Skya is revolutionizing urban logistics. We are positioned to transform how goods move through cities with an innovative system combining autonomous vehicles and smart lockers, creating a bi-directional delivery infrastructure.

The urban logistics landscape faces critical challenges - last mile delivery accounts for 53% of total logistics costs (8.7% of US GDP), 27% of urban residents experience delivery issues, and current delivery systems generate 4.2M tons of carbon emissions annually. These inefficiencies demand a systematic solution rather than incremental improvements.

Skya's mission is to eliminate the inefficiencies of last-mile delivery by creating a mobile smart locker network that seamlessly connects logistics hubs with urban residents. We envision a world where package delivery is as reliable and simple as basic utilities, making urban life more sustainable and convenient.

Our solution features autonomous vehicles that transport smart lockers between residential complexes and logistics centers. This integrated system enables secure package delivery and efficient returns in a single workflow. By reducing handovers by 60% and providing end-to-end security through smart authentication, we significantly optimize the traditional delivery process.
