It can be an easier way to follow your parcels, handle return logistics - or ways to prevent returns in the first place. How does the cloud play into this challenge? What if we could do to Posti what Uber did to Taxis and make everyone the postman? What if your neighbor or a complete stranger could delivery your package? We could use Machine Learning to understand who is the most appropriate courier for you, based on location, distance, type of package, type of delivery method, reliability and other characteristics. Or maybe you need a cloud to store the data in and backend for your mobile app to track the delivery?
