Amazon, Inc. is currently the reigning monarch of American online shopping. The company is the e-commerce giant in the domestic and international markets. It has expanded its global footprints to many countries, hence does great business as an online retailer now. Apart from this, the company has also bolstered its cloud computing business, Amazon Web Services, which is a massive $5 billion business now. Recently, the company has been pushing in for internet of things (IoT) and connectivity within devices.
Amazon recently started Drone Delivery services in order to speed up the delivery process of product orders to customers. The company started with a 1-hour program and a 2-hour program for this purpose. When it comes to delivering the product, the online retailer is trying everything to either speed up the delivery process to reduce the waiting time for customers or make the process convenient for them. Therefore, ‘AMZN' announced to deliver product directly to your ‘trunk' a couple of weeks ago. It has full rights from FAA to make it operational.
It is known that the ecommerce giant seeks to make the delivery process convenient through innovative and unconventional methods. The trunk delivery system was planned, however only in Germany for the time being, so that customers can receive their packages even if they are not at home. Now, the organization is planning a system to deliver packages wherever customers are present.
Reports suggest that the company is planning to ‘create a fleet' on drones that will be delivering products not only to customers' homes and workplaces but wherever they happen to be standing at that very instance. According to CNN, the company will name this service as "Bring It To Me". This delivery option will become a trademark Amazon patent application that will deliver products to you with a single click.
The ecommerce giant explains how this patent application works by stating an example where a user placed an order that is expected to be delivered to him within the next 30 minutes. The order is placed at his home but the next moment he plans to go to his friend's place. The company says, "As the ordered item is retrieved from inventory, the current location of the user's mobile device may be determined and the delivery location correspondingly updated. As such, the ordered item will be delivered to the user while the user is at their friend's house, or any other location."
The online business has it all planned to make user experience better and provide customers with the best possible option to receive their packages.
