Company mission

Glue’s mission is to enable the most convenient, secure and sustainable unattended delivery of products and services into the home.

Our take

Smart home devices such as smart alarms, smart cameras, and smart lockers are being considered by households to be more safe and secure. The global smart home security market is booming, and expected to continue growing as consumers increasingly focus on improving security systems in their homes due to increasing safety concerns.

Glue provides a digital smart lock system allowing users to lock and unlock their front door with their phone or Apple Watch, and view who has locked or unlocked doors. The lock can be accessed remotely, and digital keys can be shared with friends or family. Delivery companies can also be given access by users for safer deliveries using Glue's InHome platform, even if they are not at home.

Major players in this market include ADT, Amazon, and Google. Glue is well-positioned to capitalise on the innovations happening within this market due to its unique approach of providing more personalisation of security to users by allowing approved access to others.
