Pick-up points

Pick-up points in homeowners' communities

Pick-up points: the new addition for homeowners' associations that allows them to receive parcels at home without having to be at home.

Absence from home when it comes to receiving parcels is increasing the installation of pick-up points among homeowners' associations.

The delivery man arrives, rings the phone and surprise... no one answers. He calls you on the phone and you say that you will not be home until the evening, and that if you can leave the package with your 3rd floor neighbor who is very nice. Who has not experienced this situation?

Thousands of Last Mile packages are managed with one main objective: to be successfully delivered. However, 25% of these deliveries are unsuccessful, which is an inconvenience for both the recipient and the parcel delivery company, as well as having a major environmental impact.

Online shopping

We are at a time when the volume of online shopping has historically surpassed the levels of previous periods. The fear of shopping in e-commerces or ordering from home has almost disappeared. This leads to people receiving parcels on a frequent, even daily basis. In large communities of neighbors, it is often the doorman who receives the parcels when the addressees are absent from home.

Doormen are faced with the massive management of parcels that they often cannot cope with, while in communities that do not have this service, some neighbors are the ones who end up receiving deliveries belonging to their co-neighbors. The most common thing is that after a failed delivery attempt, the delivery manager reschedules the delivery for another time.

Faced with this frequent occurrence in the daily lives of users, there is the possibility of creating collection points for the reception of parcels.

More and more homeowners' associations are asking their property managers for a solution to improve the reception of parcels, such as the implementation of collection points based on Smart Lockers.

Smart Lockers act as automated parcel delivery and pickup points, where every neighbor can access a pickup for convenience.

These intelligent systems are fully adaptable to the needs of each community of owners. The Smart Locker is fully adaptable to the average volume of deliveries received per community, and to the location where it would be installed: outdoor* or indoor.

Benefits of a community of owners with Smart Lockers:

• Greater peace of mind and work-life balance: enjoy your day-to-day life without having to worry about when your order will arrive. Your package waits for you and not the other way around.
• 100% insured deliveries: your online purchases or incoming packages will be delivered with total security on the first delivery attempt.
• Helps to reduce the Carbon Footprint: the use of Smart Lockers achieves a significant reduction of CO2 emissions from online shopping.

We leave you an interview of Fynkus to our CEO Albert Bladas, where he talks about how Smart Lockers are integrated into the homeowners' communities to meet the challenge of receiving parcels and improve the quality of life of people:
