Planport
The procurement and sourcing process has many stages which require
concerned parties to use a collaborative approach throughout its
lifecycle. PlanPort simplifies this process by unifying the entire
procurement process end-to-end with the power of the blockchain
technology. Moreover, Planport intends to create a seamless interaction
right from on-boarding, monitoring, issuing and expenditure management,
payment processes and performance analysis, among others.
The current supply chain industry is a $64 trillion market that employs
millions around the world. Planport is building a decentralized
business-to-business platform for the supply chain industry and our
initial product focuses on procurement and its components.
Procurement is one of the core sectors of the supply chain industry. It
involves buying of goods and services that enable organizations to carry
out their day-to-day operations. Someone involved in procurement may be
responsible for sourcing raw materials from suppliers globally and
bringing them into an organization by working with C-level executives,
finance and engineering as well as external suppliers.
While procurement is a vital aspect of operations, the process has
critical problems that are costly for all businesses from small
companies to big corporations. The obstacles include legacy systems with
inefficient and closed networks that are expensive, risky and
time-consuming, cash flow problems that take weeks or months,
contractual nightmares, poor supplier management and closed and
centralized access to goods and services. A company spends 30 to 70% of
its revenue on outsourced goods and services, yet many still
underinvest.
The Planport Platform powered by the PORT token aims to solve these
problems by unifying the entire procurement process end-to-end and
empowering enterprises and suppliers using a decentralized
business-to-business network in the supply chain industry. Buyers and
sellers can use the platform for procurement, auctions, payments, and
contract management. At the end of the supplier and buyer interaction,
our invoice marketplace enables suppliers to push invoices to a network
of global investors where they can access a diverse range of funders.
This marketplace is built on the Blockchain distributed technology
allowing participants to have a secure and efficient way to settle trade
finance assets in the $3 trillion factoring industry.
Planport, as part of Planport Platform, has built and is building the
following products:
Planport RFX - a procurement product for buyers and sellers.
Planport Supplier Manager - a product for enterprises to communicate
with and assess suppliers.
Planport Auctions - a product for performing reverse auctions with
multiple suppliers.
Planport Payment Systems - a payment system empowered by the PORT token
for business-to-business payments.
Planport Contracts - a full contract management product for creation,
storage, and discovery of contracts.
Planport Experts Networks - an on-demand network of supply chain experts
for enterprises.
Plnaport Invoice Marketplace - a trade finance network for suppliers.
Planport will revolutionise the supply chain industry by building a
platform that streamlines the processes and is built on trust, mutual
benefit and user-centric as part of the Web 3.0 by using the Blockchain
technology.

The
supply chain process has many stages which require concerned parties to
use a collaborative approach throughout its lifecycle.
Planport simplifies this process by unifying the entire procurement

Planport On-Demand Experts Network
Planport promises an innovative model
designed to help the procurement process by connecting it with
specialized labor pool for enterprises and individuals. The network is
designed to help avoid the costly and time-consuming, firm-based
consultancy. Procurement heads will easily connect with experts in the
different categories, needs, and transact without any hassle common with
procurement advising firms.This means there are no large upfront
investments or long terms contracts, and users can scale it up or down,
or even turn it off as simply as you can turn it on.
Planport Auctions
Planport reverse auction capability means
users can have the following critical benefits designed to promote costs
saving practices. The overall effect is improved and dynamic
procurement process: reduction of purchasing costs, enhanced procurement
processes, increased efficiency in the market, and access to a global
supplier base.
Planport Payments
Transactions within the Planport network
will use our ERC20 token, which solves the problem of B2B remittance.
This is achieved by the introduction of low-cost, real-time access,
safeguards and eliminated reconciliation. These will improve delivery to
the market and profitability. With these in place, the working capital
is safeguarded as well as performance for all companies involved in the
process.
Planport Supplier Manager
Planport's supplier management portal is
designed to make the lives of suppliers easy, so they can cut the
response time from days to minutes, as well as responding to RFPs. We
also have a reputation and performance review system which can help the
network to identify the best performers easily, eliminate risk and
ultimately bring a more significant business outcome
Planport Contracts
Planport uses cryptographically secure
smart-contracts which can be issued for different projects, events, and
timeframes within the network. In effect, this means enterprises can
eliminate legal risks, high-remittance fees, slow project automation and
more.
