2. Arrive is ensuring the last inch of the last mile is smart and secure for automated delivery and pickup.
3. Long-term investors can get in on the ground floor now, with Arrive.

BUSINESS SUMMARY:

Problem

The last mile is the most expensive and challenging part of delivery and pickup logistics operations. Theft, damage, missed deliveries, and other inefficiencies are straining conventional logistics, and the exponential rise of e-commerce and on-demand deliveries has made problems worse.

Solution

Industry leaders, such as Walmart, Amazon, UPS, FedEx, USPS, are transforming their operations and customer experiences with innovative autonomous logistics and automated solutions. Arrive is empowering this transformation to autonomous logistics by solving the pain points of an automated last mile, with a MaaS platform that facilitates the smart, seamless, and secure exchanges of packages and goods between people, robots, and drones.

Business Model

Arrive’s smart and secure Mailbox-as-a-Service platform uniquely serves residences, businesses and campuses for people, robots, and drones to deliver packages, mail, medications, and food.

Business Model

We have three primary revenue sources:
1. MAILBOX-AS-A-SERVICE (MAAS) RECURRING REVENUE SUBSCRIPTIONS: This is a subscription service that provides businesses and consumers with mailboxes. The fee is low and covers all of the costs associated with owning and maintaining a mailbox, such as hardware, software, support, maintenance, un/installation, and financing. This is a convenient and affordable way for businesses and consumers to get the mailboxes they need without having to worry about the upfront costs or the hassle of maintenance.
2. DATA MONETIZATION VIA INSIGHTS GENERATED BY ML/AI: We generate unique transactional, performance, logistical, and locational data that we can use to generate insights and opportunities for our customers, partners, and our own operations. For example, we can use this data to help businesses optimize their delivery routes, improve their customer service, and make better marketing decisions. We can also use this data to develop new products and services.
3. OPERATIONAL PLATFORM FEES: Our Automated Delivery Marketplace (ADM) platform schedules arrival and departure times, optimizes mailbox space, and delivers real-time data and notifications. This allows our partners to make real-time value-based trade-offs, such as placing a premium on the ability to deliver food during a major sports event or at dinner time. Our Mailbox Financing Exchange (MFE) platform also enables financiers, business partners, and automation operators to share the cost of MaaS.

Products

1. Arrive Point

The Arrive Point is a smart and secure mailbox that enables the frictionless pickup and delivery of packages in autonomous delivery networks (ADNs) between people, robots, and drones.

2. Arrive Bank

The Arrive Bank is a collection of co-located Arrive Points working together within autonomous delivery networks (ADNs) to handle greater capacity.

3. Arrive Convey

The Arrive Convey automates package movement between Arrive Points and buildings using an enclosed conveyor system.

4. Arrive Package Tower

The Arrive Package Tower accommodates a higher volume of deliveries and pickups between Arrive Points and the “package tower” through an internal carousel mechanism.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Insights:

There are four types of machine learning (a form of AI):
1. Classification
2. Prediction
3. Interpretation
4. Generation

As our distribution and density of units installed grows, our platform will be able to supply the data necessary to employ various types of AI/ML for increased value, delivery and revenue throughout our ecosystem of partners, services, and customers.

Further areas where we may employ ML/AI as part of our Mailbox-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform:
1. Delivery
– Classify packages into different sizes to maximize space efficiency.
– Predict when packages are likely to be delivered to reserve inventory space or delivery times in advance.
– Benefit: Improved delivery efficiency and reduced package theft.

2. Pickup
– Classify packages into different categories of reverse logistics to determine the best networks, economics, and means of pickup.
– Predict when returns are likely to be picked up to optimize space management and prevent returns from being left too long.
– Benefit: Reduced costs and improved customer experience.

3. Users
– Classify users into different categories to personalize the experience for users and for the delivery and pickup networks and autonomous logistics they are served by.
– Provide more information about users’ packages and when they are likely to use the mailbox to optimize provider and user experiences and reduce wait and cycle times.
– Benefit: Improved user satisfaction and reduced costs.

4. Environment
– Classify environmental conditions to optimize delivery and pickup performance, schedules, and experience.
– Alert users to potential problems, such as packaging and packages that may be put at risk by changing temperature or overly long exposure to extreme temperatures.
– Benefit: Reduced environmental impact and improved customer experience.

5. Autonomous logistics
– Generate new or alternative routes for autonomous delivery vehicles based on a combination of environmental factors, user behavior, and mailbox space availability.
– Improve the efficiency of delivery operations, customer experience, and reduce the environmental impact of delivery vehicles.
– Benefit: Improved delivery efficiency and customer experience, reduced costs, and reduced environmental impact.

These are just a few examples of how AI and ML may be used in Arrive smart and secure mailboxes. As we increase our installed-units footprint and as ML algorithms become more sophisticated, we can expect to see even more innovative applications of ML in Arrive smart mailboxes in the future that will accelerate growth and revenue potential.

Market Projection

Key Market Findings:

1. There are an estimated 165 million addresses serviced by the United States Postal Service. Even at $100 per address, this opportunity represents tens of billions of dollars in opportunity.
2. 91% of the 100+ million items shipped daily are 5 pounds or less making them “drone deliverable”

Growth Strategies

Smart mailboxes for the automated and frictionless exchange of packages and goods between people, robots, and drones are a promising new emerging market and category of technology, validated by customer interest and new competition. To obtain sustainable advantageous growth we are employing proven strategies, platform thinking, and playbooks for bringing new technologies to market.

Planned Progression

While many have envisioned a future of pervasive automated delivery and pickup mailboxes available everywhere, the challenge is how to get there. No single organization or use case has provided sufficient return on investment (“ROI”) for deploying last mile automation and smart mailboxes that are distributed everywhere. It is evident that it will take a planned progression of multiple business models, operators, and locations that can together provide justifiable ROI for an ecosystem of interconnected automation, smart mailbox, and business stakeholders. Businesses, technology providers, operators, consumers, and communities will all need to develop interdependent and compelling business cases to meet customer needs in a phased approach. Each with automated drone and robot delivery and pickup with our mailbox platform to provide smart, secure, and seamless exchanges. This phased approach to ultimate ubiquity of automated services informs our phased approach for going-to-market as well.

We believe an initial focus on Medical Operation, first on medical campuses and later growing to their extended networks for doctors, clinics, pharmacies and more, will provide a successful and profitable growth path towards more ubiquitous availability of automated delivery and pickup. By focusing initially on the delivery and pickup of lab samples, medicine and supplies on medical campuses and then reaching out to their local networks of medical business partners, we can build the requisite foundation and ROI for then further spreading smart mailboxes into communities and other use cases for automated delivery like food, goods, and services. If we were instead to start with the automated delivery of delivery of food, goods, and services, as many automation companies and retailers have, the requisite ROI and margins for automated operations and the business models is too low to support the growth of a collective ecosystem of partners – which to-date has been unable to justify the massive investment necessary. There may be some exceptions by the largest players like Walmart, but for our company and others, starting with automation in medical ops and then progressing over time to more businesses and areas, and ultimately culminating in consumer residential markets, makes the most sense.

Begin with a Beachhead

The order of growth for our go-to-market and ROI starts with a beachhead in medical operations and large assisted living communities.

It’s a proven playbook/strategy now, first described in Geoffrey Moore’s, “Crossing the Chasm”, to approach the early market within niche markets that can be well-served before moving to the next adjacent market. We have begun our go-to-market by serving the needs of two associated and synergistic markets in medical operations and large assisted living communities. By solidifying our position in these markets first it allows us to obtain a profitable foundation and more learning to navigate a path forward to other markets and networks of value.

Medical Operations

We define medical operations as hospitals, medical campuses, and laboratories with associated networks of doctors and clinics. By starting with hospitals, medical campuses, and laboratories we can prove the value and ROI of better patient outcomes and operational efficiencies by employing our smart mailboxes across a portfolio of valuable use cases:

A. Weekend, off-hour, and holiday lab sample deliveries and pickups when staffing is much lower. This begins with immediate improvements in the time-sensitive receiving, notification, and routing of courier lab sample deliveries, which will be improved with automated drone delivery and robotic pickup.

B. For hospitals and labs that are already navigating the use of robots and drones, we can make exchanges of supplies, medicine and samples between buildings more smart, secure, and seamless – eliminating the friction of handoffs and optimizing the utilization/ROI of personnel, robots, and drones as a smart cross-dock and exchange point.

C. Lab samples may require rare or costly tests, and surgeries may require specific or rare medical kits that are difficult to maintain an inventory for at every location. Our smart mailboxes can serve as an external, dynamic, JIT supply closet to maximize the ROI on rare inventory while supporting better availability and outcomes.

D. Leading medical operations are at the cutting edge of formulating custom just in time (“JIT”) treatment protocols that can require couriering specialty custom medicines between multiple facilities. Our smart mailboxes can provide a foundational network for optimizing courier and utilization for more reliable inventory and drug movement/re-positioning.

E. Similarly, prescription, biologics, and sample delivery networks that extend beyond the medical campus to networks of doctors and clinics can benefit from improved cycle times, notifications, climate control, security, and chain-of-custody capabilities of our Smart Mailboxes.

Large Assisted Living Communities

Second, we are simultaneously pursuing large, assisted living communities (“LALC”), where there is already a history of consolidating mail, package, prescription, and food delivery for a large dependent community. For LALC we can help introduce and improve the smart, secure, and seamless automated exchange of packages, goods, supplies, food, and medicine between people, robots, and drones. By placing banks of our smart mailboxes beside existing walls/banks of US Postal Mailbox we can expedite courier deliveries and residence convenience as a foundation, followed by automated drone and robotic deliveries and ultimately robotic pickup and delivery to residence front doors. Logistics services, whether leveraging automation or not, prefer delivering to a few locations that have banks of smart mailboxes which are convenient for residents and will ultimately support automated transfers to their front doors if desired.

Platform Design

We are also employing platform thinking and strategies in our product and market relationships. What do we mean by a platform? At the highest level, a platform is a group of technologies, data, processes, standards, licensing, and business operations/rules that are developed as a collective system and foundation upon which an ecosystem of stakeholders, comprised of businesses, consumers, and investors, can interoperate a share in the profits and benefits of collectively serving a market better than they can do alone or by narrow vertical integrations. It provides a market-driven foundation for multiple, interdependent, stakeholders to collectively supply and consume value more efficiently – like an ecosystem – for a given market opportunity. An example is Apple’s iPhone, app store, chips, operating system, and developer resources together form a platform for multiple independent developers, consumers, suppliers, accessory makers, and others to serve Apple’s iPhone customer/community base. Similarly our Mailbox-as-a-Service creates a common foundation for many independent businesses, carriers, automation operators, technology providers to partner in deploy solutions, services, and business models for an evolving set of end-customer needs in last-mile logistics and automated business operations marketplace.

1. Our Automated Delivery Marketplace (ADM) software provides platform services to multiple partners and automation operators for scheduling arrival and departure times at our mailboxes (and other locker boxes), optimizing space/inventory utilization of each mailbox, and delivers important real-time location and transaction data and smart notifications, like weather, restrictions, mailbox status, package statuses, and observable automation obstructions upon which our customers rely. Allowing our partners to inter-operate in environments with other providers, and to make real-time value-based trade-offs like placing a premium on the ability to deliver food during a major sports event or at dinner time, versus the ability of a carrier to schedule and guarantee delivery at multiple mailboxes on a specific route at a specific time for operational efficiency and margin.

2. Our Mailbox Financing Exchange (MFE) platform partner financiers, businesses, and automation operators to dynamically share and sponsor the cost of Mailbox-as-a-Service between themselves and for end-customers. For example, if a consumer is a loyal Walmart customer, uses DoorDash regularly, and orders prescription deliveries from CVS, these three partners can easily recognize and split the monthly tab together for this important customer’s smart mailbox to further their loyalty, sales, and usage.

Mechanics of the Company’s Go-to-market

Since we are bringing a complex mix of hardware, software, and machine learning to market within our Smart Mailbox-as-a-Service Platform, for larger medical and assisted living operations and enterprises, our initial go-to-market is similar to a SaaS enterprise sale. We will be reliant on a direct consultative sales model in the early market in which marketing provides leads. We will lean heavily on meeting medical leaders where they congregate and on providing valuable research and content on how to use a smart mailbox-as-a-service platform for the smart, simple, and seamless exchange of supplies, medicine, lab samples, and more between people, robots, and drones within medical operations, campuses, and networks of doctors, clinics, pharmacies, and suppliers.

We will also be working closely with drone and robotic technology providers and operators to coordinate and bring turnkey “whole solutions” to our medical operations and assisted living target markets.

Our initial emerging market will consist of sales to the most innovative and strategic medical operations. We will be collecting data to analyze the success, ROI, and results from early sales customer cohorts to determine the right features, product roadmap, and growth path to expand beyond our early innovative bellwether customers, as we aim to grow into a more mainstream market of early adopters.

According to our findings, trends are showing families and businesses order more online today more than ever. We believe there cannot be large-scale autonomous delivery programs of any kind without Arrive smart receptacles in the ecosystem.

Competition

Our competitive advantage is Arrive’s intellectual property patents which provide the company with the first position in the secured drone and robotic delivery mailbox. We beat Amazon to the patent office by nine days and the United States Postal Services by two weeks. Our aggressive sales and marketing campaign in the target markets, supported by a national branding campaign over the patent life through 2036 will support Arrive’s first-in-market leading smart mailbox drone receptacle.

The competition (Amazon, UPS, FedEx, and other logistics players) may attempt to enter the market, but Arrive’s patents will help protect our delivery system advantage. In addition, companies such as Valqari and Airbox are still looking for business models that don’t infringe on our IP.

Traction & Customers

FIELD-TESTED: Our solutions have had numerous demonstrations and field tests conducted with first and second generation products across a range of delivery scenarios including manned, robotic, and drone deliveries.

In August of 2022, we launched our first pilot program in Lawrence, Indiana. This multi-week, multi-unit pilot included the world’s first delivery of First-Class mail by a traditional ground carrier to an Arrive smart mailbox, and was featured both locally and nationally. Pilot participants beyond USPS included DoorDash, McDonald’s, Culver’s, UberEats, and other local businesses. (Source 1; Source 2)

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS: The company has announced strategic partnerships with a number of leading companies in the technology and logistics industries across its smart MaaS ecosystem, including Hush Aerospace (source), HEI Integrated Systems (source), Joule Case (source) and A2Z Drone Delivery (source). 

GROWING DEMAND: Arrive has received significant interest from investors, partners, and customers. We are confident that Arrive can be the leading provider of secure, autonomous last mile delivery solutions in the years to come.

LOOKING AHEAD: We envision our smart mailbox solutions being at the center of your daily interactions with food, mail, and packages. We aim for our devices to be funnels to the last mile, in that piece of real estate where every delivery starts or ends. We feel that a successful capital campaign could allow us to accelerate research, ramp up development, increase operations, expand our marketing, and continue to grow our team.
