Introduction
Logistics management plays a crucial role within the modern global economy. From fresh food products to clothes, almost everything you can find in your neighborhood retail store were once loaded onto a container or truck and transported from one place to another.
For example, in the health care industry, new diseases emerge everyday and billions of dollars are spent annually to manufacture and distribute drugs to people around the world and help them stay healthy. Without insulin pills, from say Denmark, the personal physician in Cairo may not be able to help his patients. However, we must recognize the fact that these drugs have to be specially handled and transported to Egypt for them to retain value and quality.
The Problems
To meet up with the demands of of modern global trade, the logistics industry need to be more receptive to new technologies. A case in point is in the distribution of sensitive drugs and perishable food products. The distribution channels are fraught with wastes (of time and resources) and some of these goods lose value before getting to the final consumers. This challenge bears down heavily on food and Pharma industries.
The international logistics process is very cumbersome, expensive, and time-consuming. To ship a container of drugs between two countries requires not less than 200 different documents, emails, and personnel. Highly centralized solutions like SAP offer little as well because such platforms aren't built to handle humongous number of transactions and are prone to human errors.
According to the World Health Organization, about 40% of lifesaving vaccines are spoiled due to deviations in temperature during shipping. Over $2.5 Billion of these have to be discarded every year. Imagine the huge loss!
Besides, food distribution is also witnessing the same challenges. We have seen numerous scandals involving compromised safety standards in the food logistics industry.
Smart Containers Group as a Viable Logistics Solution
Smart Containers Group is a Swiss-based tech company providing the best temperature-regulated containers for distributing sensitive Pharma and food products across the world. The company uses innovative technologies combined with unique solutions to make itself a global leader in logistics services.
The company was borne 8 years ago out of researches and collaborations with reputable research institutions in Germany and Switzerland.
The result of such partnership is a 2-division company with exceptional growth to become a major player in the logistics industry.
Its 1st Division company called SkyCell was launched 5 years ago and handles pharmaceutical logistics. It has rapidly grown to become the 4th largest pharmaceutical container provider in the world. The company also enjoys strategic partnerships with industry giants like Cargolux and Emirates as well as a dynamic presence in major countries of the world.
The Group's 2nd division company FoodGuardians is also poised to disrupt the entire food logistics industry with cutting-edge facilities and innovative softwares.
It's not as if Smart Containers Group has no competitors. In fact, about 25 other companies are still active in this niche. However, the Group combines latest tech innovations with never-seen-before business solutions to set itself apart from others. Some of the company's advantages include:
Being developed on viable tech foundations.
Featuring containers with negligible temperature deviation (0.1) which is 75 times more dependable than what competitors have to offer.
Miles Ahead of Competitors
The two divisions, SkyCell and FoodGuardians, are clearly light years ahead of other industry players. For instance, the SkyCell ONE invented by the company is an innovative container for preserving temperature-sensitive Pharma products. The small containers are designed to deliver these products, such as syringe and drugs, directly to patients by mail.
Unlike styrofoam boxes being used by other companies, every container used by Smart Containers Group is eco-friendly and recyclable. The reusable containers are portable and cost-effective, capable of being used over 3 days to control temperature, rechargeable, and can be taken along on business trips and holidays.
Blockchain Integration
All SkyCell and FoodGuardians containers are capable of being tracked in real time through multiple gateways built on block chain technology. Elements of scalability and costs effectiveness are conferred on the logistics process by this innovative technology. For instance, while SkyCell processes over 5 million data per month, it doesn't require 200 documents or non-integrated manual mails to do so. Everything is done by a decentralized platform built on a centralized blockchain technology for reduced cost and effectiveness.
The public documents are hosted on public block chain platforms like Bitcoin and Ethereum, while private ones are placed on private networks such as Fabric.
Industry stakeholders can easily access these online papers and conduct necessary processing without hitches.
There are major players already signing up to be part of this new development in the industry which is creating an integrated logistics ecosystem called LOGICHAIN. The goal is to ultimately eliminate paperwork and other delays in logistics services and automate billings by using cryptocurrencies.
A LOGICHAIN Foundation is to be created to regulate the whole community and a utility token called LOGI Coin is to be launched. LOGI Coin will become the premier currency for processing shipment payments. It will ensure payment security and reduce global shipping costs.
Smart Containers Group intends to raise a total of $40 million by issuing Smarc Coin ($36 million) and LOGI Coin ($4 million) in its ongoing ICO.
Team Behind the Innovation
Smart Containers Group is founded by a wonderful team of business and tech gurus led by the able Richard Ettl (CEO & founder; formerly of the Bobst Group). Others include Nico Ros (co-founder), Andreas Ernst (CTO), Thomas Taroni (Head of IT), and Carla Bünger (CMO & BDM).
