Problem
Parcel theft, tampering, and delivery fraud during the last‑mile of e‑commerce create financial losses and erode customer trust, as existing delivery methods lack a reliable way to verify who opened a package and whether its contents were altered.
Solution
PACLOC is a compact, on‑parcel security device that attaches to each package before shipment and remains active through the entire delivery journey. The device combines a physical lock, a thin metallic tamper‑wire sensor, and an AI‑enabled camera to detect any unauthorized access attempts in real time. When a tamper event occurs, an instant alert is sent to the sender, preserving chain‑of‑custody evidence. Upon delivery, the recipient must enter a unique Order Security Number (OSN) and then verify a one‑time password (OTP) sent to their phone; only when both factors match does the lock release. This multi‑factor authentication and end‑to‑end physical encryption ensure that parcels cannot be opened, altered, or replaced without explicit, verified consent.
Target Audience
Primary customers are e‑commerce merchants and logistics providers seeking to protect high‑value shipments from last‑mile theft and tampering, as well as end consumers who demand verified delivery of their orders.
