– Although we have been on the market for almost 15 years and have a strong position there, we are constantly looking for new development opportunities to best meet the needs of our users – says Arkadiusz Krupicz, Managing Director and co-founder of Pyszne.pl. – They expect a wide range of products, but also fast deliveries. These are not always possible if we are in hard-to-reach places. Drone deliveries may be the solution. We believe that in the near future, users, e.g. those vacationing on the Baltic Sea, will be able to use them.
During the weekend of August 24-25, placed orders will be delivered to the point by drone, and a courier will cover the final distance with the shipment on a bicycle.
The drone delivery was carried out after several weeks of preparations and testing.
Farada Group has been producing medium and long-range unmanned aerial vehicles for several years and implementing them in other industries. The company provided both the highest quality equipment adapted to this type of mission and meeting regulatory requirements, and took care of the aviation side of the project – from qualified pilots, ground technicians, to ensuring compliance of the operations carried out with aviation regulations. Finally, a multi-rotor drone appeared in the sky over Lake Zegrze, which can carry loads weighing up to 5 kg at a distance of up to 20 kilometers.
– Drones are changing the face of many sectors, including logistics, perfectly complementing the existing, traditional delivery methods, and in many aspects they are a response to the challenges that this industry is struggling with – says Joanna Rutkowska, Operations Director of Farada Group. – Like every innovative sector, we are struggling with a number of challenges, primarily regulatory ones. For this and other reasons, we are pleased with the partnership with Pyszne.pl – because it allows us to write another chapter in the commercial implementation of drones in Poland, giving an impulse to the development of the entire industry.
In 2024, the number of Poles using online food ordering platforms will increase to 16 million – according to the Impact Report 2023 prepared by Pyszne.pl and Kantar. The value of the food delivery market will increase to PLN 6.65 million by 2027, and this will be associated with an increased demand for deliveries.
