Currently the cargo cruise market has in common with the taxi market before being conquered by internet companies: it is not transparent, chaotic and split between regional companies, not due to competition but due to internal reasons and unknown rules.
Not many people realize that transport logistics is a huge field that can be compared to the largest global industry in terms of size. However, regardless of the volume, this field is largely fragmented and inefficient, with a wide presence of intermediaries and non-transparent business schemes. This definition can get to the lower levels associated with developing countries and developed countries.
Logistics is not just about moving cargo. It also involves the movement of a large amount of information about the shipper and receiver, the nature of the payload, how to handle and pack it, what to do with this item at the final destination, and so forth. It goes without saying that logistics deals with large documents that make this complicated industry even more opaque. The final recipient can not trace the path that has been made by the load before it reaches the recipient.
All applications and services ever found in the logistics business are offered by large or small transport companies. Their software has always been a tool for automation processes.
Explanation About Quasa
QUASA - is a decentralized system that involves blockchain and consists of several smart contracts around the block and crypto chip itself. Such an approach brings the development of logistics technology to an entirely new level and ensures total security and privacy within the entire supply chain.
System functions are designed to protect cargo owners and operators through blocking technology and smart-contract technology to eliminate possible issues related to trust, information barriers, and legal costs. Target audience services operate on models b2b, b2c and even c2c.
Logistics is associated with many aspects that are difficult to consider in a single IT solution. That is why the QUASA platform has helped attract experts among leaders in this field to avoid the shortcomings forgotten by potential competitors.
The QUASA platform is a system product created by a consortium of the most powerful, competent and experienced logistics companies and logistics organizations in Russia, the CIS, and other countries around the world. These entities collaborate with leading Russian logistics, enterprise and association organizations, worldwide, based on vendor agreements, partner contracts, and memoranda.
The essence of the problem to be solved by the project
For now the average commission for intermediary services during transport is equal to 10-25% of the order price. At the same time details of this amount and its modification can not be controlled by the customer.
The majority of risks in logistics are related to finances and soft spots in transferring misinformed or incomplete information.
Replacement of centralized services with SMARTCONTRACT and BLOCKCHAIN technologies will ensure transparency in the logistics market. The commission generation will become clear, and the prices for services will be reduced thanks to open and transparent interactions between all supply chain participants. QUASA technology will greatly reduce the time, financial, and labor resources involved in the delivery process. At the same time new markets will be open to operators while the QUASA platform will serve as a benchmark for the quality of services offered in the market.
Solution
Its main task is to make logistics cheaper so that its share in the total price of goods as small as possible.
Risk of hidden damage: Online GPS tracking of cargo locations and conditions is done using blockchain technology. In the early stages QUASA will be integrated with existing tracking technology providers through its protocol (https, mqtt, etc.). Data will be collected and shown to end users.
The risk of bankruptcy of cargo owners: Authorized supplier authorization and cargo owners increase the level of total responsibility. By using contemporary DLT technology, QUASA will provide private license suppliers. Other organizations must receive and verify this data.
Solution for exchange and tax risk: QuasaCoin is a single virtual currency in which all QUASA settlements will be conducted.
Insurance is insufficient: Automatic cargo insurance assumptions are not only at risk of partner opportunistic behavior but also the risk of force majeure damage.
High information and price barrier issues: A single information system performs efficient data analysis and stops signal equipment downtimes. Thanks to this, the delay is reduced while the total efficiency is increased. forecasts help lower port loads and improve planning horizons while avoiding congestion. Clients may choose a shipping mode that meets the requirements for additional prices, conditions and services. A relatively low service commission (2-3% versus 8-15% for conventional forwarders and 10-25% for brokers) is what makes QUASA different from other field competitors.
Solutions For Marketing
QUASA involves several suppliers and operators to gain step-by-step integration from all supply chain participants into the delivery platform, and this requires an integrated register.
An open list proposed by Cisco Systems seems to be the right solution. The use of standard realization will help to secure seamless integration with other IOT services (Internet Things that connect objects with the Internet, thus helping to analyze and get data about the object in question).
Thanks to the implementation of this register, the data will be transferred to the service in an integrated format. With the help of these registers, our clients will be able to use more detailed contracts that will enable wider process automation.
What is the difference between our product and the existing solution
Unlike many other similar projects that have been introduced to the market recently, QUASA is not just a clone created without regard to the issue of the cargo shipping market, the difficulties faced by cargo shippers, or operator needs.
Instead, QUASA gives end users a new model for cargo shipping organizations with a simple interface and allows the creation of orders according to favorable conditions possible with just a few mouse clicks.
This product will not be used for the "forced" unification of all processes in an existing and successful company. Every company is offered to undergo accreditation according to standards developed by leaders and experts in logistics. Compliance with this standard provides access to all solutions provided by this service. The company arranges cargo shipments without having to switch to intermediaries.

Product Quasa
A project team consisting of logistic and IT specialists has developed a functioning service prototype. This allows us to analyze market needs and compare them to the full realization of the project.
- Tariff calculation from 18 international operators.
- Air company tariff calculation received through API or from its own database.
- Personal area system, including partner area.
- Stock cargo
- Admin panel
This prototype includes the basic functions of QUASA cargo owners, which will be available in Q2 2018. Later this function will be equipped with modules designed to engage other logistics network participants.
The job with the platform starts with the access page. Here every member of the system must enter the login and password obtained during the registration process.
