What is ShipChain.io?

The entire global economy is dependent on the successful transportation of goods. Delivery systems are an integral part of society that enable continued economic growth and prosperity.

The logistics market is one of the largest and most important markets in the world.

The problem is that this industry is also one of the slowest to adapt to change. As we enter 2018, our shipping and delivery methods are lagging behind by decades.

ShipChain.io is a revolutionary system that completely overhauls its predecessors and utilizes the power of the blockchain to bring unprecedented efficiency and transparency to this outdated market.

ShipChain.io is a fully integrated system across the entire supply chain. Products can be tracked and monitored from the moment they leave their original location, until they arrive at their final destination. The entire tracking process is transparent and accessible to parties that are involved, while still being safe and secure. This is accomplished through tracking individual encrypted geographic waypoints across all smart contracts.

How does ShipChain.io work?

ShipChain.io will act as a decentralized marketplace for businesses and delivery service providers. Using a friendly interface, businesses can have full control over their shipping. This will reduce cost, result in better service and prevent fraud.
