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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/informed-delivery1) 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.
