WHAT
IS THE PROJECT ABOUT?
The e-commerce market in
Poland and the world is growing at a dizzying pace. Very quickly, it is
absorbing new technologies to make life easier for everyone using e-commerce
platforms.
However, these few
companies, which are the leaders in the global market, introduce the required
improvements too slowly, or not at all. At Aligato, we think that it can be
done better.
The foundation of the
Aligato 2.0 platform on top of the blockchain will ensure safety, stability and
transparency at a level unattainable by the solutions available so far. The Pay
via Eye payment system, operating through ordinary cameras in smartphones or
computers, will additionally strengthen the security of buyers.
Artificial intelligence
will facilitate shopping, searching for items and any interaction with the
platform. Autonomous delivery drones automate the final stage of product
delivery to the customer, and the entire system will be based on the existing
infrastructure. Its introduction will therefore not be long-term.
COMMERCIAL
DRONES PROVIDERS
In recent years, as a
result of the development of e-commerce, companies and postal companies began
to have problems with the processing of shipments. The long waiting time for
the delivery of products is the most frequently mentioned problem encountered
during online shopping in 2018. A real need has arisen to improve the existing
business model. One of the ideas for the existing situation was the
implementation of drone technology for the delivery of smaller-size shipments
at smaller distances.
Works on such systems
have been going on for several years, and as time has passed, they have become
more and more advanced. The first official tests of systems and services using
drones to deliver parcels were started in 2014 by DHL - medical supplies were
transported to a German island in the North Sea. Only two years later, in 2016
in New Zealand, drones were tested in order to deliver pizza through one of the
most well-known brands - Domino's.
COMMERCIAL
DRONES PROVIDERS
That time, the drones
took off the roof of the delivery van. The next and most important breakthrough
in the introduction of commercial use of drones, in order to deliver various
types of parcels, took place a month later thanks to the Amazon corporation,
which in England delivered a bag of popcorn to one of the customers. In
addition to the mere usability and reliability of the system, parallel work was
carried out on increasing the dimensions of the transported objects - in
January 2018, Boeing presented a prototype of a cargo drone with a lifting
capacity of 227 kg.
As in the case of
improvements and technological innovations in other areas, in order to be able
to apply them, you need to ensure the safety of users and third parties, as
well as compliance with existing regulations. Currently, on the way to the full
implementation of such an advanced model, there are above all new
technological, legal and logistic challenges. So far no collision detection
systems have been created that you can trust fully. The problem of the lack of
universal regulation of air rights existing in different countries has not been
solved either. Success is on the horizon, but requires the cooperation of technology
developers and comprehensive legislative changes.
Having so many years of
experience in the e-commerce industry, broad expertise of modern technologies,
automation and finance, we have noticed the need and the possibility of
introducing solutions that will revolutionize the existing e-commerce dimension
and have not yet been introduced by leading e-commerce brand companies.
One of the most
innovative technological aspects of the project is the implementation of the
Pay via Eye payment system for its needs, i.e., approval of transactions by
means of iris scan.
When you look closely
into the human iris, you can see a unique arrangement of lines and folds. Even
for the same person, this system will be different for each eye. The most
important feature of the iris with regard to the methods of verification or
payment is its immutability over time. Thanks to this, iris can act as
biometric security.
Our team plans to
implement PvE technology using the right algorithms from existing devices,
creating its own scanner to run PvE as one of the available payment methods on
the Aligato platform. What's more, in order to increase the security of
transactions, payment with PvE will require additional authorization (2FA) - it
can be an SMS with a code, Google Authenticator or pre-determined PIN.
