Parcel Locker Solutions for Canadian Multifamily Communities

May 15, 2026

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.

Resident Retention Starts With Reliable Multifamily Partners

May 8, 2026

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.

University mailrooms are under more pressure than ever.

The Hidden Cost of Off-Site Package Models

April 30, 2026

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.

The Middleman Problem: Why More Delivery Logistics Creates More Problems

April 21, 2026

On paper, adding more steps to a delivery process can sound like progress. More coordination, more handling, and more structure.
But in reality, more logistics often leads to more problems.
This is the core issue facing today’s multifamily delivery logistics strategies. In an effort to manage growing package volume, many systems have introduced additional layers between the carrier and the resident.
And while those layers are meant to help, they often create the opposite effect.
Because every extra step is another opportunity for something to go off track.

The Global Shift Toward Smart Lockers: Why Automated Delivery Is Becoming the Backbone of Last Mile Logistics

December 9, 2025

For more than fifteen years, I have worked with locker networks across Europe and beyond, and have seen firsthand how quickly delivery systems can transform when economic pressure meets technological readiness. Today, the global last mile is approaching that same kind of tipping point. Parcel volumes are still rising, labor is becoming more expensive and harder to find, and urban security issues continue to grow. All of this is putting the traditional door to door model under unprecedented strain.
What comes next is not a mystery. It is already unfolding around the world. Smart lockers are becoming essential infrastructure for modern delivery, not a niche add on. In several countries, this shift is already well underway. In others, it is just beginning. But everywhere, the direction is clear.
The next decade of delivery will not be defined by faster vans or more expensive convenience. It will be defined by smarter, more efficient systems that allow carriers, retailers, and consumers to regain control of the last mile.
Smart lockers will be at the center of that shift.

Rethinking the Last Mile: Understanding the Final Step in Hospitality and Retail

November 25, 2025

Last-mile delivery refers to the movement of goods from a local distribution hub to their end destination, often a customer, guest, or employee. It’s where logistics meets real-world experience, and in commercial environments, it’s no longer just about speed, it’s about reliability, security, and service.

In this blog, we explore how the last mile shows up in three major verticals: hotels, retail, and quick-service restaurants (QSRs).
