        abstract = {The increasing complexity of modern logistics operations demands innovative solutions to enhance efficiency, security, and transparency. This study introduces a robust and secure logistics management framework that integrates Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain, and the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) to enhance distribution efficiency and data security. The incorporation of IoT technology enables continuous shipment tracking, ensuring real-time visibility and traceability throughout the supply chain. Meanwhile, Blockchain technology provides a tamper-proof, decentralized ledger, securing transactions and facilitating automated contract execution through smart contracts. Additionally, IPFS offers a distributed storage solution, ensuring reliable, cost-effective, and immutable data preservation, eliminating the weaknesses of traditional centralized databases.The proposed system is designed to mitigate key issues such as data privacy, interoperability, and operational inefficiencies, offering stakeholders a reliable and cost-effective logistics framework. Performance evaluations, including security assessments against cyber threats, transaction latency analysis, and cost-benefit evaluation, demonstrate the proposed system’s effectiveness over traditional logistics models. The implementation of this system optimizes supply chain efficiency, enhances data security, and ensures seamless coordination among logistics stakeholders.},
