December 30, 2025

The Buy Online, Pick Up In Store (BOPIS) model has gone from “nice to have” to a cornerstone of modern retail fulfillment, driven by consumer demand for convenience, speed, and flexibility. As retailers scale omnichannel efforts, not all BOPIS solutions perform equally well. Enter rear loading lockers, a smart locker innovation that is reshaping how retailers fulfill pickup orders while improving the customer experience and operational efficiency.

Refrigerated Package Lockers & Their Benefit to Apartments

December 23, 2025

As grocery delivery, meal kits, and prescription drop-offs become part of everyday apartment living, package management is no longer just about boxes. Property teams are now responsible for time-sensitive, perishable deliveries that cannot sit in an office or hallway for hours.
That’s where refrigerated package lockers come in. Designed specifically to protect temperature-controlled items while maintaining secure access, refrigerated lockers help apartment communities reduce liability, streamline operations, and deliver a better resident experience. All while taking work off the onsite teams plates.
Below, we break down how refrigerated lockers work, why they matter, and how they fit into a modern package management strategy.

The Most Secure Way To Manage Package Delivery For Apartments

December 23, 2025

Package theft remains one of the most common and frustrating issues in multifamily communities. As online ordering continues to rise, property teams are under increasing pressure to protect resident deliveries while maintaining efficient operations.
So what is the most secure way to manage package delivery for apartments today?
While no system can eliminate theft entirely, automated package delivery solutions, specifically smart lockers and secure package rooms, offer the strongest combination of access control, visibility, and accountability available to apartment communities. When implemented correctly, these systems significantly reduce risk compared to unmanaged alternatives like office lobbies or doorstep delivery.
Below, we break down how these systems work, why they are more secure, and what properties should consider when evaluating package security.

The Benefits of AI-Powered Chat Bots for Customer Support

December 22, 2025

It’s no secret that customer support is a core part of the resident experience and a critical factor in how property teams manage their day-to-day workload. Residents expect fast answers. Property managers need reliable tools. And operators want partners who can support both without adding friction.
AI-powered chat bots are emerging as a practical and trustworthy first line of customer support. Not as a replacement for people, but as a way to ensure humans are available where they matter most.
From a proptech perspective, the conversation around AI has matured. The question is no longer whether AI belongs in customer support, but how it can be used responsibly, transparently, and effectively in multifamily environments.

How to Prepare Your Smart Lockers for the Cold Weather

December 17, 2025

Cold weather brings more than just resident complaints about icy sidewalks. Freezing temperatures, snow buildup, and moisture intrusion can quietly impact outdoor smart locker systems if they are not properly prepared. For property managers and on-site teams, winter readiness is less about emergency fixes and more about preventative care that keeps package operations running smoothly all season long.
Whether your lockers are fully outdoors or semi-exposed, taking a few proactive steps before temperatures drop can help protect hardware, reduce service disruptions, and extend the life of your system. Here is your practical guide to preparing smart lockers for cold weather.

The Future of PropTech in Multifamily: What Operators Need to Know Heading Into 2026

December 16, 2025

If there’s one word I’d use to describe the current state of proptech in multifamily, it’s this: cautious.
We are surrounded by technology. New platforms, new tools, new promises. And yet, adoption across the industry is still slower than many people expected. That doesn’t mean operators aren’t interested. It means they’re being thoughtful. They’re asking the right questions. And frankly, they’re navigating a lot of noise.
As we look toward 2026, I believe the future of proptech in multifamily will be defined less by flashy new tools and more by clarity, consolidation, infrastructure, and long-term flexibility. This is not about chasing trends. It’s about building a foundation that allows properties to adapt, scale, and deliver real value to both staff and residents.

How Third Party Delivery Drivers Use Smart Lockers

December 16, 2025

Third party delivery has become a permanent fixture in both retail and quick-service restaurants. As delivery volumes increase and customer expectations tighten, operations leaders are rethinking not just how orders are fulfilled, but how they are handed off. One of the most overlooked friction points in this process is the delivery driver pickup experience.
Smart lockers, originally designed for customer pickup, are increasingly being used as a reliable handoff point for third party delivery drivers. When implemented as part of a BOPIS strategy, smart lockers simplify pickup, reduce in-store congestion, and create a faster, more predictable workflow for everyone involved.

How To Write A Proposal To Get Smart Lockers Approved For Your Community

December 15, 2025

Getting smart lockers approved often has less to do with the technology itself and more to do with how the proposal is framed. Ownership groups, asset managers, and regional leaders are not looking for another amenity request. They are evaluating investments based on operational impact, cost control, and long-term value.
This guide walks through exactly how to write a proposal that speaks their language and positions smart lockers as a strategic improvement, not a nice-to-have.
