Arrive today announced a partnership with nVIAsoft Corporation to integrate the world’s most sophisticated and secure biometric verification technology into its advanced smart Mailbox-as-a-Service (MaaS) solutions platform.

nVIAsoft’s “Verihand” technology uses-whole hand multi-modal pattern recognition to create a unique biometric and pure digital identity. The non-invasive, highly accurate identity verification technology uses a touchless sensor to identify the unique pattern of veins on an individual’s hand. The much larger number of reference points spread across a hand makes the nVIAsoft solution more accurate than other available options.

“Organizations like hospitals, pharmacies and law firms have highly sensitive products and materials to ship and can’t risk having their items end up in the wrong hands,” said Arrive CEO Dan O’Toole.

After conducting due diligence on the Verihand technology, the Arrive team agreed it is the market leader in secure authentication.

“With just a wave of your hand, using Verihand technology, we’ll have the most accurate and secure chain-of-custody possible while also keeping shipped items safe until they are retrieved by the intended recipient," O’Toole said.

nVIAsoft Founder and CEO Bernard Garcia characterized the collaboration as an ideal tech partnership and a pivotal convergence of complementary technologies with substantial potential.

“This partnership signifies a strategic alignment of our strengths in secure technology, which presents an opportunity to enhance our capabilities and deliver robust solutions to clients,” he said. “Arrive delivers a safe, convenient platform for autonomous and conventional package deliveries. Adding our pioneering authentication guarantees life-saving medicine or meals won't get into the wrong hands.”

Arrive technology has been piloted by hospitals, restaurants and the United States Postal Service. Arrive’splatform offers a secure delivery point and features patented technology that enables the device to interact with Internet of Things devices, provide alerts to deter criminal activity and acts as charging stations. Units are expected to be in use this year. At scale, the platform will provide a treasure trove of data that, when paired with artificial intelligence, will provide a huge array of useful information.
