Student mail services can seem like a daunting task, with long lines of students waiting to pick up packages and check on their deliveries, while stressed-out staff attempt to sort through piles of packages. It’s clear that college mailroom personnel carry out some invaluable and difficult work at universities. We understand the challenge you face, and we’re here to help make it easier!
It’s time for an upgrade! By taking advantage of modern technology and automation, your campus mail center can become a much more effective operation with smoother workflow processes. Unfortunately, other initiatives like admissions or learning innovation tend to take priority over your campus mail center—but no longer!
As online shopping has grown in popularity, so have the piles of shipments sent from retailers directly to student dorms. This presents its own challenges: limited space leads to disorganization as boxes pile up and wait times lengthen. Your school is one of many striving for modernized yet safe campus mail solutions; let us help make it happen now!
Move-in day across college campuses is a much different experience than in past years, with students packing their cars to the brim and hauling everything they need for the upcoming school year. Thanks to the power of online shopping and delivery services, university mailrooms are now facing an influx of packages that can cause long lines and stress on staff members.
Fortunately, universities are turning to modern solutions designed for convenience and efficiency — such as parcel lockers or Intelligent Lockers — to make getting packages into student hands faster and easier.
With these systems, packages can be delivered to centralized locations within campus or near where students live. Once scanned, packages are placed in an individual Intelligent Locker which locks automatically afterwards. An email or text message with a unique one-time use access code is sent out so that students can quickly retrieve their package at their own leisure.
Intelligent Lockers offer universities a smarter way of delivering packages while cutting down on waiting times and relieving pressure from mailroom staff – making move-in day more efficient for all!
Reporting can track locker utilizations and turnover, enabling the identification of areas where packages tend to get stalled. This knowledge helps determine whether lockers need relocation or if capacity should be adjusted, all aimed at providing incredible student experiences.
We offer different materials that are both clean and durable for indoor or outdoor use. Easily add graphics and signage to brand the lockers. Our lockers come with a lifetime warranty.
Saved Money by using Existing Shelving
Improved Efficiency
Increased Storage Capacity with Mobile Shelves
Improved Morale and Customer Service
A Spacesaver ActivRAC® Mobilized Storage System forms the core of the new proposed room layout. Spacesaver can help a university save money by using the mailroom’s existing heavy-duty shelving and mounting it on ActivRAC “carriages” that move along rails to eliminate wasted space in the aisles. Ergonomic handles allow staff to open aisles at the point of need, and mechanical-assist handles allow staff to move thousands of pounds with minimal effort.
The ActivRAC system will increase the mailroom’s storage capacity, improve organization and efficiency, improve customer service, and boost staff morale. Staff can do their work safely and more efficiently, and customer wait times will dramatically decrease.
University mailrooms encounter numerous challenges. First and foremost, students frequently arrive late to collect their packages. Subsequently, long waiting lines contribute to the issue. Furthermore, a surge in the volume of packages and mail occurs at the commencement of terms and during the holiday season. The ultimate challenge faced by these mailrooms is the constraint on storage space. Neglecting to secure packages by mailroom employees raises the risk of potential damage or theft, a concern that no college would want to contend with.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions can provide your university with mail services lockers. Students can retrieve their mail without causing any more issues. The locker system simplifies delivery by allowing students to decide the date and time of pick up. The lockers help increase the package delivery to the students. They can also decrease the amount of employees to deliver packages,and increase customer satisfaction.
A university mailroom package locker system provides a secure and convenient way for students to receive packages without waiting in line at a traditional campus mail center. Mailroom staff place each package into a designated smart locker, and the student receives a notification with instructions for retrieving it.
The process is simple. Mailroom staff receive and process a student's package, place it into an available locker, and the system sends the student a text or email notification with the locker location and a unique access code. The student can then visit the locker bank, enter the code, and retrieve the package.
Package lockers can reduce lines, simplify package distribution, improve organization, and give students more flexibility when picking up deliveries. They can also reduce the amount of time mailroom employees spend locating and handing packages directly to students, allowing staff to focus on other important tasks.
