Challenge
Sun E Mates is a tech startup founded in 2019 by two friends passionate in technology and innovation. With experience working in parcel shipment deliveries in southern California, one of the co-founders noticed a disturbing trend in the theft of packages delivered to consumers.
Realizing the potential opportunity in addressing the lack of security in parcel deliveries, he was determined to come up with a solution to this growing problem. Thus, the Sun E Mates security box concept was born.
During the planning of the original concept, another more immediate problem needed to be addressed. The COVID-19 global pandemic and potential risk of infection became a serious concern and obstacle that society is currently faced with. This global pandemic barrier became a major opportunity for Sun E Mates to shift gears and tackle two problems at the same time.
The team quickly adjusted the concept and was able to produce a new solution that has revolutionized current models in parcel shipping standards. With a newfound passion to help those in need with a solution that addresses physical and biological security, Sun E Mates introduces the “SunBox” with a highly anticipated launch through a Kickstarter campaign in the summer of 2020. This IoT implementation case study displays our technical approach to solving their problem.
“My experience working with SaM Solutions has been amazing. They have been on top of every aspect of the partnership which has been seamless. They have structure, when we had little. They simply laid out a blueprint which allowed us to visually reach our timeframe goals at a pace we would have ever accomplished alone.
SaM Solutions is very responsive with all team members. Every time we had a question or concern, they gave us clarity and would respond immediately. They sometimes went above and beyond our questions to give us additional information to better execute tasks and eventually build a better solution.
Working with the team has been like having a partner versus having someone externally. This has made the whole experience more enjoyable for us. Because of this partnership, we are so much closer to having our vision becoming a reality.
The Startup Support program was one of the most impressive things because of how much they care and worked with us to find a payment solution that works. It makes us feel like as they are just as invested as we are and continue to drive us forward. The flexibility and business professionalism on how they work with us is top-notch and I don’t think it’s a relationship that is easy to come by. I would 100% recommend SaM Solutions for any business looking for software development help.”Gary AlstonSun E Mates Co-Founder
