The Growing Demand for Package Management Solutions in Multifamily Communities

The global B2C e-commerce market reached $4.8 trillion in 2023 and is expected to grow to $9 trillion by 2032. A growth rate of 7% is anticipated over the next 3 years alone! With the surge in e-commerce, multifamily properties are facing unprecedented challenges in package management.

From daily deliveries to seasonal peaks, property managers need innovative solutions to meet residents’ expectations and reduce operational burdens.

The Multifamily Package Problem

Online shopping continues to grow, with more residents expecting seamless delivery and storage options. During peak periods—like the holiday season—property managers can be overwhelmed by the volume of incoming packages, creating bottlenecks in traditional storage areas.

According to industry insights, nearly half of holiday shoppers now make most of their purchases online, intensifying the need for effective package management at residential properties.

Traditional approaches, such as leaving packages with leasing offices, are no longer sustainable. Staffing constraints and limited storage capacity can lead to delays, misplaced deliveries, and frustrated residents—impacting retention and property reputation.
