How Outdoor Smart Lockers Keep Deliveries Safe & Secure for Your Community

As spring blossoms, the familiar adage “April showers bring May flowers” reminds us of the season’s unpredictable weather. For multifamily communities, this means increased challenges in protecting residents’ packages from both the elements and opportunistic thieves.

Weather Causes a Growing Concern for Package Safety

In April 2024, vast regions of the U.S. experienced above-average precipitation, with Indiana and Pennsylvania recording their fifth-wettest Aprils on record. Such conditions not only disrupt daily life but also pose risks to unattended packages, leading to potential water damage and delivery delays.

In fact, 2024 witnessed a surge in severe weather events, with 27 separate billion-dollar disasters, including tornadoes and storms, causing widespread damage. These events underscore the importance of safeguarding your community and offering solutions to protect your residents’ belongings, including deliveries!

The Escalating Issue of Package Theft

Weather is not the only ongoing threat to package protection. In 2024, approximately 91.9 million packages were stolen across the U.S., resulting in losses totaling nearly $16 billion. New York City topped the list with over 9 million packages stolen while cities like Charlotte, Atlanta, Dallas, and Boston all reported between about 1.2 million incidents. Porch pirates are not just an issue for big cities and theft only continues to increase.

Traditional deterrents, such as security cameras, often fall short, especially when packages are left exposed on doorsteps or in poorly protected areas. This reality emphasizes the need for more secure delivery solutions.

Secured Deliveries with Outdoor Smart Lockers

With a mountain of uncertainties all around us, it’s more important than ever to offer your residents services and amenities that give them peace of mind.

How to Solve Carrier Compliance Issues for Multifamily Deliveries

It’s no secret that multifamily communities are seeing more package deliveries than ever before. With that surge comes an equally pressing challenge with carrier compliance. Ensuring that delivery drivers properly use the property’s package management system can feel like an uphill battle. When deliveries bypass the process, whether due to skipped scans, incorrect locker use, or packages left outside secure areas, property teams are left to pick up the slack. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Beyond the Package Room: The Versatility of Smart Lockers

When people think of smart lockers, they often imagine them in residential buildings, outside retail stores, or in other convenient places to pick up packages or online orders. But smart locker technology has grown far beyond those original use cases. Today, organizations in public-facing industries are discovering that lockers are a flexible, secure, and efficient way to streamline service delivery across a wide range of environments.

How to Choose a Package Management Vendor That Won’t Disappear on You

Choosing the right package management vendor isn’t just a purchasing decision, it’s a long-term investment in resident experience, staff efficiency, and operational success. Unfortunately, too many properties have learned the hard way that not every vendor is built to last.
From non-existent support to unexpected fees and system failures, unreliable partners don’t just cost you time but resident trust. As package delivery volume continues to grow and residents expect faster, smarter service, the risk of choosing the wrong vendor gets even more expensive.
So how do you identify the partners who will still be showing up for your team years after install?
