Spring Cleaning for Multifamily: Ensure Efficient Deliveries with Regular Audits

With the rise of e-commerce, communities are handling more packages than ever before. In fact, our data reveals that the average apartment complex receives between 50 to 100 packages per day, with that number surging even higher during peak shopping seasons. The global B2C ecommerce 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!

Conducting routine package audits is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to maintain order and improve efficiency in your community. Packages can pile up quickly, and when deliveries are misplaced, lost, or left unclaimed, frustration builds. Not only do residents become unhappy, but staff members also waste valuable time resolving these issues.

By implementing regular audits, your team can keep package areas organized, ensure prompt deliveries, and streamline overall management. Here’s how to make it an efficient and effective process:

Step 1: Establish a Package Audit Schedule

Scheduling consistent package audits is key to preventing clutter and confusion. We recommend performing audits weekly or biweekly to stay on top of deliveries. This proactive approach eliminates package pileups and ensures your storage area remains clear, organized, and easy to navigate.

Step 2: Categorize Deliveries for Easy Retrieval

Sort packages by factors like:

Delivery date
Building section or floor
Resident last name or unit number

This method allows staff to locate packages faster, reducing frustration for both employees and residents. A structured storage system also minimizes the risk of lost or forgotten deliveries.

Step 3: Train Staff in Thorough Audit Procedures

An efficient audit process depends on well-trained staff. Ensure your team understands your tracking software and follows standardized steps when conducting audits. Clear procedures will boost accountability and ensure consistent results.

If you’re utilizing a package management solution such as smart lockers or package rooms be sure to educate staff on how to review the system. When packages are delivered and picked up appropriately it’s easier for the system to send the correct notifications. Additionally, reviewing whether lockers are truly occupied can help ensure delivery optimization for carriers.

Step 4: Leverage Professional Support

If your team is stretched thin, bringing in additional support can save time and improve outcomes. Luxer Liaison, an exclusive service for Luxer One clients, offers dedicated on-site support to manage your community’s package volume. Our Liaisons:
