INTRODUCTION TO THIS LIFE CHANGING PROJECT

Smart Containers Group, is a Swiss-based technology company that provides the safest temperature-controlled containers to transport sensitive pharma goods and food around the world. Our goal is to secure sensitive goods and to make sure no one ever receives a compromised product. The unique combination of cutting-edge hardware, highly efficient software and unique services, has placed Smart Containers Group as a fast-growing service provider and highly attractive investment proposition with a potential exit scenario within a few years.

The GOAL at Smart Containers Group aims to substantially grow its business to meet global standards in high-value pharma and food distribution. To scale the business, the management has decided to approach the cryptocurrency community for funding of USD 36 m via the SMARC token, that grants 20% of future profits (dividends and potential exit gains). The logistics revolution, however, will come from our second project. The management has detected a game changing opportunity to create a fully integrated, seamless logistic ecosystem, open to all entities within the industry and based on blockchain technology. This ecosystem will be called LOGI CHAIN. To build and fuel this open source ecosystem, a utility token will be created under the name LOGI token. An independent foundation will be the sentinel of the LOGI token and the LOGI CHAIN economics. To fund this project, a small part of the LOGI token in the value of USD 4 m will be offered to the crypto community.

Why is this an interesting project for the cryptocurrency community?

Smart Containers Group is an established company which is already operational and generating revenues. Most other ICO‘s only have an idea and a whitepaper.
Smart Containers Group is a highly attractive Swiss high-tech company, financed by investments from high net worth individuals and family offices.
SkyCell, part of Smart Containers Group already has close to 100 patents and two strategic partners, Emirates and Cargolux, giving our blockchain technology direct acces to the industry.
We will establish a powerful and profitable logistics system. We have a proven track record on the hardware side, and now we will focus on software by:
• Invoicing through smart contract payments in cryptocurrencies
• Tracking using blockchain technology
• Creating the perfect autonomous shipping parcel

Revolutionizing the logistic industry

As part of our proposition, we are conducting an additional project to distrupt and revolutionize the logistics industry. Many in the blockchain community believe the new solutions generated through this technology will disrupt two industries first: finance and logistics.

We agree with this view and see the potential. As experts with solid business relationships with the largest industry players, we have decided to tackle logistics. History has shown, that disruption will not come from large conglomerates, but from small, agile and innovative entities that know the industry and can afford to overthrow certain rules. This is us. We proved our skills by launching completely new, cutting-edge technology containers five years ago. We entered the market as a ‘nobody’, and today we are recognized as the best solution on the market with the fourth largest fleet of pharma containers worldwide. In getting here, we’ve come to realize how inefficient and complex the logistics process is. To ship a parcel between two countries, some two hundred different documents and communications (manual emails) are needed to align every party to the shipping process. It is more expensive to administer a shipment than to execute it.

Some examples of documents needed for just one temperature-sensitive air freight shipment include:
• Documents of origin
• Material safety sheet
• Airway bill
• Bill of lading
• Transport order
• Customs declaration documents & bills
• Invoices
• Product data sheet
• Storage conditions
• Transport conditions
• Multiple service provider billings
• Licenses

THE PROBLEM WITH THE CENTRALIZED PROCESS

We have indentified an important opportunity to create a fully integrated, seamless logistics ecosystem, open to all participants within the industry and based on blockchain technology. This ecosystem will be called LOGI CHAIN. The goal is to eliminate paper and disconnected information like email. The second step will be to automate billing of containers through smart contracts and cryptocurrencies.

Here‘s how the plan works: A physical logistics unit (e.g. a container, parcel, product, etc.) is mirrored as a virtual product (chip) on blockchain infrastructure. The virtual chip is available to every user at minimal cost. Various documents and attributes can be linked to the chip and made accessible to the relevant parties in the process (e.g. customs officers, freight forwarders, contractors, shippers, buyers, warehouse workers).

DECENTRALIZATION THE SOLUTION TO THE LONG LIST PROCESS

This ecosystem will generate considerable efficiencies such as reducing costs, shipping delays and CO2 by eliminating paper and un-integrated emails. This will culminate in the creation of an autonomous shipping parcel that is invoiced automatically through smart contracts and paid for in cryptocurrencies. As this information is available in real time, the relevant parties will be able to take action quickly when a problem occurs in the supply chain.

ROAD MAP

TOKEN SALE AND INFORMATION
The maximum total supply is 150 m tokens. 120 m tokens (80%) will be offered in the initial coin offering, while the rest will be used to cover the ICO costs and align the interests of the Smart Containers management. The hard cap for the ICO is USD 36 m. The price per token is fixed at USD 0.432.

Pre-Sale
The token pre-sale will be private and will be conducted by invitation only. The pre-sale starts in April and comes with a 25% discount. The number of tokens sold at 25% discount is hard capped at 49.3 m tokens (= 41%), raising USD 16 m.

Public Sale
The public token sale starts in May. 12.8 m tokens will be sold during the public sale, raising USD 5 m. The first tier will be sold with a discount of 15%. The second tier will be discounted by 10% and the third tier comes with a discount of 5%. Oversubscriptions to a bonus tier will be allocated to the following tier. The estimated current bonus tier will be visible on our website (www.smartcontainers.ch). The displayed amount may change due to changing exchange rates and is therefore indicative. Final bonus tier and token allocation will be carried out post transaction. Over subscriptions to the entire ICO will be returned to the investors after the closure of the sale.
