Customer Challenge
Package theft, often referred to as “porch piracy,” has surged to epidemic levels, causing frustration for consumers and increasing operational costs for delivery services like Amazon, UPS, FedEx, and USPS. The financial burden of replacing lost packages impacts shippers and sellers, resulting in increased expenses and diminished customer trust.
ZFLO envisioned a cutting-edge anti-theft device that deters theft and ensures accountability for parcel delivery. The challenge was to create a system robust enough to protect packages in real-time and scalable to address the growing concerns of businesses and homeowners alike.
Solution Overview
Oxit collaborated with ZFLO to design and develop ZakTrak, a groundbreaking IoT-based parcel tracking and theft prevention solution. Leveraging advanced technologies, ZakTrak offers unparalleled monitoring and control through the following features:
- Geofence Security: Tracks parcel movement within a virtual perimeter, triggering alarms if breached.
- Integrated Sensors: Incorporates ZakTilt, a tiltmeter with g-force sensors, to monitor handling and detect potential damage.
- Comprehensive Tracking: Equipped with accelerometers, GPS, and cellular connectivity to pinpoint the parcel’s location in real time.
- Cloud-Based Notifications: Powered by AWS, the system alerts users immediately of any unexpected movements or geofence breaches.
- Audible Theft Deterrent: An integrated alarm activates upon unauthorized movement, discouraging theft and aiding recovery.
The Result
ZakTrak revolutionizes parcel tracking by combining real-time data visualization with proactive theft deterrence. Key benefits include:
- Enhanced Visibility: A user-friendly portal provides real-time updates, including parcel status, location, battery life, and arming status.
- Increased Recovery Rates: Audible alarms deter theft attempts, while precise GPS tracking enables swift parcel retrieval.
- Operational Efficiency: By reducing theft and damage, ZakTrak lowers costs associated with reshipping and loss, protecting the bottom line for businesses.
- Customer Satisfaction: End-users benefit from greater confidence and peace of mind, knowing their parcels are protected.
With ZakTrak, ZFLO empowers businesses and consumers to take control of parcel delivery, setting a new standard for security and reliability in the logistics industry.
“After exploring different technology options, we concluded the OxTech Sidewalk Module was the best solution for our debut product, ZakTrak. Oxit’s understanding of Amazon Sidewalk technology has enabled us to advance additional products coming later this year.” – Larry Fox CEO, ZFLO Technologies
