By starting delivery by drone, delivery time can be shortened to the fastest in a few minutes, delivery of parcel in Australia on that day costs 29.95 dollars (about 3000 yen), whereas for drone delivery it costs 2.99 dollars (about 300 yen ) And the delivery cost can be reduced to 1/10.


Also, because you can specify the delivery location from the Android smartphone application, you can deliver to any location outdoors by GPS. We are also planning to release smartphone applications other than Android after starting the test operation starting in November.
