Sell your inventory by drone — without owning a single aircraft
SkyMesh Local is an open-access drone delivery marketplace that connects independent local retailers to certified regional UAS operators. You publish your catalog; the platform handles eligibility screening, flight routing, deconfliction, and proof of delivery. Merchants keep their storefront, their pricing, and their customers.
How to become a merchant in 3 steps
Connect your inventory
Link Shopify, Square, or Clover, or bulk-upload a CSV. Every synced SKU runs through the drone-eligibility engine automatically — no manual weight screening.
Go live on the network
Drone-ready items appear on the consumer storefront. When a local order lands, Pack-to-Pod verification preps the parcel and a regional operator is dispatched.
Why join the SkyMesh Local network
Keep your storefront, pricing, and customers
SkyMesh Local is an open marketplace — you sell your own inventory at your own prices. No catalog lock-in, no exclusive carrier contracts, no proprietary hardware.
Flat software pricing, no per-unit commission
A monthly subscription billed per location plus a $2.00 routing fee per completed dispatch. Your margin stays in your store, not skimmed off every sale.
No drones, pilots, or FAA certificates required
Certified regional UAS operators supply the aircraft and Part 107 compliance. You pack the pod; we handle routing, deconfliction, and chain-of-custody.
Built for every retail category
Hardware, pharmacy, grocery, specialty, restaurants — if it fits 5.0 lbs and 24×18×12 inches, it can fly. The eligibility engine sorts it automatically.
Live flight tracking & proof of delivery
Every order ships with OTP release, delivery snapshots, and FAA-style audit logs. Customers track their delivery live from store to landing pad.
Multi-location licensing
Operating several storefronts? License each location on one invoice — each gets its own inventory sync, drop-zone mesh, and dispatch queue.
The independent alternative to Amazon Prime Air and Walmart drone delivery
Closed corporate programs fly one company's inventory out of its own warehouses. SkyMesh Local is an open network: independent retailers supply the goods, certified regional operators supply the aircraft, and shoppers order from the store down the street. Any merchant can join — no exclusive contracts, no proprietary hardware lock-in.

Hybrid pricing: a monthly software subscription billed per store location, plus a $2.00 platform routing fee per completed aerial dispatch. Multi-location retailers are licensed per storefront — each location gets its own inventory sync, drop-zone mesh, and dispatch queue.
