Pelipod relocates to Bristol and joins SETsquared

Pelipod, the smart parcel delivery box company, is relocating to Bristol and becoming a member of the SETsquared business incubation programme. Founded in 2013, Pelipod has created a connected, secure, unattended parcel box that uses machine-to-machine (M2M) communications to transmit secure codes for parcel and user access, thereby allowing both deliveries and returns from designated premises. The system is self-contained and requires no integration for power or communications.

Karl Wills, the founder and CEO of Pelipod, commented: “We have brought our product to market and the scale of both the B2B and B2C opportunity is immense. To fully capitalise on the UK and international opportunities before us we were keen to be part of an organisation with a proven ability to help technology organisations grow exponentially.”

The Pelipod product began field trials late last year. The company started selling the product to consumer commercially in March 2015 and now has a number of live customers across the UK. In addition, the company reports that its product has attracted “significant interest” from UK and international carriers for both B2C and B2B opportunities.

SETsquared is a collaboration between the universities of Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Southampton and Surrey which provides services to accelerate businesses and boost enterprise. Its incubation programme specialises in growing technology start-ups from bases or ‘incubation centres’ at each of the five universities.
