Quadient, a leader in helping businesses create meaningful customer connections through digital and physical channels, announced today the global launch of new compact and modular parcel lockers, designed to facilitate the roll-out and accelerate adoption of parcel locker delivery and automated pickup solutions in the retail and parcel carrier markets.  

The need for practical, light and easy-to-install parcel lockers is particularly high in the retail and carrier pick-up points markets, as they face booming click-and-collect parcel volumes as a result of the continuous growth of e-commerce, and more recently with the COVID-19 crisis creating more traction for safe delivery solutions. Quadient’s parcel locker solutions provide businesses with the tools to ensure business continuity, while optimizing staff time and meeting parcel management needs. However, while it is important that they remain agile and provide an enhanced experience for their customers, retail stores and carriers’ pick-up points do not necessarily have the space or the resources to manage parcel delivery and collection in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

The new Parcel Pending Lite solution aims at accelerating the adoption of parcel locker solutions by customers with smaller areas and lower volumes of parcels. With a compact modular design and an affordable cost, Parcel Pending Lite lockers can be easily installed in small shops handling a limited number of parcels on a daily basis. These businesses can then offer their customers the same modern, convenient and easy to use parcel pick-up service as large stores. The scalable design gives the capacity to start with the exact number of boxes needed to fit the parcel volumes and available space, a configuration that evolves as activity grows. The Parcel Pending Lite technology has also been designed to optimize the total cost of ownership, with an easy and quick set-up process as well as low maintenance costs.
