Copter Express teams up with what3words
Russia-based drone delivery startup Copter Express has signed up to use the what3words system. The partnership between Copter Express and what3words will mean that the drone delivery company’s customers will be able to locate and specify their pick-up points using their what3words addresses.
what3words is a global address system which divides up the world into a grid of 57 trillion 3mx3m squares, where each square has a unique pre-assigned 3-word address.
Giles Rhys Jones, the CMO of what3words, told Post&Parcel the Copter Express sign-up was the second drone-related agreement that the addressing company has made in the past few months. In July, Altavian announced that it would be using what3words to route their drones. Altavian’s drones are mainly used for survey work- but the company has also recently launched a delivery drone.
