Over the past few years, it's gone from this niche experience to something that more and more companies talk about.
I've heard, as I've talked to experts in this industry, that they see a lot of consumers who try this out tend to order again via drone delivery.
But of course, right now, the rollout's been pretty sporadic.
I'm sure most of the people listening to this have not had this in their neighborhoods.
It's been pretty limited to very specific regions of the United States as these operators have had to deal with regulatory obstacles, community concerns about
like the buzzing overhead, for example, and also just limitations of these devices flying in rain or storms.
Overhaul is looking to use this funding to invest in artificial intelligence technology and make additional acquisitions.
So the company this week acquired another supply chain visibility company called Freight Verify.
And Overhaul says that they want to make more deals like that.
And some examples of what Overhaul says that it's able to do is track when a door is open that shouldn't be opened or a truck driver is going in the wrong direction and is off route.
Overhaul says that it works with companies to set them up with tracking devices that link to the overhaul platform and then allow overhaul to monitor shipments in real time.
In concept, overhaul wants to go beyond basic location tracking to offer shippers insight into what's happening with their goods.
So that can include overhaul running security centers that monitor shipments and intervene if a truckload goes missing, for example, and then they will involve law enforcement as needed.
Overhaul said that in June, it provided real-time location data and photos of a tractor and a trailer to law enforcement after a $1.6 million shipment of electronics was stolen in Texas.
Overhaul says that it was its information that it provided to law enforcement that helped lead to the recovery of that shipment.
Cargo theft has been a growing problem over recent years.
Just in the most recent period for the second quarter of this year, more than 880 cargo thefts were reported across the U.S.
and Canada, and that was up 13% from the same period last year.
That's according to risk assessment from Varus CargoNet.
So more and more companies have been getting into this freight tracking visibility space over the past couple of decades, really.
