How Rear Loading Lockers Revolutionizing the Retail Industry

The NRF 2023 Retail’s Big Show, held on January 17-19, was a major event for the retail industry. The conference brought together retailers, technology companies, and industry experts to share insights and discuss the latest trends in retail.

One of the main takeaways from the keynote and other presentations was the continued importance of technology in the retail industry. Many speakers emphasized the need for retailers to embrace new technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and virtual reality in order to stay competitive.

Another major theme was the importance of personalization and customization in the retail experience, with many companies highlighting their efforts to use data and technology to create more personalized shopping experiences for customers.

One of our key takeaways was the emphasis on sustainability and corporate social responsibility in the retail industry. Many retailers are taking steps to reduce their environmental impact, and to use their platforms to promote social and political causes.

Luxer One smart lockers are designed with sustainability in mind. The lockers are constructed using recycled steel, which helps to reduce the environmental impact of the manufacturing process. Additionally, the lockers are made in the USA, which reduces the carbon footprint associated with importing materials from other countries. Luxer One lockers also contribute to LEED certification for architects and new building design.

The lockers have been designed to meet the highest standards of energy efficiency and environmental performance, making them an ideal choice for projects that are looking to achieve LEED certification. This not only makes them an eco-friendly option for retailers but also for the entire building.

The NRF expo typically attracts a wide range of attendees, including retailers of all sizes, technology companies, and industry experts. Attendees come from a variety of backgrounds, including brick-and-mortar retailers, e-commerce businesses, and retailers who operate in both channels.

Luxer One exhibited at NRF 2023 Retail’s Big Show, where we showcased our innovative smart locker solutions, including the industry’s first ever rear loading locker, and discussed how retailers can use its technology to improve customer experience, increase efficiency, and drive sales. Luxer One also highlighted its new partnership with BRGHTLY, an innovative retail technology company that revolutionizes the smart locker market with the Halo System. The system enables retailers to monetize their lockers by featuring top supplier brands’ advertisements and drive sales, increase brand awareness and use the lockers as a revenue stream.

Looking forward to 2023, the retail industry is expected to continue to evolve and adapt to changing consumer behaviors and technologies. Many experts predict that e-commerce will continue to grow in popularity, with more and more consumers turning to online shopping for convenience and flexibility.

At the same time, retailers will need to find ways to leverage technology to create unique and personalized shopping experiences for customers in-store and online. Additionally, the focus on sustainability and corporate social responsibility is expected to continue to be a major trend in the retail industry.

How Retailers Can Make the Buy-Online, Pick-Up-In-Store Process Easier

When shoppers place orders online and pick them up in a store, it’s called Buy-Online, Pick-Up-In-Store (BOPIS). This hybrid fulfillment model blends the convenience of e-commerce with the immediacy of brick-and-mortar shopping.
As retailers continue to compete on speed, accuracy and seamless experience, being able to make the BOPIS process easier is increasingly a strategic differentiator. For forward-looking retailers, adopting advanced fulfillment infrastructure such as smart lockers and dedicated pickup solutions isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s a necessity.
In this post we’ll explore key questions decision-makers face and why smart lockers are the BOPIS solutions retailers are turning to these days.

What is Multi-Package Delivery & Why is it Important?

In today’s multifamily communities, the number of deliveries arriving daily has never been higher. Between Amazon, UPS, FedEx, USPS, and local couriers, residents often receive multiple packages from different carriers in a single day. For property managers, that creates both a logistical challenge and an opportunity for smarter operations.
That’s where multi-package delivery comes in: a first-of-its-kind feature introduced by Luxer One, and still the only true solution of its kind in the industry today. This innovative technology allows carriers to deliver multiple packages for the same resident into a single locker, regardless of carrier. It’s a small change with a big impact: simplified deliveries, optimized locker usage, and a faster, more seamless resident experience.

What is the Luxer One Property Dashboard?

Managing modern multifamily communities is no small task. Between resident expectations, delivery volume, and day-to-day logistics, property teams need tools that simplify their world. That’s where the Luxer One Property Dashboard comes in.
Think of it as the central command center for your community’s package management system. Designed with building managers in mind, the dashboard gives you a complete, real-time view of your Luxer One systems across all locations. It’s your one-stop hub for tracking activity, managing support, and optimizing performance, all from a single login.

Celebrating 500 Million Deliveries: A Milestone in Smart Package Management

This month, Luxer One proudly celebrated its 500 millionth delivery, marking a defining moment in our journey to transform how the world receives packages. What began over two decades ago as a mission to simplify last-mile delivery has grown into a nationwide network serving more than 15,000 locations and 11.5 million users. Half a billion successful deliveries later, we’re only getting started!

Black Friday for Multifamily: How Property Managers Can Prepare

Black Friday may only last a day, but its ripple effects on multifamily communities can last for weeks. Not to mention the rise of Cyber Week following this yearly event. As online spending continues to rise, property and regional managers across the U.S. are already bracing for a new surge in package deliveries that will test every part of their operations.
According to Adobe Analytics, U.S. shoppers spent $10.8 billion online on Black Friday 2024, a 10.2% increase year over year. That number is projected to climb even higher in 2025 as retailers start promotions earlier than ever. In fact, 37% of consumers say they now expect holiday sales to begin before Halloween (Sinch, 2025). For multifamily teams, that means the “holiday package season” now stretches from late October through New Year’s.
