The Easy Answer
The world needs a system like Offtake to transition capitalism into the next phase of optimization instead of overproduction. To help is distribute access to markets to everyone involved in supply. Global supply is still rooted and in many ways still exists as an exploitative leftover of Imperialism. Pay the producers as little as possible and the middle men sell it for large profits to the distributors. Our view is that we must take care of suppliers and buyers as those are the people that we serve.
The Straightforward Answer
We finally have the technology to be able to achieve a better way of doing business with each other. Minimizing risk for everyone involved, decreasing waste, increasing transparency without giving away sources or secret information. We support anyone that adds value to the supply chain. The people in the middle have served a great purpose which is to complete the links in the supply chain. Offtake is built to help buyers and sellers work directly with each other automate and optimize the supply chain by only keeping the parts in the middle that are essential, thus helping to lower price inflation.
The Elephant in the Room
Supply is Essential!
Recent time has proven that the supply chain is essential to quality of living. Food, water, power, medicine, and manufacture products have built our society to the place which it is today. Evolution of commerce has been heavily reliant on business as usual happening throughout the world.
Improvement is Necessary.
Offtake provides tools to improve your supply chain infrastructure by solving some of the oldest problems that are still impact trade to this very day. As noted over 20 years ago in the Harvard Business Review, there is “A Smarter Way to Sell Commodities”. As stated in the article, there are two core points to improving the sale of commodities. Segmenting risk and minimize uncertainty as a path to increased stability.
Why Has Nothing Been Done?
Our current global economy is still sleeping with a foot in imperialism Those with money and power traditionally only care about their own money and power.
The state of our current supply system.
Benefits of centralization – Blind Trust, Knowledge, Reliability, Easy
The old world of supply has taken the natural course of consumption capitalism which has supported the rich getting richer and the centralization of profits and power at any cost. Just like with mono-cropping, there are always benefits and disadvantages to having a centralized focus of the ecosystem. It can be excellent for growth, large quantities of production and low prices, but without diversity this method leaves the ecosystem overpowered but weak in the same way as Achiellie’s heel.
The Most Important Solutions
Inflation and recessions further centralize wealth and power. Often those at the bottom are the businesses that fail during these difficult times.
Curbing Inflation
The more available places to buy the better. We need small and medium producers more than ever during these times to help curb price inflation on the end consumers. Centralization of supply creates huge price increases as we have seen with recently with Beef, Lumber and many others. Offtake is built to help orchestrate direct relationships with supplies of all sizes to help fulfill orders of any size.
A Bridge for Recessions
To help work our way out of a recession the best thing to do is to keep the wheels turning. For businesses to keep producing they need to be able to keep buying. Stability of inputs is the only way that producers can continue. We help our buyers ensure that they will have options if their normal sources fail or to establish the best supply possible to improve their needs.
Why is the Decentralization of Supply so essential?
Achieving supply from numerous sources is the easiest at the most basic level as it is pretty easy to insert wheat from any source into the same recipe. As products increase in customization and intricacy
A new world of supply.
Resilience is a word that we hear in both economics, medicine, and in agriculture, because it concentrates on health through adaptability and by the support of surrounding factors that keep the whole strong when something goes sour. If a buyer only has one or two sources for their products and they suddenly loose access, what are they to do? The answer is hustle and find a solutionpro.
