Luxens on the Rise: Employee Highlight | Ashley Blakely

Our Luxens on the Rise series highlights team members who have carved their own paths within the company, taking on new challenges and evolving their careers along the way.

This month, we’re featuring Ashley, whose journey is a great example of how growth can happen within a role. She’s taken on greater responsibilities and alongside her work in Technical Support, she also plays a key role in supporting Customer Success.

Start date: December 2017
Starting Role: Residential Support Representative
Current Role: Technical Product Manager

What did you do as residential support rep?

What does being a Technical Support Manager II entail?

I focus on keeping our locker systems running smoothly, our customers happy, and my team performing at a high level.

I lead a team of 8–10 reps, own uptime, and make sure we’re hitting our SLAs and performance goals. But in reality, it’s a mix of troubleshooting, coaching, and staying ahead of issues before they become bigger problems.

No two days are the same. One minute I’m solving a technical issue, the next I’m improving processes or supporting my team. At the end of the day, it’s all about keeping systems online, customers confident, and the team winning

What motivated you to pursue growth within the company?

What motivated me to pursue growth within the company was the opportunities I was given early on. The company was growing quickly, and that created a lot of room to step up, take on more responsibility, and continue developing. I saw that and took the initiative to step up and do more.

What really stood out to me is the investment they make in their people. I’m currently in school, and the company supports that through tuition assistance, which shows they genuinely care about long-term growth. That level of support, combined with how fast things are moving, made it an easy decision to keep growing here.

What advice would you give to someone at Luxer One who wants to move up in the company?

Learn as much as you can about the lockers and how everything works end to end. Take time to meet with different departments and understand how they operate, because that bigger picture will help you make better decisions. Be proactive, don’t wait to be asked. Step up, take ownership, and look for ways to solve problems or improve processes.

Continue to invest in yourself both personally and professionally, whether that’s training, school, or learning new skills. Most importantly, be consistent and reliable. When people know they can count on you, more opportunities will naturally come your way.

Continue to invest in yourself both personally and professionally, whether that’s training, school, or learning new skills."

Is there anything people would be surprised to learn about you?

I think people would be surprised to know that I have a son heading to college for the 2026–2027 school year!

We love Bagel Tuesday around here- what’s your go-to order?

My go-to bagel is a cinnamon bagel with cinnamon sugar butter.

Ashley’s journey is a great example of how growth at Luxer One can come from deepening your impact within a role.

Parcel Locker Solutions for Canadian Multifamily Communities

Canadian multifamily communities are experiencing a major shift in parcel management. As online shopping continues to grow and resident expectations rise, developers and operators are under increasing pressure to modernize how deliveries are handled.
That is why more properties are investing in parcel locker solutions that improve security, simplify parcel management, and create a better resident experience.
According to recent research from Mordor Intelligence, the Canadian courier, express, and parcel market is projected to grow to more than USD $20 billion by 2031, driven largely by continued eCommerce growth and increasing delivery demand. For multifamily operators, that means parcel volume is not slowing down anytime soon.

Boost Resident Retention with Reliable Partners

Resident Retention Starts With Reliable Multifamily Partners

Resident retention has become one of the most important metrics in multifamily housing and one of the hardest to maintain. Today’s residents expect convenience, consistency, and responsive service across every touchpoint of their living experience. When operations fall short, frustration builds quickly.
That’s why more property and regional managers are reevaluating not just the amenities they offer, but the multifamily technology partners behind them.
Reliable partners don’t just help properties run smoothly. They directly support resident satisfaction, operational consistency, and long-term asset value.

What Is the Best Way to Manage Packages in a University Mailroom?

University mailrooms are under more pressure than ever. As online shopping continues to grow, campuses are receiving an unprecedented volume of packages each day, often without the staffing or storage space to keep up. For many universities, the question is no longer whether a new system is needed, it’s what is the best system to use?

The Hidden Cost of Off-Site Package Models

At first glance, some package management solutions seem like a win for property teams. They promise fewer packages on-site, less clutter, and less day-to-day handling.
But what looks convenient on the surface often comes with hidden tradeoffs. While these models may reduce visibility on the property, they do not eliminate the problem. They shift it somewhere else.
And in many cases, they shift it directly onto residents.
