Arrive Technology Inc., an Indianapolis, Indiana-based provider of autonomous delivery, has teamed with AllMart Marketplace, an online retailer, to deploy up to 25 Arrive "smart" mailboxes to facilitate secure deliveries on the island nation of Antigua.

AllMart, which currently makes approximately 120,000 deliveries per year to consumers in Antigua, will offer the option for secure delivery in addition to the current drop off choices.

AllMart customers will receive unique personal identification numbers so only they can access the mailbox to retrieve their orders.

Arrive's mailbox-as-a-service platform makes the exchange of goods between people, robots and drones frictionless through the use of artificial intelligence. The system leverages climate-assisted cargo space, smart alerts and advanced chain of custody controls to secure the last inch of the last mile for delivery services.

"Moderate regulations and more open skies make Antigua an ideal testing ground and will quickly demonstrate to the world how our mailbox-as-a-service platform and autonomous delivery will transform the last mile of package delivery," Arrive CEO Dan O'Toole said in the press release.
