Evan Abel, Head of Service Design at the Rounds, sits down with host Matt Prindiville to discuss how the company is taking delivery to a new level of convenience. Their “psychic home manager” handles the inventory of everyday essentials in your home, anticipating and bringing you goods exactly when you need them – with zero waste.
With its cutting-edge software, the company learns what you want, delivers your products in refillable containers with personalized amounts, and then “makes the rounds” to pick them back up for reuse with a fleet of e-bikes and electric vehicles. This ingenuity helped set them apart and win The Reusies award this year for Most Innovative Reuse Company in the Enabling Technology sector.
