Keyless Package Management: The Future of On- and Off-Campus Deliveries

July 25, 2023

How Package Concierge® is Revolutionizing Package Management for Gen Z Students

As the cost of college education continues to rise, students are faced with financial challenges while managing their studies and daily lives. One major concern for these Gen Z consumers (aged 18 to 24) is package theft, especially considering their heavy reliance on online shopping, spending an average of $2,000 annually. To tackle this logistical nightmare, student housing centers need an efficient solution that streamlines and simplifies their package management processes, making it hassle-free for both staff and students.

The Package Dilemma on College Campuses

Student housing centers often find themselves overwhelmed with a flood of cardboard boxes containing textbooks, care packages, and dorm essentials. Managing this influx of packages becomes even more challenging due to students' busy class schedules and limited availability to pick up their deliveries. Extended service hours are often required, leading to potential package pileups if students cannot collect their packages during these hours. These pileups create a significant risk of increased package theft and loss, a concern that must be addressed to ensure students' satisfaction and safety.

Package Concierge®: The Solution to Package Management Woes

One company that has been successfully addressing package management challenges is Package Concierge®. Their innovative and keyless intelligent locker system offers a high-quality solution that works smarter, not harder. By providing a user-friendly interface and a secure method of package storage, Package Concierge® has become the go-to solution for student housing centers seeking to tighten their package security.

Cambridge Oxford Student Housing: A Case Study

Cambridge Oxford Student Housing faced a pressing need for improved package security without adding extra oversight, manual processes, or maintenance. They sought a system that could efficiently handle the large volume of packages without compromising on the user experience. After witnessing the seamless operation of another Package Concierge® system nearby, they decided to implement the solution on their premises. As a result, Cambridge Oxford Student Housing now effortlessly manages over 60 packages daily, allowing leasing managers to focus on essential tasks while offering peace of mind to student residents.

Chelsea Place: Simplifying Package Management

Chelsea Place, a student apartment building in Boston, faced a similar challenge of managing packages without full-time management staff. With Package Concierge® locker system in place, they now receive their daily packages without any issues. Residents can trust that their valuables are secure, even when they are out of town, and will be available upon their return. The property manager, Sara Young, raves about the system's efficiency and ease of use for both residents and management, advocating that every property should have a Package Concierge® system.

Elevating the Package Concierge® Experience

At the Hub on Campus locations, including Orlando, Package Concierge® has taken a step further in enhancing the locker system's appearance. Orlando's Hub on Campus location wrapped their smart package lockers in Pink Flamingos, creatively incorporating branding and location-specific imagery. This artistic approach has not only brightened up the hallway but also made package retrieval a more exciting experience for students. Other Hub on Campus properties have taken note and expressed their envy at the Orlando site's elevated locker look.

The Lorenzo: Reducing Staff Involvement

The Lorenzo in Los Angeles faced the significant challenge of managing over 500 packages a day for its 3,000 student residents. Prior to implementing Package Concierge®, this task consumed an entire staff member's day and resulted in long lines at the residential services office. With the Package Concierge® locker system in place, the onsite staff could shift their focus to other resident needs, and students can now conveniently retrieve their packages 24/7 without waiting in long lines. The Package Manager, Edie, praised the system's efficiency in a video, stating that he wouldn't even consider going back to a manual process.
