ROI of Order Pickup Smart Lockers at Big Box Retailer

A significant percentage of today’s would-be retail customers are reluctant to go to their favorite store due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But many of America’s savviest retailers are adapting by deploying smart lockers, a new tool providing the security of contact-free pick-up and an enhanced financial forecast. Learn about the ROI of BOPIS smart locker solutions for the retail industry.

These modular lockers are the latest innovation in the buy-online-pickup-in-store (BOPIS) business model, offering retail customers comfortable and convenient 24-hour, no-contact, self-service retrieval and return access using superior technology.

“Smart lockers benefit both the customer and the retailer,” say Arik Levy, Founder and CEO of Luxer One, a pioneer in the smart locker industry. “For the customer, it means fast, safe and secure pick-up and return processes that can be done without contact. For the retailer, smart lockers pave the way to a better bottom line due to reduced labor costs; and the technological upgrade allows them to compete in a similar arena with online giants like Amazon.”

A new commissioned study by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Luxer One, conducted on one the country’s largest home improvement retailer, confirms the cost-benefits of a smart locker system. The Total Economic Impact (TEI) study reveals store-based lockers are directly responsible for a total internal labor savings of $57.6 million. That is $.90 cost savings per order based on a $15/hour wage. However, the ROI on BOPIS lockers goes beyond monetary-savings!

The study also indicates these lockers have a positive impact upon customer satisfaction in multiple ways. First, locker users are five percent happier than their counterparts forced to stand in line at a customer service desk. Second, the mere presence of these lockers improves a store’s image with all customers.

Happier customers are likely to spend more, and Forrester Consulting data estimates the retailer studied will enjoy an additional $14 million due directly to this increase in customer satisfaction marking a remarkable return on investment.

Managing packages in multi-tenant office buildings has become one of the most overlooked operational challenges for building managers and owners. With hybrid work patterns reshaping how space is used and surging delivery expectations from tenants and employees alike, traditional manual processes are simply not keeping pace.

Luxer Liaison: A Familiar Face & Trusted Community Partner

A Familiar Face: How Luxer Liaison Adds a Human Touch to Package Management

Modern package management systems have transformed how communities handle deliveries. Smart lockers and centralized package rooms bring security, organization, and automation to an increasingly complex last-mile environment. But at larger communities, technology alone isn’t always enough to deliver the experience residents and onsite teams expect.
That’s where expert support for package management systems makes a meaningful difference.
At many Luxer One communities, that difference comes in the form of a familiar, trusted face. For one property, that person is Val: a Luxer Liaison whose presence has helped turn an already strong package system into a smoother, more human-centered experience.

The Growing Demand for Package Management in Multifamily Communities

The demand for package management has been steadily rising for years, but over the past twelve months, it has shifted from a convenience issue to an operational imperative. For property managers, owners, and developers alike, package volume is no longer a temporary side effect of peak ecommerce seasons. It is a permanent fixture of modern multifamily living.
Residents expect fast, secure delivery. Carriers expect efficient drop-off. On-site teams are expected to keep everything moving without adding labor or liability. As ecommerce behavior continues to evolve and staffing pressures remain tight, communities are being forced to rethink how they manage last-mile delivery at scale.
This is where multifamily package management solutions have moved from “nice-to-have” amenities to core infrastructure.

Value Messaging Is the Key to Preventing Long-Term Concessions in Multifamily

Concessions have become a familiar fixture across the multifamily landscape. As operators move through 2026, the question is no longer whether incentives belong in the leasing toolbox, but how to use them without sacrificing long-term revenue performance. This is where value messaging plays a critical role.
When concessions are paired with clear, consistent value messaging, they can support occupancy without resetting renter expectations. When they are not, they risk becoming a long-term drag on effective rents, renewals, and overall NOI. In today’s market, preventing long-term concessions is less about eliminating discounts altogether and more about ensuring price is never the only thing prospects remember.
