When the school year began in the fall of 2020, classes across Canada resumed with a litany of concessions and restrictions in place. Depending on the province or district, there were caps on class sizes and limited or restricted attendance in shared spaces such as libraries and cafeterias. Some schools modified existing locker areas to enforce physical distancing, while others banned locker use altogether. However it has played out, students will always need a safe and secure place to store their belongings, and electronic school locker storage solutions are proving to be the safest solution.

The worldwide pandemic has brought about a surge of online shoppers. Along with that comes an influx of package theft in Canada. In fact, this report by Global TV states that “last year, our survey found one in four Canadians were victims of a package theft at their door. This year, that’s up to 33 per cent, or roughly one in three of our respondents.” For retailers struggling to stay afloat, lost or damaged packages can lead to poor customer reviews, and that ultimately affects the store’s bottom line. Retailers need smart parcel management solutions to deter thefts and increase customer satisfaction. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas of 2020, U.S. carriers reported a potential delivery shortage of approximately seven million packages every day. This “shipageddon” was caused by the sheer magnitude of packages bought online with promises of home delivery in time for the holidays. Continue Reading to source for more information.

Parcel Lockers: the New Essential Amenity

Living in the age of convenience has brought significant changes to the “must-haves” of each generation and every new technical era. Just a few generations ago, many homebuyers had a wish list that included amenities such as indoor plumbing. In the 1960s, convenience meant built-in appliances and attached garages. The 1990s saw the onset of energy-efficient utilities and appliances. And today, a homeowner’s “must-have” list is sure to include smart technology at the top of the list. For this reason, developers are turning to parcel lockers for condos to meet this new demand for convenience.
