Cibus and Solutions for Food Distribution Chain

Dietary supplements and foods have played a major role in our live but some of challenges are happening not only on its distribution but also quality of the products themselves. With Cibus, however, the challenges to food ecosystem are met and solved. Not only users can track the products to ensure their qualities and safety, they can also use this platform to form their own communities. It is hoped that future world with cleaner and healthier foods can be achieved and created.

Cibus and Its Basic Concept

People today have gained a new awareness of healthy foods, including the importance of dietary supplements. Natural and organic products are created with minimum artificial sweeteners, pesticides, and other pollutants. The problem is, not all manufacturers are honest. Some of them are more interested in the profit oriented without paying attention to quality and health. As if it weren’t enough, problems during distribution, high cost rate, and lack of security are adding up challenges. It isn’t only manufacturers who suffer but also buyers as end users.

Cibus, however, is determined to solve those challenges. Aside from targeting the B2B (business to business) platform, they are creating efficient mechanism for B2C (business to customer) sector. There are a lot of things to do in this platform, such as tracking the products to ensure their qualities. Members can also manage transactions, whether it is for dietary supplements, raw materials, or final food products. With this platform, it is hoped that security, trust, efficiency, quality, transparency, and reliability can be enhanced. Moreover, this platform allows social community interaction which means that members can interact between one another, not only in this digital world but within the real world too.

Just like other businesses, managing food ecosystem isn’t easy because there are some of the challenging conditions. Trust, for a starter, has been a major issue. Not only businesses are worried with the possibility that they may not be paid, buyers have their own concerns of chemical contamination, pathogen microbes, pesticides involvement, or food poisoning. Without the power to trace back to the manufacturers, buyers are powerless. Traceability is the second major issue. Without it, it is so easy to fall into false claim, misleading (even fake) labels, or even fake products.

Moreover, high cost is also a major issue, mostly because of middle men, which also leads to lack of social engagement. Middle men are responsible for creating gap between manufacturers and end users. Let’s not forget that lack of social proof is one of the major issue, mostly because buyers are somewhat kept separated, not giving them chances for reviews or feedbacks. Most of these end users complain the lack of reviews, insights, and feedbacks that keep them clueless. Whenever they want to try something new, it leaves them in a confusing state. In one side, they are interested in the claimed benefits but in another side, they aren’t sure whether those products are safe and they are as good as claimed.

How Cibus Solves the Problems

Cibus isn’t a magical platform but it has been designed through the most careful and meticulous systems only, leading to better users experience with some of its greater benefits. First of all, this platform allows products trace, which isn’t only beneficial for the buyers but also for manufacturers. Manufacturers can track their products, to which points their distribution has taken place, while buyers can trace any products to their specific manufacturers, making sure that the products are safe, clean, and healthy. Managing trade is also possible within this platform, especially for B2B operation. Smart contracts are used instead of middle men so costs will remain low and affordable. Distribution can also be made directly from manufacturers to buyers so it really eliminates high cost and long distribution chain.

Not to mention that Cibus encourage social networking where users provide reviews and feedbacks. Collaboration between manufacturers and suppliers is possible with safe and solid platform. Anything is possible as long as it is super safe and reliable.

Let’s not forget the crucial role of the cryptocurrency. As the major payment method, it encourages easier and simpler payment management. Operational fee is lower, compared to traditional system. In an overall retrospective, this platform offers tons of flexibility and easiness with better safety and security without compromising quality and service.
