How was the Smart Parcel Box born?
In the autumn of 2014, Vikram Avasthi, the founder of Homescapes, conceptualised this product as shown in the early sketches. Homescapes shipped thousands of parcels weekly and many customers complained of missing parcels or failed deliveries.
He had personally experienced similar problems, and concluded that there was a need for a final mile delivery solution. Since there was nothing available, it was time to get creative and the idea of Smart Parcel Box was born!
The main considerations in designing the Smart Parcel box were:
- Safety. The box should be strong, tamper-resistant and securely mountable on either the floor or the wall.
- Ease of use. Couriers should be able to find the box easily and be able to use it intuitively.
- Proof of delivery. The box should have a form of unique identification. A unique barcode and a mechanism to register the box were therefore provided.
- Receive multiple parcels. The box should safely receive several deliveries. An anti-fishing mechanism was developed, and the size of the parcel box was carefully designed.
- Weather friendly. A high quality to survive our British weather. Should feature galvanised weather-proof coating and be water resistant.
After an extensive development process, this concept was brought to life by our dedicated team, and the Smart Parcel Box was ready to serve.
