Cargo transportation is associated with a limited number of real cargo owners.

Carriers and forwarders resell services to each other and hence become participants of all transport exchanges. In terms of percentage, they account for 68% of all transport exchanges that take place between logistic companies.
During the research, we were asking a question “Why cargo owners do not trust transport exchanges?”. The poll showed that at transport exchanges carriers do not secure the best prices. A competitive price is offered on request since it should be based on many factors. The main factor is the risk of working without knowing your direct customer.
At the next stage we conducted a poll called “Would you like to work through a transport exchange if its mechanism guarantees safety and fulfillment of obligations for both parties?” (we intended blockchain technologies involving smart-contracts). The poll showed that 43% of the respondents were ready to change their attitude towards transport exchanges.
