Mobile-Seeking Deliveries

Phone Address Makes a Handset a Home Base for Receiving Ordered Goods

— June 5, 2015 — Tech
Providing a home address with your online grocery and takeout orders is a consistent and reliable way to ensure that you’ll receive your purchases––but stop and consider Phone Address. Created in collaboration with BASE (a mobile provider) and Royal Delivery (a Belgian food delivery company), this smartphone app tags your precise current location as the destination for receiving.

The implications for this software are quite far-reaching, enabling suppliers of consumer goods to connect with on-the-move customers, bringing the utmost convenience to remote purchases. This can extend from simply ordering pizza at a picnic in your neighborhood park, to having your mail delivered to you while you're backpacking on another continent. PhoneAddress uses existing mobile technology in a truly clever way, facilitating truly mobile lifestyles.
Trend Themes
1. Phone Address - The Phone Address app enables consumers to use their smartphone as a home base for receiving ordered goods, opening up opportunities for on-the-go deliveries.
2. Remote Purchases - The ability to receive goods at any location, whether it's a neighborhood park or while backpacking, provides convenience and flexibility for consumers, creating opportunities for companies to offer delivery services to remote destinations.
3. Mobile Technology - The use of existing mobile technology, such as GPS tracking, allows for innovative solutions like Phone Address to enhance the mobile lifestyles of consumers and create disruptive innovation in the delivery industry.
Industry Implications
1. Food Delivery - Food delivery companies can leverage Phone Address to expand their services to more locations and cater to on-the-move customers, revolutionizing the food delivery industry.
2. E-commerce - E-commerce retailers can adopt Phone Address to enable deliveries to unconventional locations, providing a competitive advantage and attracting customers looking for convenient shopping experiences.
3. Logistics - Logistics companies can incorporate Phone Address into their operations to offer flexible and efficient delivery solutions, tapping into the growing demand for on-the-go deliveries and disrupting the traditional logistics industry.
