The Smart Delivery Box to Protect Against Theft, Weather And Sanitizing Parcels
Challenge
Sun E Mates was born in January 2019. The following January they realized the risk a new emerging virus (COVID-19) would pose to receiving deliveries safely. To protect families, Sun E Mates integrated UV-C Technology into their Parcel Delivery Receptacle, ensuring their product would serve to help with contactless delivery and much more. PROBLEM Sun E Mates is a tech startup founded in 2019 by two friends passionate in technology and innovation. With experience working in parcel shipment deliveries in southern California, one of the co-founders noticed a disturbing trend in the theft of packages delivered to consumers. Realizing the potential opportunity in addressing the lack of security in parcel deliveries, he was determined to come up with a solution to this growing problem. Thus, the Sun E Mates security box concept was born. During the planning of the original concept, another more immediate problem needed to be addressed. The COVID-19 global pandemic and potential risk of infection became a serious concern and obstacle that society is currently faced with. This global pandemic barrier became a major opportunity for Sun E Mates to shift gears and tackle two problems at the same time.
