What is the goal of CargoCoin?
The overarching goal of the CargoCoin platform is to optimize interactions in the international trade industry. This includes the interactions between traders, freight forwarders, shipping lines, booking agents, and various other groups that are involved in the process of international trade/transport of cargoes. In essence, the CargoCoin platform provides businesses with a global marketplace for international trade and transport.
CargoCoin will be able to optimize interactions in international trade for businesses by providing the highest-quality possible security, transparency, and accountability for businesses that use the CargoCoin platform. All of these services will be provided for businesses at an incredibly low cost, so that businesses can save more money. Large-scale businesses can potentially save millions of dollars using the CargoCoin platform; this is money that businesses would otherwise spend on unnecessary fees with traditional platforms.
How can businesses implement CargoCoin?
Businesses that wish to implement the CargoCoin platform into their existing business architecture can do so easily. This is because the CargoCoin platform is completely modular, which means that businesses can mix and match the various tools of the CargoCoin platform to fit their exact business needs. Businesses that don’t want to worry about customizing their documents can use standard forms and terms. Businesses can also create custom negotiated conditions and forms if they wish to. In this way, the CargoCoin platform is incredibly powerful.
Why is CargoCoin needed?
The sheer size of the transportation industry is immense. The global value of seaborne trade is over $12 million. The value of freight rates in 2018 was $380 billion. Unfortunately although the transportation industry is one of the largest (if not the largest) industries in the world, there still have not been that many technological advances within the shipping industry in the last several decades. CargoCoin is a revolutionary technological improvement for the shipping industry.
Although unbelievable, this is completely true: original documents are still delivered using a courier. The fact that these documents are delivered by courier in the 21st century is absolutely ridiculous! You don’t need a genius to understand that. That takes up a massive amount of time and money for a business, when that time and money could be more efficiently used elsewhere.
Businesses have also faced situations where payments for transportation have been delayed by banks. These bank delays are caused by major inefficiencies within the banking institutions. Deliveries can take weeks before they first begin their journey. These delays and excessive delivery times can lead to unexpected opportunity costs for a business. The CargoCoin platform removes these inefficiencies with blockchain technology,
