On-site Package Management White Paper for Apartments & Student Housing
“The Real Cost of Free Package Management” — what in-house package handling actually costs your community, and how managed package rooms and smart lockers change the math.
Free assessment. No pressure.
Why “free” package management is the most expensive option
Most communities never budgeted for package handling. It arrived one parcel at a time until the leasing office was running an unpaid distribution center: receiving carriers, logging deliveries, answering “is my package here?” forty times a week, and absorbing the chargebacks when something goes missing.
This white paper puts a number on that. It benchmarks package volume growth in multifamily and student housing, breaks down where onsite hours actually go, compares smart lockers against a managed package room, and gives you an interactive calculator so you can price your own community instead of a national average.

How parcels per unit per day have climbed, and what move-in and holiday peaks do to a room that was sized for an average week.
The real onsite workload
Where the hours go — carrier receiving, logging, notifications, pickup interruptions, chargeback disputes, and aged-parcel cleanup.
