How Do Self Service Lockers Work?


Every modern workplace requires a safe place for employees and tenants to store belongings, and a secure system to manage incoming and outgoing parcel deliveries. Now there’s a new way for businesses to protect their people, property and products.

Smart Doesn’t Have To Be Complicated

Electronic parcel lockers are considered a necessity in virtually every industry. These ‘smart’ lockers are created with utmost security in mind and built tough. Yet, parcel storage lockers are as easy to use as an ATM machine. Basically, these units can only be opened using a unique PIN code entered on a digital keypad or touch screen. Here’s how it works:

Once the package arrives at the delivery location the carrier places it in the locker compartment and closes the door. At this point, the locker can only be opened by using a unique one-time-use PIN code. The recipient is notified by SMS or email, and is the only one given that particular access code.

The recipient receives the notification and the unique PIN code. At the smart locker unit, she or he will use the touch screen to sign in to their personal account, and then enter their PIN number to access the locker. The door opens, the parcel is retrieved and the delivery process is complete.

If an employee is sending a parcel, the process reverses. The package along with its waybill is placed in the locker. Now, the delivery person is the one to use a PIN code to access the locker, pick up the package and take it to the depot to continue delivery. When sending packages from intelligent parcel lockers, tracking details are available as they would normally be.

Security And Accessibility For Everyone

To assure the best quality system for your staff or tenants, there are some key features to look for when comparing intelligent parcel lockers. You’ll want a bank-grade keypad and a large commercial grade easy-to-read touchscreen, extra security features including CCTV & pinhole cameras, industrial-grade steel, and the manufacturer’s assurance that the system meets all industry requirements and Canadian Electrical Safety Standards.

Parcel storage lockers should be easily and equally accessible to everyone, so be sure the system you choose is compliant with the Canadian Disabilities Act. This smart locker will have the correct screen heights, a raised ‘home’ button on the keypad for the sight impaired, and a disability setting in the Cloud to ensure packages are not stored too high. For ease of use, security and accessibility, Snaile parcel storage lockers meet or exceed all of these requirements.

Snaile Lockers now Supported by an Amazon Canada Ticketing System for Failed Locker Deliveries

Image
  Smart lockers   used in Canadian multi-residential buildings such as condominiums and apartments solve a lot of issues not only for the consumers making the ecommerce purchases but also for the parcel delivery company, the ecommerce company and for the buildings themselves. Of course, for smart lockers to work properly deliveries must occur systemically, hence why Snaile has had delivery contracts in place for several years with all major Canadian carriers to make sure there is contractual recourse if a delivery driver doesn’t follow what their employer, the building and the building residents want – deliveries to go into Snaile lockers. Still, there is some management to do with drivers that are eager to drop parcels and go, these are typically independent smaller companies, or individuals acting as delivery contractors. Hence the announcement of a ticketing system for Amazon specific contracted deliveries that will address non-delivery to Snaile lockers if-and-when they oc...

No-Contact Delivery: The Safest Way During the Pandemic

Image
Online shopping has been strongly encouraged since the beginning of the pandemic and many people have happily obliged by getting their purchases delivered now more than ever before. However, e-commerce is not completely risk free when it comes to keeping consumers safe. With that said, there is a smart-tech solution that retailers and buildings can turn to help mitigate many of the risks associated with e-commerce deliveries – smart parcel lockers. This solution can be found across the country, including   contactless lockers in Edmonton . The Problem with Conventional Delivery Methods While e-commerce does help to reduce the chances of coronavirus being spread throughout communities by eliminating the need to visit potentially crowded stores, there are still some risks associated with online shopping. Most notably, the person-to-person contact that has traditionally been part of the last-mile delivery process poses a risk to both carriers and residents, as well as concierge and se...

The Future of Parcel Delivery

Remember those Saturday morning cartoons, when the Jetsons would order food on a screen and then instantly get the item from their Replicator? It all seemed so futuristic- but when you consider the ease of online shopping partnered with the convenience of parcel lockers for apartments, you could say the future is already here. Don’t Touch That Dial Shopping outside of traditional bricks-and-mortar retail stores isn’t a new concept. In the mid to late 1800’s catalogue shopping was often the only way to obtain clothing, tools and other everyday items. “But wait, there’s more!” The 20th century brought TV’s frantic ‘call now’ marketing and infomercials. Then along came the internet and by the mid-90s, websites like EBay and Amazon were exploding in popularity. Recent reports suggest that retail sales from worldwide electronic commerce are expected to grow from 2.3 trillion U.S. dollars in 2017 to almost 4.9 trillion in 2021. With all the online options available today, residents ...
