You don’t have to be an expert to see that areas like car rentals, taxi services, public transportation, private airplane flights or even bicycle renting have some significant drawbacks - yes, we are talking about the multiple issues that users and companies are dealing with, now, in 2018. Most of the times, a lot of paperwork is needed, or transactions and operations are very delayed. The registration of various services requires a lot of resources. As a customer, often, options are very limited.
And though recent centralized or independent services that were developed to face some of the problems seem to attract more and more of the world’s attention, they are not actually addressing the actual issues. Nor they are effectively targeting to change the paradigm of this huge global market. How should these problems be approached? Let’s have a quick look at one of the boldest, most attractive and efficient platforms ever designed to improve the transportation market:
Introducing Helbiz - peer-to-peer vehicle sharing
We are living great, revolutionizing times, when decentralizing the data becomes the norm and gives people the fantastic opportunity to transform operations or entire industries. That is why some of the buzzwords of the last years are peer-to-peer. This phrase, initially born in the IT industry, is associated with the concept of computer networks that can act as servers not from a central unit but through, the input of each computer. This system permits shared access to files (or peripherals) as it is, eliminating the need for a central server.
So how does this influence the transportation area?
Correlate the peer-to-peer concept with the advantages offered by the Ethereum Blockchain - “an open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform and operating system featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality. Ethereum is considered to be one of the pioneer platforms in distributed ledger and blockchain technology" and add a set of unique features to it. - Source: Wikipedia
What do you get?
- A modern, intuitive and extremely affordable way of renting almost all sort of vehicles (from bicycles, motorbikes to cars, jet flights etc)
- A system that repays its users for the data they share and the actions they choose to make
- A complex mobility ecosystem that offers access to various transportation options
- A Blockchain based platform powered by its own tokens (HelbizCoin - HBZ)
- An increased focus on the customer
- A peer-to-peer vehicle sharing that transforms the rental process as we know it; it makes it instantaneous, with a few simple interactions with a dedicated phone app. Did you know that Helbiz transforms your phone into a digital ignition key?
- A new way to extend insurances to all the parties involved
- A seamless blockchain child of Airbnb, Hertz, and Uber
Thus, just like Salvatore Palella, the founder of this platform states, “Helbiz is decentralizing the sharing economy, ensuring lower prices and higher earnings for all users, while monetizing the data for the individual user.”
Moreover, Helbiz is just about to launch its very own presale (with attractive discounts), on the 15th of February! Learn more about this platform, the ICO, download the whitepaper and spread the news - start by visiting https://www.helbiz.com/
