- Cargo Booking : With BitNautic's Cargo Booking System, shippers from any country, will be able to see the ships that are available to carry their cargo, based on cargo location and cross-matched with the destination.

- Ship Brokerage System : BitNautic will offer a real-time ship brokerage system that allows carriers and ship owners to list ships, update their location, and thus to get shipping leads and find new customers.

- Escrow Services : When a Buyer initializes an escrow transaction, his BTNT tokens are locked in the smart contract. Once the Buyer confirms the Seller's obligations are fulfilled, he can release funds to the Seller.

- Wholesale E-commerce : BitNautic offers to his users the possibility to advertise and trade wholesale goods. Producers will have the opportunity to directly list and sell their products, in association with their specific place of loading, cutting out several middlemen, increasing their revenues and offering business opportunities to international traders.

- Tracking System : BitNautic will provide a state of the art ship and cargo tracking system for its customers. A customer will be able to see the status, the position of his ships and other specific details in real time. BitNautic uses the tracking system to transport goods quickly and efficiently by keeping track of every ship.

**How BitNautic Platform Work**
Users would access the platform using a mobile app. Carriers, such as ship owners, will be able to list their ships with locations and other relevant data on the platform and receive freight quotations from agents and shippers. Similarly, users who require shipping will be able to post their cargo, its current location and its intended destination. They could then search for available ships and make the arrangements they want. Both shippers and carriers would have the option of hiring agents on the platform to handle all of their activities there. It will also be possible for merchants to list their products on the platform, letting users order goods and then their delivery on the same platform.
BitNautic plans to make full use of its technological base, which includes not only the blockchain on which all information will be stored but also a specialised AI. The system can match ships to cargo based on the information provided and make the appropriate suggestions. Also, if carriers post their unused capacity, the system will look for opportunities to add smaller shipments there. The AI would also used to let both parties track ships and cargo in real time.

All transactions are carried out using smart contracts enabled by BTNT tokens, which will also used to pay assorted platform fees. Other cryptocurrencies can be used for the transactions themselves, however. Payments (whether for transport or for products) can be made by means of an escrow service that would automatically reward the seller once the buyer confirms that the delivery has been made. BitNautic can intervene in the event of a dispute and decide who should receive the funds.

**BITNAUTIC Token**
BTNT Token, an ERC20 token, will be issued to create a decentralized shipping and cargo platform built on top of Ethereum blockchain and wholesale e-commerce platform based on the Ethereum blockchain and smart contracts for trading goods and services. BTNT is designed to facilitate efficient transactions of a wide range of services on BitNautic platform, whilst also operating as a medium of exchange and a store of value that could become more valuable in line with the growth of users and increasing use of the platform.
Using dedicated token (BTNT) to facilitate transactions in the BitNautic (BTNT) Ecosystem provides many advantages, including :
- it can be used across any number of jurisdictions, retaining a single uniform method of settlement; 
- using a blockchain based token makes it possible to perform settlements automatically and irrefutably within smart contracts; 
- it makes it possible to manage incentives in a way that drives Ecosystem effects for the benefit of all participants in the BitNautic (BTNT) Ecosystem.
