An Integrated business intelligence system informs about the best routes for the shipment that will improve overall efficiency and reduce costs. A schedule helps to identify weekly and daily goals for the shipment, and if something goes wrong, the system will show the stage where issues appeared.

OpenBrix is especially convenient for agents because it has no limits on placing real-estate lots. While other platforms may charge additional fees for placing more property than the platform dictates, OpenBrix has much more agent-friendly politics.

Nexus Mutual

Industry: insurance

Nexus Mutual is a decentralized insurance startup that uses blockchain to create mutual insurance for all users. This platform uses the Etherium public chain and allows anyone to buy an insurance cover. Community funding means that the platform is owned by the members.

However, the founders plan to develop more insurance plans later. For now, they’re working on insurance cover against earthquake risks. 

Insurance blockchain is an excellent idea because of the distributed coverage financing. Nexus Mutual is going to grow, so it’s worth giving it a try.

Wrapping Up

Blockchain is a versatile technology that can be applied in almost any industry. The protection it grants allows companies to store sensitive data safely. Distributed systems work great for making software more community-based, like Nexus Mutual and OpenBrix. Over time, distributed technologies will make users of every platform, not only consumers, but also an integral part of the whole system.
