The importance of a parcel machine in modern apartment complexes
Parcel machines are now an indispensable part of modern apartment complexes. More and more residents find it important that they can receive their online orders safely and easily, without having to stay at home or go to a post office. As a VvE, project developer or architect, it is therefore important to take into account the wishes of modern residents and to include a parcel machine in the design of the complex.
Why residents find a parcel locker important
A parcel machine offers various advantages for residents of an apartment complex. This way they can pick up their packages at any time of the day, without having to be at home. The parcel machine offers a safe and closed place where parcels are delivered and stored until the recipient collects them. As a result, residents no longer have to coordinate with neighbors to accept packages or go to a post office to collect packages. Or worse... they no longer have to look for their package in places where they would rather not find it. For example, a parcel machine contributes to the feeling of luxury and comfort, which benefits the reputation of the complex.
Including a parcel locker in the design of the complex
As a project developer, it is important to take the wishes of modern residents into account when designing the complex. Including a parcel machine in the design can contribute to the saleability of the complex and can distinguish the complex from other complexes without a parcel machine. It is important to take into account the location and accessibility of the parcel machine, so that it is easily accessible for all residents.
It is also important for architects to take into account the wishes of modern residents when designing the complex. For example, a parcel machine can be included in the design of the entrance hall or can be given a separate room in the complex. It is important to take into account the dimensions of the parcel locker, so that it can be placed stable and easily accessible.
In short, a parcel locker has become an important facility for modern residents of apartment complexes. As a VvE, project developer or architect, it is therefore important to take the wishes of residents into account and to include a parcel machine in the design of the complex. This can contribute to an efficient handling of parcels and can distinguish the complex from other complexes without a parcel machine.
Place a parcel machine and you're done. Unfortunately not! Then it starts…!
Many building owners are under the assumption that once a parcel locker has been purchased and installed, the parcel problem has been solved for the residents. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth… Only then does the supplier concerned prove itself with its customer service! Many users are unfortunately seduced by an interesting price or beautiful cabinet design, but forget that the solution will only prove itself in practice, if all kinds of different delivery companies start using it.
