Platform Smartseed has already started – may 15 is the registration of carriers and cargo owners of goods, and the first orders are scheduled to perform in August 2017.

The new IT platform uses the popular UBER for X model for automating the selection of vehicles. The system includes a web version and application for customers and terminals
transport owners and drivers. The business model of the project does not include paper documents. The company provides process participants with the electronic signature and everything necessary for organization of electronic documents. Responsible for the delivery of the goods Smartseed carries full. Customers can also choose to monitor all the stages of transportation of goods, and also store a detailed history of the order.

"The market of transportation of agricultural products most suited for the implementation of the selected model. Even a cursory analysis, it becomes clear that it is largely similar to the taxi market before the advent of UBER and companies that use his model – Yandex.taxi, Gettaxi and others. On the one hand we have monotipiya goods – grains and oilseeds, with the other standard machines that spetsializiruyutsya on the transport of the goods and own them, as a rule, the traders or very small companies. The current relationship between carriers and cargo owners is a lot like ordering a taxi by phone", — said Kirill Podolsky.

According to the business plan, by the end of 2017 to the Smartseeds system must be connected 5 thousand trucks that will carry up to 20 thousand orders per month. However, automation of logistics of grain and oilseeds the company does not intend to stop – it is planned to master and other freight transport markets, where they can apply the selected model.

The company noted that the launch of the project takes place at a very opportune moment. As you know, exporters signed a Charter for the refusal to work with unscrupulous brokers. The document will mark a new era of freight transportation – the movement of market becomes transparent, so the services of a new it platform will be most welcome.

The investor of the project – Artem Kuznetsov, he will will form the GR strategy of the company. "I know Kirill Podolsky and understand that he has a rare set of examinations. On the one hand, he for many years was engaged in the export and production of agricultural products, on the other hand, he has significant experience in implementation of complex IT services. This was a key factor for me and a group of investors for making decision about participation in the Smartseeds" — says Artem Kuznetsov.

Kirill Podolsky is the CEO and is responsible for all operational issues and strategy development. "I have a great desire to return to the business, to which I dedicated many years. I think that I was useful for several years to observe the processes in the industry. Now the market is in need of extensive modernisation and Smartseeds should become a locomotive of these changes", — said Kirill Podolsky.
