New Research Further Establishes the Special Status of VOLUM (VLM)
The VOLUM platform — and the Volum (VLM) utility token — has been gaining traction in discourse and media exposure over the past three months, and we wanted to explain, in very simple terms, why this shouldn’t come as a surprise.
The primary point here isn’t so much the specific argument. It’s the simplicity of making that argument given both 1) the advantages of the Platform due to its unique IP and 2) the way this status fits into the larger evolution of the blockchain as a technological juggernaut.
Why VOLUM has an IP Advantage
First off, the opportunity for a coherent solution that mobilizes the blockchain as an answer to the supply chain and logistics conundrum is a ripe fruit once it has been observed. Blockchain is a perfect direction for this problem, and it is a problem, once you understand the underlying dynamics.
The most simplistic directional attack from this front is taken by way of a recent research report published by Business Insider Intelligence entitled, “BLOCKCHAIN IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN”. The report notes that lack of transparency caused by siloed and disparate systems, high costs as a result of slow and/or manual processes, and difficulties related to the amount of time it takes to create and close a contract suggest that a coherent and properly placed blockchain solution could completely revolutionize the $54 trillion supply chain marketplace.
The VOLUM platform offers one of the only pure-play solutions to this gigantic and precise opportunity.
VOLUM not only has built-in algorithmic intelligence constructed to offer a plug-and-play guide to regulatory, administrative, and monitoring elements for small and mid-sized companies ready to escalate productive efficiency from a local production model to a global logistics strategy, but it also sits on a core combination open and consortium blockchain infrastructure linked to a ready-made internet-of-things (“IoT”) capability, allowing companies on the platform to drill down to unit-level logistics visibility and control.
Imagine knowing where every piece of your production process is at any point in time and space — whether within your in-house vertical chain or in the hands of your collaborating partners — and being able to see, in advance, if a coordination problem might arise, and then being armed with the ability to address it one step in front of the actual manifestation of the problem.
Traditionally, the advantages of a global supply chain are built of cost efficiencies. But those dissolve over the broad sample if you run into failed timing scenarios (coordination problems) or misunderstandings with your counterparties. It happens as a constant “cost of doing business” for any global supply chain solution, and it almost cancels out the advantages.
But with the VOLUM platform, the coordination and monitoring is “done for you” by a platform built from the ground up by folks with decades of experience in just such a minefield. In many ways, the VOLUM platform has been constructed to eliminate the downside potentiality of the global logistics model.
Is it the only such solution? No. But other similar solutions are internal to major global corporations. VOLUM, as it stands right now, may be the only solution that can effectively work as a plug-and-play logistics-in-a-box solution for new entrants into that type of ecosystem.
It works by pre-installing a cloud software toolbox optimized for leveling this playing field, and by offering up a platform for collaboration that mobilizes the smart-contract structure to eliminate legal costs without reducing contractual “faith” for all involved, and by further tying in an IoT capability that grants complete visibility and real-time tracking from the top down.
