HOW ZEDBLOX STARTED 

## Our Journey

The founders of ZedBlox share a common empathy to prevent wastage and ensure safety
of goods in transit in order to protect ordinary citizen consumers and increase 
income for businesses. This wastage was mainly happening due to climatic conditions
and pilferage that could translate into billions of dollars in savings of GDP and
higher incomes for producers.

The team started the analysis of current solutions available globally and concluded
that there were severe limitations with current solutions, especially in the last
mile transport. The goal was to provide an extremely simple, easy to use system,
yet technology driven, in order to ease adoption and provide maximum benefits. 

The team was confident that ROI would be easily covered by ZERO wastage of the solution.
The team did extensive research on the people aspects and usage conditions and put
in a lot of hard work into designing their first last mile cold chain product, ZedBlox
Smart Active Carrier.
