Southwood Realty Company Selects Packcity Parcel Lockers to Manage Increase in Parcel DeliveriesProShip, Inc., a Neopost company and leader in logistics software and supply chain solutions, announced today that Southwood Realty Company, a premier property management company servicing over 70 communities, has chosen Packcity Parcel Lockers to manage resident package deliveries. The parcel lockers, located at two of its properties, Haven at Enka and The Groves at Berry Creek, will allow Southwood Realty Company to save valuable time and money, while providing a convenient service to tenants. Packcity Intelligent Parcel Lockers are an automated electronic locker system that securely stores packages for easy consumer retrieval. Residents of Haven at Enka and The Groves at Berry Creek who purchase goods online and receive packages will now have a convenient click-and-collect retrieval system with 24/7 accessibility. Southwood Realty Company required a non-linear indoor parcel solution due to its lack of package storage with business intelligence reporting tools. ProShip partnered with Mike Briggs, drector of construction at Southwood Realty Company, to configure two angled 74-box parcel locker systems. The systems will provide industry-leading reporting to Southwood Realty Company's properties, while ensuring 100 percent secure package delivery to residents. The reporting capabilities include locker occupancy, pickup time detail and user reports. "We look forward to having a comprehensive package retrieval solution that frees up our staff from the time-consuming task of daily parcel management. Our residents will love our newest amenity, the Packcity Parcel Lockers, especially with its 24/7 secure package pickup," said Briggs. "As soon as I saw the Packcity Parcel Lockers at the National Apartment Association trade show, I knew it was the right solution for what we wanted to accomplish. Our current and prospective tenants receive an innovative convenience while we save time and reduce package handling hassles." "We are delighted to begin our partnership with Southwood Realty Company," said Gaven Rolfe, director of sales for Packcity Parcel Lockers. "Every year, the number of delivered parcels increases as online shopping continues to surge, growing 17 percent to 28 percent annually. Packcity Parcel Lockers are the perfect fit for any residential community and will provide a convenience for tenants while streamlining the sorting and distribution of packages."
