IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Parcel Pending, the North American leader of package delivery solutions, will showcase its smart parcel lockers at booth #1601 at The 2019 Buildings Show taking place December 4-6 in Toronto. Parcel Pending lockers provide secure package storage and convenient retrieval for tenants while also reducing operational costs for property owners and managers.
Parcel volume has nearly doubled (48 percent) over the past two years due in large part to the boom in online and mobile shopping. This number will only continue to grow: PWC estimates the number of packages delivered annually will rise to 16 billion by 2020, up from 11 billion in 2018.
As package deliveries continue to rise so too do the types of delivery locations. Today’s consumers are having their online purchases delivered not only to their residences but also to their workplaces. This is why property owners and managers of multifamily and commercial properties are turning to Parcel Pending to help them effectively manage the growing number of packages they receive.
“Parcel Pending alleviates the stress of package management at commercial and multifamily properties by assuming all customer service responsibilities for package delivery, notification and retrieval,” stated Lori A. Torres, Parcel Pending CEO and Founder. “Consumers love our lockers because they get to quickly and easily retrieve their packages at their convenience. Meanwhile, property owners and managers love them because they no longer have to waste precious time accepting, logging, sorting, and distributing packages. In fact, it is estimated that our lockers help save up to 24 hours of staff time each week. That’s a huge savings when it comes to operational costs.”
The Parcel Pending Difference:
- Smart – Infrared scanners detect and categorize the packages in each locker.
- Secure –cloud-based video surveillance comes standard.
- Cool – Refrigerated lockers keep temperature-sensitive items cool.
- Courier Agnostic – 100% deliverability from all couriers.
- Convenient – Fits practically any sized package.
- Mobile-Friendly – Delivery notifications sent to your residents’ phones.
The Parcel Pending process is simple. Recipients are instantly notified by text, email or mobile app when they have a delivery. Once a notification is received, the recipient can pick up the package using the unique code provided in the notification or by using the convenient mobile app. Property owners and managers do not need to sign for packages, sort them or distribute them to recipients.
“These days, consumers want and expect that their home and workplace amenities will make their lives easier and that includes the effortless retrieval of their personal packages and goods,” continued Torres. “That’s why it is so important for key players in the building industry to invest in tech-forward solutions like our electronic parcel lockers.”
Parcel Pending successfully delivers over 1.6 million packages monthly in 48 states and Canada.
