Veriff, a global identity verification solutions provider, has announced its partnership with Starship Technologies, the world’s renowned provider of autonomous delivery services to provide authentication and re-verification services for its fleet of autonomous delivery robots in the United Kingdom.
Partnership with Veriff
With this partnership, Veriff adds an extra layer of safety and security to Starship Technologies’ services, making it the first company in the world to create a fully autonomous end-to-end delivery service for age-restricted items.
Launched in 2014 by Skype Co-Founders, Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis, Starship Technologies is revolutionising food and package deliveries, by offering users convenient, low-emission delivery services, via its autonomous robot fleet, fully monitored through their smartphone app.
Veriff’s AI-powered identity verification platform
Veriff will enable an additional level of security to Starship Technologies’ delivery platform
Veriff will enable an additional level of security to Starship Technologies’ delivery platform, in order to further verify the purchase and delivery of age-restricted items via the re-authentication of the user, through Veriff’s AI-powered identity verification platform.
Ryan Tuohy, the Senior Vice President of Business Development and Sales at Starship Technologies, said “Partnering with Veriff allows Starship to autonomously deliver age-restricted items in the UK and beyond as we continue to take on new markets and stores at a rapid pace.”
Delivering high quality identity verification solutions
Ryan Tuohy adds, “We are excited to work with Veriff, in providing the highest quality identity verification solutions for our users, to ensure their safety and peace of mind on our trusted platform.”
Starship Technologies operates commercially on a daily basis around the world. Its robots have travelled millions of miles and make more than 100,000 road crossings every day, and have reached more than two million autonomous deliveries, as of late 2021.
Starship Food Delivery app
Through the Starship Food Delivery app on iOS and Android, users choose from a range of their favourite food or drink items, then drop a pin where they want their delivery to be sent. Users can then watch as the robot makes its journey to them via an interactive map.
Once the robot arrives, they receive an alert, and can then meet and unlock it through the app, once their identity has been verified through Veriff’s seamless biometric authentication technology, at the time of delivery.
New era solutions that push the boundaries of technology
“Veriff is always seeking out organisations delivering new era solutions that truly push the boundaries of technology in our daily lives, and Starship is an excellent example,” said Janer Gorohhov, the Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer (CPO) of Veriff.
Janer Gorohhov adds, “We're thrilled to partner with Starship, to provide our unmatched identity verification capabilities, thereby ensuring safety and proper age verification to be in place for restricted products.”
