First In The World: CargoX’s Blockchain Platform Is Open for Business
Nov. 14, 2018, 9:27 a.m.
(Hong Kong, Ljubljana - 14 November 2018) - CargoX is launching the CargoX platform to become the first open, neutral, and accessible blockchain platform in the shipping industry for freight forwarders, NVOCCs, exporters and importers.
The platform can be used by businesses of any size. It was recently selected as the winning innovation at the IRU World Congress and shortlisted at the Financial Times 2018 Intelligent Business Awards, among top world logistics companies, and it won Blockchain Innovation Award at the #DataccioConnect event in Dubai.
The CargoX platform is based on the CargoX’s Blockchain Document Transaction System Technology (BDTS). This revolutionary solution gives companies the power to create, transfer, and state undoubted ownership of information or documentation, and the various types of maritime shipping documents are only the first to be available - among them the master bill of lading, house bill of lading, telex and express releases, switch bill of lading, sea waybills, and other types of documents and custom attachments.
The solution is already being implemented by numerous partners around the globe, and companies can start using it within days - integration not required.
