IRVINE, Calif., June 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Parcel Pending by Quadient, North America’s leading provider of smart locker solutions for residential, commercial, retail, and university properties, unveiled its enhanced package room system today. Designed to address the package management needs of multifamily communities of all sizes, the package room functions either as a stand-alone system or as an extension to lockers. It enables multifamily communities to securely receive packages of any size and provides a safe way for residents to retrieve their standard and oversize packages 24/7.

Consumers are shopping online more than ever before. In fact, e-commerce experienced 10 years of growth in the first three months of 2020 and online sales (as a share of total sales) are expected to increase by 25% over the next 5 years.

“With an improved installation process and security features, our package rooms help to solve the package management needs of both small and large multifamily properties,” explained Lori A. Torres, CEO of Parcel Pending by Quadient. “For small properties with limited space, our package room provides a cost-effective way to manage resident packages. And for large properties, package rooms complement the indoor and outdoor locker towers by providing a secure space for oversize packages.”

The way it works is simple. Couriers deliver packages directly into the package room using their unique access code. Residents are then automatically notified that their packages have arrived via email and/or text, and they are provided a unique access code for entry once they arrive at the package room. Residents quickly and easily retrieve their package(s) at their convenience and without having to come into contact with anyone.

“Residents enjoy our package room because they can safely pick up their online orders and goods at their convenience without having to worry about package theft,” continued Torres. “Meanwhile, property managers love the package room because it saves them valuable staff time, resources and space while also boosting resident satisfaction. There’s also added peace of mind knowing that the package room is monitored and that access is controlled 24/7. It truly is a win-win for all.”
