Use Case
Freight Factoring with Maxx Capital Solutions
How MCS aims to revolutionize the freight factoring space with blockchain technology
The Evolution of MaxxChain
In recent years, the cryptocurrency market has been expanding, introducing users to a variety of new blockchains each trying to build a foundation in this space. In order to garner attention, it is crucial for any new blockchain to establish a need within the industry. Some blockchains gain traction by leveraging current trends, leading to notable but often inconsistent volume changes. However, few have achieved steady growth, largely due to a lack of a defining theme or practical use case to maintain user interest. Currently, Ethereum and Binance Smart Chains are the leading platforms in the crypto space. Despite certain concerns, they continue to be the go-to chains for users seeking reliability.
Strategic Shift: Leveraging Logistics Expertise
Initially, the goal for MaxxChain was to differentiate themselves by dedicating resources to benefit their users and developers in the short term while pushing focus towards its endeavors within the logistics space to a later term. Despite strong community support, MaxxChain faced challenges in growth, similar to other blockchains and projects within this space. Attracting new projects required more users, and attracting users required more projects. The team then revisited their original vision, deciding to leverage their logistics industry experience with an ultimate goal to establish a market that operates independently of chain activity, aiming to draw attention to MaxxChain from both cryptocurrency enthusiasts and those outside the crypto sphere.
Choosing the Freight Factoring Market
Their exploration into the logistics industry led the team to the freight factoring market—a sector crucial yet ripe for innovation. Nearly half of all U.S. self-employed truck drivers and the majority of for-hire trucking businesses rely on freight factoring services to provide immediate cash flow relief. Traditional methods in the freight factoring space, often burdened by high fees and rigid contracts, presented a perfect opportunity for the team to leverage blockchain technology and make a significant impact on its current processes - and thus, Maxx Capital Solutions (MCS) was born.
Blockchain's Role in Simplifying Freight Factoring:
By employing blockchain, MCS will ensure that truckers receive faster payments, avoid cumbersome contracts, and reduce administrative work, all while operating within a familiar system. This integration is especially crucial in a world often skeptical or uninformed about blockchain technology’s true potential.
The MCS Freight Factoring Process
MCS's freight factoring process will closely resemble the existing methods used by other freight factoring companies in the United States. The key distinctions are the enhanced transparency, speed, and efficiency provided by blockchain technologies.
- Freight Service Request: Shipping brokers initiate requests for freight services from trucking companies.
- Need for Immediate Cash Flow: After completing deliveries, trucking companies, facing immediate cash flow needs due to their clients' NET30 payment terms, turn to freight factoring for quicker payment solutions.
- Factoring Rate Assessment: Trucking companies utilize the MCS mobile app to ascertain factoring rates, offering clear insight into the receivable amount they will get, unlike regular providers that often include hidden additional rates.
- Invoice Submission and Smart Contract Formulation: Following rate confirmation, the trucking company uploads the invoice via the app, sending it to MCS. While the invoice is securely processed in the Web2 environment, essential details are transferred to Web3 and transformed into a smart contract on the Blockchain.
- Liquidity Provided by DeFi: Contracts are fulfilled with liquidity provided by DeFi stakeholders with available stablecoin TVL.
- Direct Payment to Trucking Companies: As soon as the contract is fully backed by DeFi stakeholders, the funds are directly transferred to the trucking company for immediate operational use.
- Completion of Invoice Processing: The invoice amount is subsequently paid to MCS by the shipping broker or customer.
- Distribution of Revenue: DeFi stakeholders are reimbursed their pledged amounts, including a 2% profit share, while MCS retains the remaining profits.
Stakeholder Benefits Illustrated
While the above explains the process, the following sections will identify the advantages that Blockchain and Web3 technologies can bring to various stakeholders involved in this initiative.
For Truckers:
- Effortless Transactions: MCS simplifies the transaction process, removing the need for complex contracts and agreements. This allows truckers to focus more on their primary business activities.
- Quick Funding Access: Blockchain technology enables immediate access to funds, significantly enhancing truckers' cash flow and bypassing traditional, slower financial processes.
- Transparent Operations: The transparency of blockchain guarantees secure and straightforward tracking of transactions, offering truckers clarity and control over their finances.
For DeFi Stakeholders:
- Stable, Low-Risk Returns: By providing liquidity to truckers invoices, DeFi stakeholders will have the ability to enter a more stable market with potential annual returns of up to 27% (compounded monthly). This produces a significant opportunity amidst a crypto market that usually faces high volatility.
- Reliable Revenue Stream: The platform consistently introduces new receivables from truckers, ensuring regular profit-sharing opportunities for DeFi stakeholders.
- User-Friendly Profit Sharing: MCS’s business model simplifies the profit-sharing process, making it accessible to DeFi stakeholders of all experience levels.
- Selective Receivables for Safety: MCS selects receivables carefully, focusing on clients with high credit ratings to minimize the risk of bad debts.
- Strategic Reserve Fund: MCS allocates 0.5% of all revenues to a reserve fund, acting as an internal insurance system for DeFi stakeholders, providing a near-zero risk environment.
