More importantly, shopping behavior has permanently changed<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> meaning that even with widespread adoption of a vaccine in 2021, a much higher percentage of online shopping and shipping is here to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in <a href=\"\/en-ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">smart lockers<\/a> from development to resident move-in and lease-up puts you on track to increase safety, lower labor costs, reduce package liability, retain residents, boost the community experience, and gain a competitive advantage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Successful multifamily investing revolves around creating the best commercial real estate locations to attract consistent rental income. Smart lockers are a unique investment opportunity for the multifamily market because they create happier residents who become long-term \u201ccustomers\u201d who may refer other residents to the community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New investors are beginning to attach automated parcel locker systems to their rental unit buildings because of their impact on their bottom line. Let\u2019s look at each of these real estate property benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Planning for Smart Lockers from the Get-Go<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When multifamily real estate developers enable architects to design a property around experience as opposed to simply accommodating amenities, they make a significant <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">investment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tenant<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> experience. Now that COVID-19 has restricted access to many of a property\u2019s most desirable amenities, providing premium contact-free amenities like package lockers is key to attracting residents to new developments. Building real estate property with package lockers is a relatively inexpensive way of increasing rental income, creating premium apartment building units, and attracting better residents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why savvy architects and property developers are planning now to integrate intelligent lockers into their blueprints. Designing parcel lockers into the plan from the get-go is an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">investment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that allows for a property to maximize available space, match the design theme, and reap significant cost benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parcel Pending\u2019s team of design engineers can work side-by-side with architects and development teams to help plan for locker amenities from the start of a property\u2019s development. We also offer several innovative pricing strategies including a \u201cno money down\u201d option as well as a subscription model that helps investors avoid an upfront capital expense.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Parcel Locker Systems Increase Safety and Social Distancing<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CDC is clear in its message to multifamily <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">property management<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: promote behaviors that reduce spread<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smart lockers allow residents to retrieve packages without standing in-line or close together, thereby promoting social distancing. Moreover, with contactless access features, residents can<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pick up parcels without interacting with delivery company drivers, property staff, or even other residents. The smart parcel locker system sends recipients a unique access code and\/or a barcode via text or email to their smartphone, allowing for easy and safe package pickup without ever touching a keypad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since its inception in 2013, Parcel Pending has successfully delivered over 57 million packages in North America! Almost all of these deliveries required zero interaction with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">property management<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, leasing consultants, or administrative staff. <a href=\"\/en-ca\/blog\/technologys-key-role-in-multifamily-property-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Property management technology<\/a> can significantly improve your resident experience, save you money, and grow your investment portfolio.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Smart Lockers Lower Labor Costs<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">multifamily investor<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or property manager today is looking for the most efficient use of staff.

Say goodbye to parcel sorting, resident package queries, and signature validation with the installation of smart lockers. It\u2019s estimated that Parcel Pending\u2019s smart lockers can save personnel up to 24 hours per week<sup>5<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further, smart lockers allow residents to retrieve their parcels on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">their<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> schedule without hassling<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">your staff. Even \u201cstale\u201d packages are a thing of the past due to automated reminders that a package is awaiting pick up.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Reduces Package Liability with Automated Lockers &amp; Reporting<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chain of custody reporting tools are critical in any smart locker system; it\u2019s important to have complete visibility into where your residents\u2019 parcels are at all times. Parcel Pending\u2019s system takes you out of the liability loop and reduces the number of \u201cdisappearing\u201d packages at your<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rental property<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Not surprisingly then, residents state that smart lockers are the number one requested amenity.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refrigerated lockers will also play a bigger role as growth in grocery and pharmaceutical delivery accelerates. In fact, Parcel Pending has already seen a nearly 45% uptick in requests for refrigerated lockers this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing that deliveries are secure and available on-demand and contact-free will become increasingly important to prospective tenants, especially since 87% of consumers already prefer contact-free shopping experiences<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>9<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Boost the Customer Experience<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strong customer experiences breed positive relationships and encourage them to become your brand advocates. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">73% of consumers say a good experience is key in influencing their brand loyalties<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>10<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; loyal customers are four times more likely to refer a friend to the company<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>11<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

These systems were designed to create repeat customers, both in stores and in apartment settings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s therefore essential to curate a positive resident experience from the very first interaction. Responsiveness is as key, as is automation. Marrying technology with communication puts you on the forefront of creating a happy resident. Apps such as MeetElise, Mobile Doorman, and Funnel all contribute to fast response times in different phases of the leasing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accompanying the shift to online shopping, residents harbor the expectation that their packages will be stored safely and securely. Lockers allow residents to retrieve their parcels on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">their<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> schedule without waiting in-line or taking up precious staff time. Knowing that packages are securely stowed via smart lockers also contributes to a positive community experience and overall peace of mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, online shopping behavior has permanently changed with forecasts showing continued growth and indicating that this change will remain a part of mainstream life.
