Universities Face Issues with Student’s Mail & Package Delivery
Student mail services can seem like a daunting task, with long lines of students waiting to pick up packages and check on their deliveries, while stressed-out staff attempt to sort through piles of packages.

It’s time for an upgrade! By taking advantage of modern technology and automation, your campus mail center can become a much more effective operation with smoother workflow processes.

This presents its own challenges: limited space leads to disorganization as boxes pile up and wait times lengthen. Your school is one of many striving for modernized yet safe campus mail solutions; let us help make it happen now!
How a Campus Can Optimize Mailroom Storage
Move-in day across college campuses is a much different experience than in past years, with students packing their cars to the brim and hauling everything they need for the upcoming school year. Thanks to the power of online shopping and delivery services, university mailrooms are now facing an influx of packages that can cause long lines and stress on staff members.
Fortunately, universities are turning to modern solutions designed for convenience and efficiency — such as parcel lockers or Intelligent Lockers — to make getting packages into student hands faster and easier.
With these systems, packages can be delivered to centralized locations within campus or near where students live. Once scanned, packages are placed in an individual Intelligent Locker which locks automatically afterwards. An email or text message with a unique one-time use access code is sent out so that students can quickly retrieve their package at their own leisure.
Intelligent Lockers offer universities a smarter way of delivering packages while cutting down on waiting times and relieving pressure from mailroom staff – making move-in day more efficient for all!
Data & Analytics
Reporting can track locker utilizations and turnover, enabling the identification of areas where packages tend to get stalled. This knowledge helps determine whether lockers need relocation or if capacity should be adjusted, all aimed at providing incredible student experiences.

Increasing Storage Capacity
A Spacesaver ActivRAC® Mobilized Storage System forms the core of the new proposed room layout. Spacesaver can help a university save money by using the mailroom’s existing heavy-duty shelving and mounting it on ActivRAC “carriages” that move along rails to eliminate wasted space in the aisles. Ergonomic handles allow staff to open aisles at the point of need, and mechanical-assist handles allow staff to move thousands of pounds with minimal effort.
The ActivRAC system will increase the mailroom’s storage capacity, improve organization and efficiency, improve customer service, and boost staff morale. Staff can do their work safely and more efficiently, and customer wait times will dramatically decrease.
University mailrooms encounter numerous challenges. First and foremost, students frequently arrive late to collect their packages. Subsequently, long waiting lines contribute to the issue. Furthermore, a surge in the volume of packages and mail occurs at the commencement of terms and during the holiday season. The ultimate challenge faced by these mailrooms is the constraint on storage space. Neglecting to secure packages by mailroom employees raises the risk of potential damage or theft, a concern that no college would want to contend with.
Spacesaver Storage Solutions can provide your university with mail services lockers. Students can retrieve their mail without causing any more issues. The locker system simplifies delivery by allowing students to decide the date and time of pick up. The lockers help increase the package delivery to the students. They can also decrease the amount of employees to deliver packages,and increase customer satisfaction.
