About

We're creating an automated marketplace to help small businesses realize economies of scale that mammoth logistics networks (big box stores, DHL) realize using our collaborative logistics platform. Our Saas platform integrates with small business inventory systems. Customer resources (inventory, services provided, and needs) are modeled and semantically marked up using standards based modeling technology. These modeled resources are the subject of exchange in an automated marketplace that we host. How resources are exchanged varies widely depending on the items exchanged, the types of stakeholders involved, and the motivations and concerns of those stakeholders. We enable a high level of transaction automation by saving them as models. The transaction models preserve the ability to insert human to human interaction where its critical to the transaction outcome. Economies of scale are introduced with P2P logistics optimizations, waste repurposing and delivery route optimization.
