Scheduled delivery system (and mobile application)

Our product is can be used by anyone who purchases stuff online. If you don’t want your stuff dropped in front of the door because it can be stolen or live in a building with no doorman. A lot of buildings are trying to reduce costs since renters complain about high prices. Therefore, certain buildings for example in NYC no longer have doormen, replaced by electronic security systems. Sometimes you might have something unexpected and therefore not be there for your delivery.

Out of 5 billion retail shipments in the US in 2013, 100 million were failed deliveries. We are offering a solution to this problem. Intermediary between delivery company and receiver.

We are going to focus on big cities first.
