Background

A modern apartment complex in downtown Toronto, known for its upscale amenities and high tenant satisfaction, began facing a significant problem: package theft. With the rise of online shopping, tenants received multiple packages daily, often delivered when they were not at home. The building management received numerous complaints about missing packages, which led to frustration and dissatisfaction among residents.

The Problem

The building had a designated package area where delivery personnel would leave packages. However, this area was accessible to all tenants and visitors, making it an easy target for theft. The problem escalated during peak delivery seasons, like the holidays, causing a surge in complaints and a decline in tenant satisfaction.

The Solution: Expedibox Smart Parcel Lockers

In search of a solution, the building management team turned to Expedibox, a leading smart parcel locker company in Canada. Expedibox provided a comprehensive system of secure, easy-to-use smart lockers designed to safeguard delivered packages.

Implementation

1. Installation of Smart Lockers: Expedibox installed a series of smart lockers in the lobby area, conveniently located near the building entrance. The installation process was quick and efficient, causing minimal disruption to the daily operations of the building.
2. Integration with Delivery Services: Expedibox collaborated with major delivery services to ensure seamless integration. Delivery personnel were trained to use the smart lockers, ensuring that they could efficiently store packages in the lockers.
3. User Training and Support: Expedibox provided training sessions and instructional materials for tenants, ensuring they understood how to use the lockers. A dedicated support team was available to address any issues or questions.
