Parcel Pending by Quadient Partners with Canon Solutions America to Provide Smart Locker and Tracking Software Platform for Seamless, Contactless Retrieval of Packages, Mail and Other Goods
Parcel Pending by Quadient, North America's leading provider of smart locker solutions for commercial, university, retail and multifamily properties, and Canon Solutions America Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A. Inc., are continuing to help college and corporate campuses streamline their package management needs with an innovative smart locker and tracking software platform that allows for quick, convenient and contactless retrieval of packages, mail and other items. Parcel Pending by Quadient and Canon Solutions America have worked with a number of universities and corporate properties across the U.S. to reduce rotation rate - the amount of time packages would sit on shelves - by an average of 85%.
Parcel Pending's automated, electronic locker system is a convenient solution for goods receiving and distribution across universities and corporate campuses. The proprietary tracking software enables users to track parcels and notify recipients of delivery in real-time. In addition, Parcel Pending's smart lockers are customizable and scalable to adhere to the specific space requirements and needs of each individual organization. Institutions can add their logo to the lockers for a personalized touch. Moreover, Canon Solutions America can also provide a tailored integration to match any organization's specific requirements. Utilizing the web portal, users have full visibility into locker use, dashboard personalization, and Business Intelligence (BI) reporting.
"Parcel Pending by Quadient is a trusted and valued partner that continues to innovate," said Peter P. Kowalczuk, president, Canon Solutions America. "We're excited about their recently announced Campus Hub solution and look forward to leveraging their expertise to help us continue to elevate our professional service offerings during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond."
"Parcel Pending by Quadient's smart locker platform and embedded tracking software can be used as a distribution hub for not only packages but also mail, IT assets like laptops, university bookstore pick-ups and returns, library books and other items," said David Janes, channel manager, Parcel Locker Solutions at Quadient. "By utilizing a Campus Hub concept, colleges and universities are proactively keeping students, staff and faculty safe by minimizing touchpoints and providing a contactless experience. All goods and assets are accounted for and tracked via a full chain-of-custody."
"With package volume at an all-time high, we trust that Parcel Pending by Quadient will help our commercial and university customers provide a seamless, contactless package management experience," continued Kowalczuk.
"It's been amazing working with Canon Solutions America's over the last year. Their corporate commitment directly aligns with ours to ensure that college and corporate campuses have safe, efficient and even revenue-generating smart locker systems," continued Janes.
