Naurt supercharges delivery industry as it goes public with innovative geo-location software

Naurt

The global “last mile” food and package delivery industry is worth almost $990b and is facing immense pressures to manage costs and cope with demand. Helping them deliver on their promise and create operational efficiencies, geo-location start-up Naurt today announcing the public launch of their software which is set to redefine the delivery ecosystem. Having successfully completed over 80 pilots with a range of organisations, Naurt is launching with a £300,000 funding from venture builder Founder + Lighting to propel its ambitious scale-up plans. The Naurt platform is laser focussed on fixing the biggest issue facing delivery drivers: the arduous task of finding the best parking spot and the correct building entrance. By showcasing the optimal locations, Naurt guarantees quicker deliveries, ensuring parcels never get lost or delayed. This innovation not only enhances delivery capacity by 5% to 15%, but it also significantly impacts delivery companies’ gross profit margins by minimising the key industry “stop cost” metric. This measures the number of deliveries made per shift divided by the length of time it’s taken the driver to complete. During its beta testing (last 18 months), Naurt has collaborated with 83 organisations, who have reported a 6.67% increase in daily deliveries. This boost, equating to an additional delivery per day for drivers, translates into substantial financial savings for companies, especially when labour costs account for a substantial 40% of delivery service expenses. Founded in 2020, Naurt has been on a mission to refine GPS tracking accuracy. The company’s unique software-first approach has enabled them to deliver significant business impact and has been recognised by winning Tech Nation’s Rising Stars start-up competition, outperforming 627 others. With a rapidly expanding team, which includes industry stalwarts Lucy Woolfenden, former CMO at Yolt, and Cien Solon, ex-Zilch, Naurt is poised to scale the business. Jack Maddalena, CEO of Naurt, said, “We see many businesses miss out due to poor levels of location data quality. Now that we have proven our quality of location tracking and data, this will lift the constraints and open possibilities for teams. Naurt has unlocked this opportunity for businesses, with the delivery sector being our initial focus. It's become clear that accurate location tracking alone is not sufficient in this fast paced industry, there's a desperate need for location intelligence in each and every delivery. A lack of which is costing businesses and people time, money and safety. We have created a solution that is able to improve on this without the need for extra hardware. The work we are doing will be transformational for people and businesses around the world”. The current economic environment has witnessed a shift from growth to profitability. Final mile companies are striving to streamline operations, making Naurt’s solution increasingly pertinent. Their patent-pending software not only ensures efficient deliveries by determining optimal parking spots and building entrances, but it also amasses invaluable data, with over 500 million location points collected in collaboration with global delivery giants. Recent studies, like the research paper from Washington University, have underscored the need for intelligent parking solutions, highlighting potential savings of up to 27.9% in parking search time. This further emphasises the value Naurt brings to the industry. “We are confident that Naurt has a globally unrivalled location-tracking solution. Last-mile delivery problems are costing businesses millions each year and Naurt will help slash these inefficiencies.” added Conor Moylan, Chief Investment Officer at Founder + Lightning Looking ahead, Naurt is eager to integrate with numerous delivery companies, aspiring to become an industry-standard software solution. Their vision extends beyond deliveries; they foresee their technology aiding utility companies in asset tracking, potentially revolutionising maintenance protocols. About Naurt Established in 2020 in the UK, Naurt is reshaping the delivery landscape with pioneering software solutions. Our focus on advanced GPS tracking and precise parking and entrance data has simplified deliveries, boosting efficiency and profits for global delivery firms. As a winner of Tech Nation’s Rising Stars award, we’ve showcased a software-driven approach to tangible challenges. In partnership with industry titans, we’ve captured over 500 million location points, leading the way in delivery and location tracking. Naurt is on a mission to set the benchmark in location data across diverse sectors. About Founder & Lighting Founder + Lightning Capital invests in Founders to help them build, grow and transform their businesses with technology. Over the last decade, Founder + Lightning has built over 35 businesses, protecting Founders’ runway and business growth like their own. Founder + Lightning Capital has an ecosystem of investment, strategy, design and tech and is looking to invest in Founders building B2B startups.

LimeWire Acquires BlueWillow - AI Image Generation Model and 2nd Largest Community with 2.3 Million Users

LimeWire

LimeWire, the tech company best known for peer-to-peer music sharing, has acquired AI generation platform BlueWillow. BlueWillow is a leading AI image generation platform with a vibrant community of over 2.3 million active members. In the span of this year alone, BlueWillow has facilitated the creation of 500 million images, solidifying its position as a driving force in the AI content generation sphere. The acquisition comes on the heels of LimeWire announcing LimeWire AI Studio, its content generation platform that allows anyone to create images, own the rights to them, and generate revenue when those images are used. "This is more than an acquisition; it's the merger of a shared vision and innovation. Welcoming BlueWillow amplifies our commitment to both the artist and creator community. Together, we're shaping the future of AI-driven content creation and creativity." shared Paul and Julian Zehetmayr, LimeWire's Co-CEOs. As a result of this acquisition, LimeWire will now combine its already easy-to-use AI Studio, and creator platform with BlueWillow’s proprietary AI model for text-to-image and image-to-image generation. LimeWire’s objective moving forward is clear: to provide all creators with access to advanced AI tools and empower everyone to unleash their creative potential. Understanding AI Content Generation Space The updated LimeWire AI Studio leverages a range of open-source AI technologies, allowing creators to own the images they create. Through this acquisition, it makes the creation process easier so anyone - regardless of their technical ability - can participate. These capabilities will set LimeWire apart from other competitors who only offer image creation capabilities without ownership rights and those reliant on Discord communities and complex prompts, which often limit users' creative potential. Giving Creators Ownership Additionally, this deal will facilitate the creation of the only AI image generator community where creators are able to earn money from their work through ad revenue sharing. The alliance ensures that users, both old and new, will have access to unparalleled AI tools and resources to create, share and monetize their content. Thus setting the stage for a new era in AI-generated content. Creators will receive 50% of ad revenue generated from their content (up to 70% depending on status within the community). Subscribers to said creator will receive 10% of ad revenue generated and an additional 10% if they share their work on social media. LimeWire's acquisition of BlueWillow not only combines the strengths of two pioneering platforms but also further illustrates LimeWire's commitment to democratizing the digital creative space. BlueWillow’s CEO Ritankar Das states, "At the heart of BlueWillow is our community, a diverse group of passionate creators and innovators who have been pivotal to our growth. Joining the LimeWire family ensures that our community doesn’t just grow in numbers but thrives in an environment of state-of-the-art tools and expanded opportunities." ABOUT LIMEWIRE LimeWire is an innovative subscription-based platform designed to empower content creators, artists, and brands while offering fans exclusive content, access to private communities, and direct communication with their favorite artists. Evolving from its early 2000s music discovery roots, LimeWire enables creators to maintain greater control over their content, generate predictable income, and foster strong connections with their most loyal fans.
