Last week, I had a conversation with Aku Happo, and the situation looked tough.

Smartmile had just announced a significant shift—offering their parcel locker software to the market—and Aku was facing uncertainty.

Would there be interest?

Would companies take action?

One week later, everything changed.

Smartmile now has 20+ serious leads—and they’re not just last-mile companies.

Retailers, hardware providers, and even city governments are reaching out.

The demand for open, agnostic locker networks is real, and it’s coming from every direction.

This is a perfect example of how quickly things move in logistics when you offer the right solution at the right time.

If you’re still relying on closed systems, maybe it’s time to reconsider.

But still - there is limited time to act as this offer has an end date.

To support Aku, share this message with your network so that it will reach the people who might need this solution.
