Arculus wasn't born overnight. It began, like many great ideas, with a simple question: "Why doesn't someone build a secure box for deliveries?" Sparked by a friend's frustration with rampant package theft, the question quickly revealed the complexity of the problem.
While the initial idea of a locked box seemed straightforward, deeper consideration exposed the challenges: How would couriers know where to deliver? How would they open the box securely? How could we ensure authenticity and prevent fraud? The answer, we realized, lay not in hardware alone, but in software.
Building seamless integrations with retailers, couriers, and consumers became the cornerstone of our approach, creating a holistic, mutually beneficial solution. We recognized the need for an entire ecosystem to revolutionize home delivery.
