Problem
Traditional ground-based logistics for middle‑mile and last‑mile delivery rely on trucks and manual handling, leading to high fuel costs, emissions, and slow delivery times, especially in congested urban areas or remote locations.
Solution
LODD offers a Logistics‑as‑a‑Service platform that operates a fleet of autonomous cargo UAVs to transport pallets and parcels between cities, across towns, and directly to end‑users. An AI‑enabled software suite coordinates flight planning, payload management, and real‑time tracking, allowing customers to request drone deliveries through a digital interface. The company also designs and manufactures custom UAVs with varying range and payload capacities, providing an end‑to‑end solution that reduces transportation costs, lowers carbon footprint, and accelerates delivery of goods such as e‑commerce orders, medical supplies, and industrial parts.
Target Audience
Primary customers are e‑commerce retailers, freight forwarders, healthcare providers, and industrial firms that require efficient middle‑mile or last‑mile transport of goods, especially in regions where traditional logistics are costly or slow.
Features

- AI‑driven flight operations platform that optimizes routes, manages airspace compliance, and provides live delivery tracking
- Integrated payload handling system for automated loading, secure transport, and precise drop‑off at designated locations
- Custom UAV design and manufacturing capability to tailor range, endurance, and cargo capacity to specific customer needs
- End‑to‑end Logistics‑as‑a‑Service model that includes fleet operation, maintenance, and software support, removing the need for customers to manage drone infrastructure
