How Smart Lockers Are Enhancing the Customer Experience by Transforming Last-Mile Logistics



The stay-at-home order put in place during lockdown meant buyers could not travel to stores with the same ease anymore. That, in turn, prompted yet another boost in online shopping. During peak periods, the numbers showed a whopping three quarters of Canadian consumers shopped online. This was when Smart Parcel Delivery Lockers started to become a critical improvement for online retailers.

With items from all aisles, from groceries to pet supplies, cleaning products and apparel, being sold online, the demand for easier and more convenient delivery systems has increased accordingly. Touchless Parcel Delivery Lockers fit the bill perfectly and, as such, are fulfilling this need across the country.

The traditional way of bringing items to buyers was direct delivery to their doors or mailrooms. But with the recent volume of products, the process became overwhelming, parcel theft was increasing and an alternative solution had to be found. This was especially important for sprawling communities and large suburbs where last-mile delivery could become expensive, less than efficient due to mis-delivery, or simply took too long. The solution? Intelligent Lockers in Vancouver, for example, which are virtually ubiquitous now – and the trend is rapidly spreading across Canada.

Explaining Touchless Parcel Delivery Lockers

Put in simple terms, they are the middle-ground solution between home delivery and in-store pickup. This solution is elegant and easy to implement. Parcels are delivered and stored in secure lockers situated in easy-to-reach locations. The buyers can access their parcels in the locker via a single-use code sent directly to their smartphones. Once a package is picked up from one of the Parcel Delivery Lockers, the compartment can then be used once again for the next parcel in line. A smart monitoring system tracks the status of each deposit and collection and new, secure access codes are generated for each and every delivery.

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 occur.  The

However, e-commerce is not completely risk free when it comes to keeping consumers safe.

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.
