Smart Parcel Lockers - Automated Delivery Solution | Pitney Bowes (2024)

Smart lockers are the modern solution to manage package, mail and asset delivery demands. They increase efficiencies and provide secure, contactless pick-up options for recipients at their convenience. From pre-configured solutions delivered in 6 weeks or less to customizable solutions to fit your specific volume, space, layout and workflow requirements, Pitney Bowes has a postal locker to fit your needs. Plus, our smart lockers seamlessly integrate with receiving software, enabling you to receive and deliver with ease.

Organizations and campuses that receive large volumes of packages clearly understand the challenges in managing package receiving and delivery. An end-to-end package locker solution from Pitney Bowes provides:

• Contactless delivery, improving the package pick-up experience for recipients
• An additional delivery/pick-up destination freeing up space in crowded mailrooms and reducing the number of lost or misplaced packages
• Increased efficiency of mail center labour resources
  

There are a number of key elements to consider. Here’s a shortlist:

• Choose a partner with a strong service infrastructure who can immediately respond to your service call. This is essential to ensure your organization’s mail centre continues to operate with little to no interruption.
• Evaluate the build quality of the locker as well as its software integrations. In other words, confirm the software’s capability to deliver the operational efficiencies you need.
• Assess the longevity and reputation of your potential partner. You want to be certain the provider can support you for the term of your business.
  

Build quality refers to the quality of the structure, including materials, durability and design. It’s important because many lockers are manufactured with sub-par materials, resulting in excessive maintenance and replacement costs early on. The quality of the hardware needs to be durable enough for constant use, plus able to withstand wear and tear over time. Look for heavy-duty materials like U.S. steel for ultimate durability.

Typically delivery from a smart locker provider can take 12 weeks or more. ParcelPoint pre-configured Express Series smart lockers are designed to meet the most common parcel delivery needs and are delivered in 6 weeks or less*. ParcelPoint modular Plus Series smart lockers are customized to meet your specific parcel and asset management needs and are delivered in 10 weeks or less.
