SMART CONTAINERS { Temperature sensitive logistics. Revolutionized.}

ABOUT US

Smart Containers combines cutting-edge container technology and IoT sensors integrated into a logistics ecosystem. All on the blockchain.

Smart Containers Group is a Swiss-based high-tech company that provides the safest temperature-controlled containers to transport sensitive pharma goods and food around the world. Our goal is to safely transport sensitive goods and ensure no-one ever receives a compromised product. The unique combination of cutting-edge hardware, highly efficient software and unique services has made Smart Containers Group to a rapidly growing service provider and highly attractive investment object.

The combination of hardware, software and service enables Smart Containers Group to assertively position its division company SkyCell among the top four providers of pharma containers in the industry.

Through the FoodGuardians division, the next generation of reusable containers and boxes to transport temperature sensitive food products will be offered regionally and globally, preserving the product’s freshness and traceability.

Using blockchain as transformative technology in logistics, Smart Containers Group is driven by the opportunity to create the LOGI CHAIN, a fully integrated, seamless logistic ecosystem that will be accessible to all industry players at minimal cost. Therefore, Smart Containers Group will lead the way towards a more efficient, client-centric and cost-effective industry standard.

=> Containers are vital for transporting temperature-sensitive goods such as food and pharma as they protect against adverse temperature and humidity.

=> In pharma, this means medicine travels safely from factory to patient.

=> In food, this translates to fresher produce from farm to table.

=> Through SkyCell, Smart Containers has become the no. 4 player in the global pharmaceutical transport B2B market in less than 4 years.

=> SkyCell is entering the direct to patient market, which is significantly larger and driven by patient needs.

=> Smart Containers has recently entered the food transport space and is launching with the leading partner in Europe in 2018.

THECNOLOGY

>> SOFTWARE <<

• Blockchain Ecosystem “LOGI CHAIN”

Nico Ros => CTO & Co-Founder (“Well-established processes often generate inefficiencies that we simply accept. And of course everyone knows change is painful. But at Smart Containers, we see things differently. Change is the only way to improve. We think that every process should not only be optimized but redefined and redesigned. Logistics today is highly centralized. It’s incredibly inefficient. So many wasted kilometers to huge warehouses.”).

Richard Ettl => CEO & Co-Founder (“By using blockchain technology, we can decentralize logistics and create autonomous containers – container 4.0. This container will know who’s renting it, when the contract ends and when to invoice the customer. That’s why we’ve created the LOGI CHAIN platform. It allows us to create a seamless, fully integrated, digital logistics process that everyone can use for free.”).

• LOGI CHAIN goals

=> Eliminate paper and disconnected information like email from the shipment process

=> Automate billing throughout the supply chain and reduce transaction fees by accepting cryptocurrencies as payment

=> Provide services for the whole logistics community, including logistics players, airlines, sea freight companies, customs brokers and more

>> HARDWARE <<

• The autonomous Container 4.0

Our vision is to create the Container 4.0 – the ultimate smart container that protects temperature-sensitive goods while managing itself autonomously. We already have the the highest performance containers on the market thanks to our cutting-edge insulation and cooling technology, but now we want to go one better.

• Insulation

More than 50 man-years of research and development were poured into creating an unprecedented, highly efficient insulation solution. This cutting-edge technology reflects the maximum of radiation while minimizing heat conduction. It is the most patent-protected insulation technology on the market.

• Temperature barrier

Our ingenious R&D team invented a completely new cooling technology that stores five times more energy than traditional methods, keeping the container at a steady temperature. All containers based on SMART CONTAINERS technology are automatically recharged in a cold storage or refrigerated trucks without any manual input. No mistakes can be made since all parts are integrated and fixed.

ICO

The SMARC token (SMARC) is a profit share token: 20% of future dividends and exit profits will be paid out to token holders. It is upon the Board of Directors of Smart Containers Group to make a proposal on how much dividends will be attributed year by year. Subsequently the General Assembly of Smart Containers Group approves or rejects the dividend plan. A payment equivalent to 20% of this amount is converted to Ether and sent to the SMARC token smart contract. The SMARC token smart contract evaluates the current holdings and dis- tributes the profits to the token holders in Ether. 

In the event of an exit of one of the sub divisions, the same process as described above applies. The maximum total supply is 150 M tokens. 120 M tokens (80%) are offered in the initial coin offering, while the rest is used to cover the ICO costs and align interest 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

Token pre-sale is private and will be conducted on 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 are sold during the public sale, raising USD 5 M. The first tier is sold with a discount of 15%. The second tier is discounted by 10% and the third tier comes at a discount of 5%. 

Oversubscriptions of a bonus tier get allocated to the following tier. The estimated current bonus tier is visible on the website (www.smartcontainers.ch). The displayed amount may change due to changing exchange rates and is therefore indicative. Final bonus tier and token allocation is done post transaction. Oversubscriptions of the whole ICO are returned to the investors after the closing of the sale. 

• Private Sale

The rest of the SMARC tokens are offered in a private sale to institutional investors.
