Student Housing
Smart Package Management
Student housing communities consistently see the highest number of package deliveries. Add the “return to campus” effect in August and September, and traditional package storage spaces are busting at the seams. Staff spend countless hours accepting, logging, notifying, storing, and assisting with retrieval. Traditional rooms and even lockers are no match for this frenzy of deliveries.
The Smart Package Room® package management system, by Position Imaging, solves this problem entirely with the ability to securely store any type and size of package. The speed and ease of courier delivery leads to much better courier adoption. Laser guided resident pick up makes it easy and fast for students to find and pick up their packages. And it’s available 24 hours a day/7 days a week!
The Smart Package Room system proves to be the most efficient way to manage packages time and time again!
After we deliver packages into the room, the front desk staff’s job is complete. We do it quickly and we do it right. We know students will get their packages, so once the packages are in the room we don’t have to think about it!

How Smart Package Room® Works
STEP 1: A COURIER TAKES A PICTURE OF THE LABEL
Places the package on any shelf in the Smart Package Room where an intuitive computer system monitors the package 24/7 until retrieved by the recipient.
STEP 2: RECIPIENT IS NOTIFIED
Receives a picture of their package along with a QR code and PIN to enter the secured area anytime 24/7.
STEP 3: THE RESIDENT SCANS THE QR CODE
(or enters the PIN) to access the room where laser and audio cues guide the recipient to the package’s exact location.
