Blog Lasmi19: SHIPIT = Help build new supply chains, make complex processes simpler and increase the efficiency of trunk space usage.

What is Shipit?

Mobile Application that connects senders and travelers from all over the world to provide a cost-efficient, fast and reliable solution for shipping parcels. Besides, it is an excellent way to make additional earnings during the trip. Shipit will help establish new supply chains, make complex processes simple and will increase efficiency of baggage space usage.

What is Sharing Economy?

Model of collaborative consumption based on the collective use of goods and services, barter and lease instead of ownership. There already are strong leaders in certain industries, such as Airbnb in travel, Zipcar and BlaBlaCar in carpooling.

What is Crowdshipping?

Delivery of goods by travelers.

How long does Shipit exist?

The idea was born in 2015. Active development began in 2016-17. In 2017 the application was successfully tested on the Moscow-New York route.

How does the application work?

Just take a picture of the item you want to send by your gadget camera, specify the destinations from A to B, the size and value of the parcel, as well as the fee you are willing to pay for the delivery. Then the system will select several travelers that match your requirements. Communicate with the candidates via in-built messenger, choose the best, hand off your package and track the delivery.

What is your competitive differentiation factor?

This is the first application using smart contracts and blockchain as a native tool that aims to make life easier for people around the world. Based on the blockchain, the app will keep transparent and protected record of interactions between its users. Our own crypto wallet will allow to make instant transactions with the minimum possible commissions, which eliminates problems and restrictions with fiat money.

What is the scope of the market?

The industry employs almost 3 million people and more than 600,000 companies. The income of the world market of courier services and parcel delivery companies at the moment is more than $240 B. According to the Accenture.com report, the express delivery market is expected to grow from $ 237.9 billion in 2017 to $ 343.1 billion by 2020.

Why do you use blockchain and smart contracts?

Integration of smart contracts is an important part of the development of automated and transparent processes. Smart contracts will unite users of the system and make them more responsible as the entire history of user activity will be recorded in the blockchain and will not be subject to any changes in the future. Each step of the user is checked by a smart contract which eliminates the possibility of errors or data manipulation. A traveler who fails to make the delivery will not be able to receive payment since it is limited by the invariance of the smart contract.

All personal data of users is coded in the hash and safely stored in the blockchain, so even intercepting the hash of a user gains nothing because it cannot be identified. The user's hash is formed based on personal data of user's ID. Even after deleting your account and registering again, the system will detect similarities by both direct and indirect properties and restore the record. Thus, the blockchain will seriously discipline the users of the application. In case of serious violation of rules, the system will permanently block the account without the right to restore. The constant struggle for high quality service is what makes Shipit client-oriented.

Integration of the cryptocurrency wallet will allow users to easily and quickly make and receive payments. Existing payment methods create certain barriers and prevent the application from scaling. In some jurisdictions an enterprise is required to pass long and costly bureaucratic procedures to be given a permission to conduct financial activity involving the residents of this jurisdiction. Therefore, the introduction of Shipit's crypto wallet and its own cryptocurrency is the best solution. We want to promote the technology of blockchain through a useful product and freedom of payment.
