SLOGN Launches New Technology Platform That Has Instantly Added A New Paradigm In The Logistics Industry

SLOGN is an open source platform for decentralized logistics using blockchain and artificial intelligence.

Sometimes an idea is launched that is the result of such ingenuity and brilliance that is can vastly change an entire industry. Such is the case with SLOGN and its novel approach to providing a solution for all of the downsides of doing business in logistics.

Simply stated, SLOGN is Ripple for the Logistics Industry, while building an environment for apps to run on blockchain for logistics purposes, just like Status.im does for millennials. How business is conducted in the Logistics Industry will never be the same.

The logistics industry has become such a behemoth, in fact, it is a $700 Billion market segment, that its size and inherent bureaucracy has become an impediment to its efficiency. SLOGN has developed a platform that is years ahead of all others in bringing greater clarity for both the truckers and the shippers. Ask any trucker how they feel about waiting weeks or months to get paid on delivered shipments. They need to cover their expenses, such as fuel, labor, repairs and overhead. Imagine being able to get paid as soon as the shipment is received and approved by the receiver.

So what is so profound about the SLOGN offering?

Here is a partial list of features:

  • Instant Pay
  • Fuel Advance
  • Lumper Payments and Reimbursements
  • Contracts
  • Load Rate Transparency - small carriers are getting cheated with load rates.
  • Carrier Verifications
  • Rewards for Good Carriers
  • Rewards for Good Drivers
  • Accounting for Long Loading/Unloading Times
  • Layover Pay
  • Quick Pay Charges
  • Pickup and Delivery Confirmations
  • Freight Damage Claims
  • Cargo/Liability Insurance and Claims
  • Pre and Post Trip Inspections (a lot of these problems can be solved with IOTs)
  • Stop Fuel Theft
  • Roadside Emergency Repairs
  • Pay Additions: Waiting, Loading/Unloading, Tarping
  • More benefits explained on their website.
