Abstract:
A system and method for managing real time parcel delivery in an internet of things (IoT) computing environment are presented. One or more intercepting locations may be identified and determined to replace an originally scheduled delivery location for real-time delivery of a parcel to a recipient using one or more IoT computing devices. The one or more intercepting locations may be selected to replace the originally scheduled location for real-time delivery of the parcel to the recipient using the one or more IoT computing devices. Real-time delivery of the parcel to the one or more intercepting locations may be arranged/coordinated between a delivery service and the recipient.
