ANRA presents the SmartSkies DELIVERY software program resolution

The growth of the drone industry can be difficult to measure: Hardware, sensors, accessories, security, and software development companies play a role in creating the drone industry ecosystem. The drone delivery sector is no different – recent research predicts drone delivery will grow by 53% CAGR in the near future, but that could underestimate the sheer size of the ecosystem. As regulations, public perception, and vendor involvement add to the expansion of delivery programs, software and tools for drone delivery are also being developed.

Now UTM and airspace management experts ANRA Technologies have announced SmartSkies ™ DELIVERY. (See video below.) The end-to-end mobile and web-based software solution offers drone delivery services for commercial, governmental and medical applications and connects providers, customers, manufacturers and drone service providers in a single solution. SmartSkies ™ DELIVERY “connects all the necessary stakeholders by providing the critical information and data exchange required for the safe, compliant and efficient delivery of freight and packages,” said a press release.

The delivery of drones poses unique challenges for supply chain and airspace authorities, and service providers must manage the delivery cycle and complexity of the drone flight. SmartSkies ™ DELIVERY solves both sides of the problem. “It provides a fulfillment network for the management of orders, inventory and the provision of products and then operates the drone securely in the ANRA SmartSkies ™ UTM network,” explains the press release.

SmartSkies ™ DELIVERY contains ANRA airspace management technologies to enable safe transit for the drone and provide tracking and status updates to the customer via a mobile app. In addition, all stakeholders in the supply chain are given appropriate access and login information to view, control and manage their respective tasks across the network and maintain real-time situational awareness for inventory tracking, package status and order progress.

“With the introduction of SmartSkies Delivery, we now offer a solution for every company to implement hardware- and software-independent drone delivery services,” said Amit Ganjoo, founder and CEO of ANRA Technologies. “Our delivery management system seamlessly connects new and existing supply chains, order fulfillment, airspace management and client-side technologies that are required to execute an order and receive a delivery.”
