Implementing competitive auctions & crowd-sourced ratings to improve services
The platform was designed to help the company scale its services. This supports its goal of expanding the freight exchange while improving service and user value.
Blockchain technology was central to creating a secure environment for transactions. This helped to reduce risks and build trust. We implemented a real-time freight exchange and auction system. This allowed for dynamic pricing, offering forwarders and carriers more flexibility in choice.

- Real-time freight exchange: allows customers immediate access to available transport services. Clients can book freight services efficiently and quickly.
- Auction system for orders: enables carriers and customers to engage in a competitive bidding process. In short, it allows for fair pricing and better choices.
- A full rating system: uses a crowd-sourced rating system to evaluate service providers. Both carriers & forwarders can be confident in the quality and reliability of services.
