ABOUT
is a Swiss-based technology company that provides the safest temperature-controlled containers to transport sensitive pharma goods and food around the world. Our goal is to secure sensitive goods and to make sure no one ever receives a compromised product. The unique combination of cutting-edge hardware, highly efficient software and unique services, has placed Smart Containers Group as a fast-growing service provider and highly attractive investment proposition with a potential exit scenario within a few years.Smart Containers Group is a growing high potential company already. Why does it raise funds through an ICO rather than venture capital companies?
-Smart Containers Group has raised more than USD 25 m of investments through private investors for all its companies (Smart Containers Group, SkyCell & FoodGuardians) in traditional financing rounds.
-It is in its company structure a highly lucrative target for venture capital and private equity investors. The goal however, is to rely on a larger network of involved supporters and investors, which do not limit its entrepreneurial activities to financials, but supports it in a sustainable way.
-A fund raise through an ICO will allow Smart Containers Group to go beyond the current limitations, thus resulting in a wider reach of interested persons and an immutable audit trail of transactions on the blockchain.
-The ICO will allow Smart Containers Group to keep control of all entities and not be forced to exit in a predefined amount of years. The founders and majority shareholders prefer to scale the business in the pace that they deem healthy and sustainable. They are not in for a quick return but for the fulfillment of building a truly valuable business that helps to improve the world.
Smart Containers Group:
Technology leading high tech container
provider to push logistic boundaries
Scaling our existing activities: At Smart Containers Group, we began to solve these logistical problems
8 years ago, when we decided to research different technological
solutions for moving goods, in calloboration with scientific labs
(EMPA – Leading Swiss Institute for materials science and testing;
Fraunhofer Institute – leading German Institute for materials science
and testing), financed by various research grants. Today, we have achieved considerable economic success in our
primary field - pharma logistics - through our first division company
SkyCell (www.skycell.ch). In less than 5 years, SkyCell has grown into
the fourth largest pharma container provider with a globally available
pool, a strong client base, strategic partnerships (Emirates & Cargolux)
and over 80 team members around the world (35 employees and 45
subcontractors). Our company is growing fast, and we are very proud
of what we have achieved so quickly.
SkyCells` container fleet today:
Revolutionizing the logistic industry:As part of our proposition, we are conducting an additional project to
distrupt and revolutionize the logistics industry. Many in the blockchain
community believe the new solutions generated through this technology
will disrupt two industries first: finance and logistics.
We agree with this view and see the potential. As experts with solid
business relationships with the largest industry players, we have decided
to tackle logistics. History has shown, that disruption will not
come from large conglomerates, but from small, agile and innovative
entities that know the industry and can afford to overthrow certain
rules. This is us. We proved our skills by launching completely new,
cutting-edge technology containers five years ago. We entered the
market as a ‘nobody’, and today we are recognized as the best solution
on the market with the fourth largest fleet of pharma containers
worldwide.
In getting here, we’ve come to realize how inefficient and complex
the logistics process is. To ship a parcel between two countries,
some two hundred different documents and communications (manual
emails) are needed to align every party to the shipping process.
It is more expensive to administer a shipment than to execute it.
Some examples of documents needed for just one temperature-sensitive
air freight shipment include:
• Documents of origin.
• Material safety sheet.
• Airway bill.
• Bill of lading.
• Transport order.
• Customs declaration
documents & bills.
• Invoices.
• Product data sheet.
• Storage conditions.
• Transport conditions.
• Multiple service
provider billings.
• Licenses.
The logistics process requires large teams on all sides to tackle this
email flood and generate the correct invoices. Meanwhile, huge SAP
centralization projects have failed to produce desired outcomes. With
so much inefficiency, it is evident that the situation is highly ripe for
disruption.
Problem & Solution.
The problem: centralized processes
We have indentified an important opportunity to create a fully integrated,
seamless logistics ecosystem, open to all participants within the
industry and based on blockchain technology. This ecosystem will be
called LOGI CHAIN. The goal is to eliminate paper and disconnected
information like email. The second step will be to automate billing of
containers through smart contracts and cryptocurrencies. Here‘s how the plan works: A physical logistics unit (e.g. a container,
parcel, product, etc.) is mirrored as a virtual product (chip) on blockchain
infrastructure. The virtual chip is available to every user at minimal
cost. Various documents and attributes can be linked to the chip
and made accessible to the relevant parties in the process (e.g. customs
officers, freight forwarders, contractors, shippers, buyers, warehouse
workers).
The solution: decentralize
Some documents will be open to the public and can be viewed by
everyone on a public blockchain like Ethereum. Other more sensitive
and private documents will require a permissioned blockchain
infrastructure such as Fabric or Corda. Other infrastructures such as
NEM, EOS or NEO are considered as well. The different parties in the
shipping process will access the documents through an open source
reader.
This ecosystem will generate considerable efficiencies such as reducing
costs, shipping delays and CO2
by eliminating paper and unintegrated
emails.This will culminate in the creation of an autonomous
shipping parcel that is invoiced automatically through smart contracts
and paid for in cryptocurrencies. As this information is available in real
time, the relevant parties will be able to take action quickly when a
problem occurs in the supply chain.
