In the world at a rapid pace, a global technological revolution is developing, due to numerous innovations. Today, world trade is growing exponentially, and along with it, logistics services are also progressing.
In this connection, in the field of cargo transportation, good software and simple technological regulation are necessary. Briefly, the primary goal of modern logistics can be formulated as follows: any product from anywhere in the world to anywhere in the world to any recipient.
It should be noted that the goods being transported are becoming more fragile and sensitive (for example, pharmaceuticals, and food). Accordingly, the need for reliable transport infrastructure is growing. Also, the pharmaceutical industry has changed dramatically in recent years, taking into account the integration of innovative technological solutions.
However, modern logistics and ways of packing the goods ultimately do not meet the requirements of the time. According to the World Health Organization, 40% of vaccines are not transported at the required temperature, which reduces their effectiveness and violates safety standards. According to statistics, pharmaceutical companies annually throw out products worth more than $ 2.5 billion due to incorrect freight traffic. Therefore, the regulators of different countries are developing more stringent norms for freight traffic.
Company Smart Containers
The Smart Containers Group began to solve logistics problems about eight years ago, after the development of new technological solutions.
Today the project has a significant "track record" of completed tasks. The main scope of the project is pharmaceutical logistics, implemented with the help of the company's partners, for example, SkyCell, the world's fourth supplier of pharmaceuticals around.
FoodGuardians also assist the Smart Containers project. They provide technology for the production of modern and economical products, ensuring their rapid delivery to the market.
To solve the logistics problems Smart Containers Group needs to collect $ 36 million, which will be realized by selling SMARC tokens. Tokens will give owners 20% of future profits from logistic transactions.
Logistics Revolution
The goal of Smart Containers is to revolutionize logistics and transport. According to experts, blockchain will help develop new solutions in this industry.
From the point of view of the project team, the main problem in logistics is centralization. In Smart Containers it is believed that not large conglomerates can change this situation. It can be changed by small, mobile and innovative start-ups that create their own rules.
In particular, today, to send goods from one country to another, it is necessary to create and agree on about 200 different documents (not to mention electronic correspondence). Thus, paper and the administrative red tape is more expensive than the delivery of cargo itself.
The logistical process requires the significant involvement of the parties in business correspondence and the generation of invoices. Meanwhile, the centralization of projects does not give counteragents the desired results. Hence it can be concluded that the logistics system today is hugely inefficient and it must be radically changed.
Smart Containers offers a fully integrated, logistic ecosystem, open to all members and based on a blockchain technology called LOGI CHAIN. This system eliminates the paperwork and the need to correspond via email. Then the project plans to introduce automation of container billing through smart contracts and cryptocurrencies.
How it works?
A logistics unit (for example, a container, package, product, etc.) is reflected as a virtual product (chip) in the infrastructure of the blockchain. Also, the blockchain also integrates the necessary documents. Thus, a virtual chip, documents, and attributes are available to each user of the ecosystem and stakeholders (for example, customs officers, forwarders, contractors, suppliers, buyers, warehouse workers). Some documents will have public access. Confidential data will be protected by the blockchain, in particular, Fabric or Cord systems. Such cryptocurrency infrastructures as NEM, EOS or NEO are also considered. During the shipment process, counterparties will be able to access documents with open source code.
The Smart Containers project is still at the development stage. Now it is planned to increase productivity five times and reduce the weight and volume of smart containers that create the necessary conditions for the transportation of goods. Smart Containers offers a high-tech logistics solution that has no analogs in the world.
SMARC token
SMARC token (SMARC) is a company token that entitles you to a share of the profit: the token holders will receive 20% of future revenue from transactions.
The total issue will be 150 million tokens. 120 million tokens (80%) will be placed on the ICO, and the rest will be used to cover ICO costs and to develop smart containers. Hard cap ICO is $ 36 million. The price for the token is $ 0.432.
Preliminary sale of tokens will begin in May 2018. It will be closed and will be held only for invited investors. On it, tokens will be provided with a 25% discount. Their number is strictly limited: 49.3 million (41%), which is equivalent to $ 16 million.
LOGI Token
Logi token (LOGI) is a service token that will be used to pay for transactions in the LOGI CHAIN ecosystem with an increase in the number of users of the platform and the ecosystem.
A total of 100 million data tokens will be released. On pre-sale will be offered 20 million tokens (20%); 50% will be transferred to the LOGI CHAIN Foundation to finance the ecosystem as it expands. 25% of the LOGI tokens will be provided by the Smart Containers Group for the formation of fixed capital, the initialization of the ecosystem and the integration of the first logistics partners. The remaining tokens (5%) will be used for bounty programs. Hard cap these tokens are $ 4 million.
How to buy tokens?
To buy SMARC or LOGI tokens, you need to register on the site.
Tokens can be purchased
- for crypto-currencies: BTC and ETH;
- for fiat currencies when paying by credit card: USD, CHF, EUR.
The minimum investment amount is $ 500. All investors will have to pass the KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) verification processes by Swiss law.
SMARC / LOGI tokens will be distributed no later than 30 days after the sale of tokens is closed. They have the open source code. After buying and signing a special agreement, each investor will receive an email indicating the number of SMARC / LOGI tokens, as well as the date and time of receipt of the tokens on his wallet.
ICO
ICO will begin in June 2018. The ICO plans to sell 12.8 million tokens, which is $ 5 million. The first level of tokens will be sold at a discount of 15%, the second -10%, the third - 5%.
The remaining SMARC tokens will be offered privately to 35 regional institutional investors.
