So you ordered that new that new Ipad from Amazon because it has free shipping, cool! But have you ever thought what brings it to your door? Behind the scenes operates an intricate system of logistics, ships, planes, and trucks work tirelessly to bring your gifts in time for the specified delivery terms.

Even though the logistics market is a global phenomenon that spins our current capitalist world, the top logistics companies are hardly profitable.Blockchain technology, however, could change that by employing smarter deployment procedures.

### Smart Containers: Logistics of the 21st century!
Smart Containers is a logistics company that combines advanced container technology with IoT sensors to usher in the new age of goods transportation, and the good news is that it’s all done on the blockchain. REP AG, the Swiss company that’s behind Smart Containers (https://smartcontainers.ch/), is a Swiss-based operation that currently provides the safest transportation containers for sensitive pharma goods and food wares all over the world.

With a unique blend of cutting-edge technology, scalable software solutions, and exceptional services, Smart Containers is a desirable investment proposition with potentially exponential growth in the coming years.

### The long-term vision for blockchain logistics
To make the Smart Containers the new global standard regarding logistics, the team has decided to turn to the crypto community with the help of an ICO event. They aim to raise 36 million USD with the help of the SMARC token that will also give 20% of the future profits in return.

The SMARC token is an ERC20 standard based on the Ethereum blockchain to make use of the Smart Contracts feature that will be embedded within all containers to save a significant portion of today’s running costs. To stay true to the innovative nature of blockchain, Smart Containers have chosen to fund their idea through ICO because:
-  Smart Containers Group has already raised the “first leg” of the investments in the form of 25 million USD through private investors and other traditional financing rounds
-  The end goal is to involve an extensive network of involved users and supporters which do not have just a financial angle in the business but rather to foster a sustainable growth over time
-  The ICO nature of the event will allow Smart Containers group to control all invested entities and not be forced to exit after a predetermined number of years. The Smart Containers project is not your average “money flipping” project as it has the potential to change the face of logistics for good

With the raised money through the ICO event, Smart Containers will allocate the funds towards the development of the existing products on the distributed ledger system. 15 million will go into scaling the Sky Cell product, 13 million will be allocated towards the Food Guardians container project, and the rest will be used to develop marketing and infrastructure ecosystems required for the business to be successful.
