years, worth almost £4m in staff costs and giving staff more time on patient-facing care.
Diligram CEO Leslie Golding said: “We have worked closely with the Trust on developing groundbreaking technology that supports our healthcare heroes by simplifying access to essential information. We’re proud to be part of this brilliant example of positive digital change.”
