Why Now is the Perfect Time for Supermarkets to Host Open Network Parcel Lockers

If you’re a supermarket or convenience store owner offering over-the-counter PUDO services you’re likely well aware of the challenges that come with managing package deliveries. With the rise of online shopping, the number of packages being delivered to brick-and-mortar locations has increased significantly, leading to logistical challenges and potential security issues.

Fortunately, Parcel Pending by Quadient offers an innovative, automated solution that can simplify the package delivery process and provide a seamless experience for you and your customers.

Here are some reasons why now is the perfect time to start hosting Parcel Pending open network parcel lockers:

1. Increased Demand for Out-of-Home Delivery

With doorstep parcel thefts increasing, there has been a significant increase in demand for out-of-home delivery options. Parcel Pending by Quadient’s Open Network parcel lockers offer a secure, self-service delivery experience, which can help to reassure your customers and provide them with a safe and convenient option for receiving their packages.

Our lockers are carrier-agnostic, so multiple carriers can deliver into them, meaning more customers using a range of couriers can be drawn to your location.

2. Streamlined Package Management

Managing package deliveries can be a time-consuming and labour-intensive process, particularly during peak delivery periods. With Parcel Pending, you can achieve all the benefits of offering PUDO services, but without having to handle parcels. Freeing up your staff enables them to focus on other important tasks, such as customer service, monitoring store security and stocking shelves.

3. Enhanced Security and Safety

Parcel Pending lockers are designed to provide a high level of security and safety for packages. Each locker is equipped with advanced security features, including tamper-proof locks, image surveillance, and access control, to ensure that packages are kept safe and secure until they are picked up by the intended recipient.

4. Free up space

Parcels are processed directly into the lockers, so you do not have to find space to store them behind the till or in the stockroom.

5. Improved Customer Experience

Parcel Pending’s open network parcel lockers provide a seamless and convenient experience for your customers, which can help to increase customer satisfaction and loyalty. Customers can receive their packages at a time that’s convenient for them, without having to worry about missing a delivery or waiting in line at a collection counter.
