CargoX Brazil

Thanks to the CargoX Blockchain Platform, the shipping industry will save time, money, and headaches. It uses the CargoX Blockchain Document Transaction System(BDTS) to solve the frustrations that traditional documentation can cause when tracking shipments. Using the CargoX Blockchain Platform, any exporter or company involved in logistics can send a blockchain-based bill of lading to its recipient.

Normally, documents such as bill of ladings are stored in a single location, and then sent out either in a physical format or in an email, which makes it difficult to see a history of ownership, authorize users, or to track any changes. This can be a problem for shipping companies, who use bill of ladings to track goods. But a blockchain-based bill of lading solves all of those problems.

How CargoX Blockchain Works

All of this is possible thanks to the Ethereum network, which is a decentralized open-source platform that allowed CargoX to develop the BDTS. Its open-source, decentralized nature protects the records from being changed or lost. Only the owner of the private key associated with the Smart Bill of Lading public key can transfer the document, and because the records are stored on the public blockchain, their transfer histories cannot be changed, for malicious purposes or otherwise.

CargoX is a fantastic Brazilian trucking startup company that Goldman Sachs funded with a $10 million dollar investment.

Some people are referring to CargoX as if it is a type of Uber for the trucking industry. The startup announced that it reached its $10 million goal almost effortlessly.

It is not a surprise that people refer to CargoX as being similar to Uber. Uber's founder, Oscar Salazary, had a lot to do with the startup. He was delighted to support the venture and says that he sees a great deal of potential in it because of the flawed trucking market in Brazil.

Salazar made nothing but positive statements about the start up. He said that it seemed to be a billion dollar opportunity. Information asymmetry is what he attributed to the company's potential.

Frederico Vega, the CEO of the company, said that the startup probably has a closer likeness to Airbnb than it does to Uber. Nevertheless, one of the company's main goals is to reduce costs for people who own freight. What it does is bridge the gap between truckers and businesses who need to move product. It finds truckers who have no freight in them and puts them together with the businesses that need them. This results in having two happy parties and less trucks traveling on the highways empty.
