Parcel lockers

Consumers expect a whole lot more from their parcel management system, such as real-time notifications, access via their smartphone, and even the option to leave items in their locker for collection and return.

With that in mind, Canadian companies looking for a parcel locker or room supplier in Canada are faced with a number of factors to consider. If you’re looking to choose a resident delivery management solution that can deliver the service people want and expect in 2021 and beyond, read on for what you need to know.
