Now students, faculty and staff have a faster, more flexible way to collect textbooks, course materials, and merchandise which enhances the overall campus experience. This marks the third installation of Parcel Pending lockers on campus, with other locker units located near residence halls.<\/p>\n<p>The latest locker deployment builds on the university\u2019s long-standing relationship with Quadient, which also supports postal services on campus. As the university evaluated new ways to enhance the student experience at the campus store, the ability to extend secure, self-service pickup beyond traditional business hours quickly emerged as a priority. By integrating lockers into store operations, the university created a convenient, automated fulfilment option that reduces waiting times, improves access during peak periods, and supports smoother distribution of thousands of physical course materials. Students now collect orders efficiently without standing in line, even outside standard opening hours, a benefit that directly supports academic readiness and day-to-day campus life.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe saw lockers as more than just a transactional pickup point. They are helping us to deliver a more connected, supportive campus experience,\u201d<\/em> said Joe Fortune, director of Business Affairs, University of South Carolina. <em>\u201cThe lockers have changed how our store team spends their time. Instead of being focused solely on fulfilment, staff now have more opportunities to engage with customers and deliver a higher-quality service.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Early feedback on the campus store lockers has been strongly positive. Students have highlighted the speed, ease of use and extended access as key benefits, while the professionally wrapped lockers featuring university-inspired designs have helped integrate them seamlessly into the campus environment. From an operational standpoint, the shift to a self-service model enables employees to focus more on customer interaction and higher-value activities. Additionally, the lockers will help eliminate bottlenecks at the start of school terms, ensuring that thousands of course packs are distributed quickly without long lines.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, the university is exploring creative ways to use the lockers to strengthen its relationship with the campus community, such as providing items through the lockers for game days or that recognize milestones and celebrating student achievements.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe\u2019re honored to support the University of South Carolina as it modernizes the campus store experience,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>said Austin Maddox, executive vice president of North American Parcel Locker Solutions at Quadient.<em> \u201cAt South Carolina, lockers are becoming part of the campus infrastructure, extending access, improving convenience and enabling new ways for the university to serve students and staff. We look forward to continuing our collaboration as the university expands how lockers can support everything from campus store operations to broader campus needs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parcelpending.com\/en-us\/markets\/university-parcel-lockers\/\">Parcel Pending by Quadient<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 align=\"justify\">Contacts<\/h3>\n<table width=\"492\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"189\"><strong>Quadient<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"256\"><strong>Walker Sands<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"189\">Joe Scolaro<\/td>\n<td width=\"47\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"256\">Kiley Ribordy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"189\">j.scolaro@quadient.com<\/td>\n<td width=\"47\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"256\">quadientpr@walkersands.com<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"189\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">+1 203-301-3673<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"47\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"256\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parcel Pending by Quadient lockers help the University of South Carolina deliver a more connected, supportive campus experience Quadient (Euronext Paris: QDT),\u00a0a global automation platform powering secure and sustainable business connections, announces that the University of South Carolina has recently installed Parcel Pending by Quadient smart parcel lockers to support operations at its campus store.
