Abstract
In an approach to anonymous inventory tracking, one or more computer processors receive a first image of one or more products from a user. The one or more computer processors remove data associated with an identity of the user from the first image. The one or more computer processors determine that a storage location associated with the one or more products in the first image is detected. The one or more computer processors determine an inventory count of the one or more products in the first image. The one or more computer processors submit the first image and the inventory count of the one or more products in the first image to a blockchain ledger in association with the storage location. The one or more computer processors take an action based on the inventory count.
