Startups To Make Life Easier for E-commerce
BANGALORE: Explaining your address to a delivery guy can get really irritating at times. Therefore for making it easier some startup companies have introduced unique ways with the help of which the location tracking has become a whole lot easier! These startups tend to replace our addresses with a set of simple words or numbers.
This means that the courier services which have tied up with these startups need to just check the address on Google maps to find the exact delivery location.
Aditya Vuchi, the developer of Zippr, an app that uses an eight-digit code to tag an address to an individual. With the help of Zippr any individual can link his or her location with the help of an eight-digit code (for example, ABCD1234) to map his or her location on Google Maps.The Google map with geo-tagged location can then be provided to logistics companies, ambulance services, food chains or e-commerce firms. They can identify the exact address with just a code on any Smartphone," Said Vuchi. Similarly there is one more startup company known as Zeocode which uses a 10 digit code as a location identifier.
Zeocode is trying trials on a Taxi Service and a restaurant so that when you hire a cab or order some food you can send them your 10 digit code that you get from zeocode, instead of explaining them your location as the ten digit code is your location identifier."We're bringing a host of enterprises (restaurants and taxi companies, etc) on board where people can use Zeocode to share their location," said Anand Sukumaran the founder and C.E.O of Zeocode.
While India is working on this idea, two U.S based startups have already raised funds. The first company is Addy, a service that identifies addresses based on the location. It uses URL based codes to identify addresses. Addy has raised about $320,000 from The Dorm room fund, which is a fund raiser for student-run companies. Then comes the What3Words, which is trying to replace every latitude and longitude with a three words code such as drinks.publisher.noodle, this may point to a particular address in India. What3Words has raised about $1 million by selling a thing known as OneWord, which is a personalized word of letters and numbers for a location of your choice. They have sold about 25000 OneWords so far.
