ParcelPort Residential Case Study
Parcel Logistics Done Right
The number of deliveries to residential associations has increased considerably in the past two years with no signs of slowing down. For condominium buildings, this means increased delivery driver foot traffic and staff hours tied up in parcel management. For HOAs, more delivery trucks are making more stops, which is both environmentally unfriendly and potentially dangerous for residents.
At ParcelPort, we understand the challenges associations face everyday. We design and manage the building of our software and hardware, giving you the flexibility you need to meet the challenges of your association. From turn-key, ready to install lockers to a fully customized solution, we have you covered.Â
