IoT Crowdshipping Tackles Same-Day Delivery | PYMNTS.com
Can strangers be trusted to bring retailers’ goods safe and sound to waiting customers? Marie Le Page, co-founder and U.K. CEO of LivingPackets, is betting they can. In the latest Intelligence of Things Tracker, Le Page tells PYMNTS how crowdshipping and smart packaging can offer retailers same-day delivery, reduced shipping costs and improved peace of mind — whether it’s local or cross-border.
Smaller sellers typically find themselves caught between two unappealing choices: straining their budgets to shell out for a private delivery company, or entrusting their delivery to national parcel services that cannot always offer the same speed. This is a problem Europe-based connected crowdshipping delivery startup LivingPackets is hoping to solve.
