The Material Medium
The Material Medium
Matium is quite simply, The Material Medium.
We connect companies that have materials with companies that need materials and help them to add efficiencies to every single step in between.
We created Matium so you could stop working IN the business and work ON the business. We figured that if we could push buttons to order our everyday goods, why can't we push buttons to do our job?
I think Bailey explains it quite well below:
"3 years ago, I hit a ceiling in my career. I was doing over 250 plastics transactions a month and although it made money, I found myself always behind. I worked in everything, and I worked on nothing. I searched in my brain for an idea that could allow me to provide more value to others without burning myself to the ground. I was the bottleneck.
The answer? Remove myself. Create software that could complete all the tasks that I did for customers, so that I could serve customers with value that software never could. I thought of creating it for myself and making myself the most efficient supply chain businessman in the world. As you can see, my self was too involved in that plan. Greed always leads to misery.
Instead, I would provide this ability to everyone. By giving it to everyone, we wouldn't replace anyone. Everyone would simply work in a more valuable manner, spending less time on tasks and less time alone."
Matium isn't here to make it so you never pick up the phone and call your customers ever again, it is here so your customer's request from two weeks ago doesn't get lost in your mailbox.
Really, we are here so you spend less time doing paperwork as well as other other wasteful tasks and replace that time with adding more value to your customers!
