Parcel Pending by Quadient announced that Ohio University has installed its automated locker systems at three student mail centers on campus to provide a contactless, secure and convenient way for students and faculty to retrieve their mail and packages during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Prior to installing the smart lockers, Ohio Unversity’s mailroom staff hand-delivered mail or other items to faculty at various campus locations. Many items, such as certified mail and library materials, required the recipient’s signature. Often, more than one delivery attempt was required to obtain the signature. With Parcel Pending by Quadient’s integrated tracking system, drop-offs and pick-ups are automatically logged. By eliminating extra delivery trips and the need for human-to-human contact, the Parcel Pending by Quadient distribution system has supported safety measures during the health crisis, as well as reduced delivery time by up to an hour per day. Electronic smart lockers provide easy-to-use interfaces for users to track assets and notify recipients of delivery in real-time. Drop-off and pick-up takes seconds, and smart locker stations can be accessed 24/7 for convenient self-service pick-up.
