One of the barriers to exchanging data is often that parties do not know each other sufficiently, and therefore are not able to share data. Often this can only be done after some form of contract has been established.

- Party A hires Trucking Company B to deliver Container X to Party C. Trucking Company B's ERP system asks Party C's ERP system at what time it should deliver the container. Party C's ERP system does not know Trucking Company B, but can check the delegation to Trucking Company B that Party A has registered at Authorisation Registry D. Because this delegation is in order, Party C's ERP system shares a time slot with Trucking Company B's ERP.
