This reminds me of talking to a salesperson at $BIG_CO about their "blockchain platform cloud" offering for "ending inventory tracking system inaccuracy problems once and for all". I could never figure out how cryptography was supposed to help with the "is the physical thing actually where it's supposed to be in the physical warehouse" problem. That seemed like the non-trivial part. Everything else you could just do with a flat-file CSV or whatever. The free drinks were nice.
