The world they say is a global village and our near and dear ones are now scattered far and wide. In terms of trade and business as well, MNCs have branched themselves into the entire stack of countries and continents. We relocate and translocate for work, education and other reasons as such delivery and courier systems to reach back to our people or reach clients, procure materials, supply goods or else documents or any other possible movable commodity. Often the courier and package delivery services enjoy a monopoly, charge exorbitant prices and cause loss or damage to packages and parcels. The customers especially those with offshore and long distance requirements. Often thefts, lengthy paperwork and unnecessary delays on part of the firms render the parcel useless or else expired. With blockchain overthrowing centralization and inefficiencies all over the net, need is for a disruption in the courier industry as well.
Before I really get into the project, a small example to demonstrate the utilities to which Shipit introduces us all. Remember the times when one of our friend or relative is going to a foreign country and we ask him to bring loads of stuff for us or when we stack our already burdened relative who is visiting a city where your son or daughter might be staying. These informal deliveries have existed for a long time and we never realized its commercial significance.
Shipit takes into account the fact that the future belongs to sharing economy. It aims to work around the lines of Airbnb, Zipcar, and Uber that are the biggest names in the sharing cum hiring home rentals and taxi services right now. Shipit will work as a mobile app that connects senders and travelers around the globe and provides them with a cost-effective, fast and reliable solution to deliver packages.
SHIPIT is a symbiosis of best ideas and practices of the courier, crowdsource and crowdshipping services.
It uses blockchain and smart contracts to make people's lives easier around the world with relationships based on transparency and safety. The app provides the use with crypto wallet it reduces the restrictions related to fiat currencies.
The users will pass verification to build a friendly community based on crowd source models and sharing community. Wherever you are, you are sure to find someone who could make a delivery for you for even +1000 kilometers and you could still save money.
How does it work?
The app is user-friendly. All you need is to take a picture of the item you need to get shipped using your smartphone camera, next input the point of A and B of the journey, set the size and value of your item and the amount you are ready to pay.
You can communicate with candidates, choose, the one that suits you, hand off your article and then tracks the delivery.
Any error committed in delivery by the traveler results in a ban from the system. The users though fully verified are required to keep a deposit which favors both the senders and the travelers to ensure the safety of transactions. All the activities are hashed on the network while it uses neural networks to include algorithms automating and accommodating the flow and traffic. It boasts of a host of other security and safety features to ensure smooth functioning.
