The world of business has changed a lot over the past eighteen months in every part of the country. A lot of staff are now either working from home or in the office under socially distanced measures. Since lockdown began in 2020, Smart Parcel Box has been working with businesses all across the country, and now it can work for yours too.
Business Parcel Box Safety Features
Our delivery boxes are great for businesses that value security and high-quality goods. With three keys provided upon purchase, you’ll be able to provide access to only necessary personnel. You can also change the Smart Parcel Box lock to suit your needs, too. You can read instructions on how to change your parcel box lock in one of our earlier blogs. Each secure lock is combined with the anti-fishing bar for maximum protection. You can also bolt your box to either the wall or the floor using the bolts and pre-drilled holes provided.
Now, nothing says unprofessional like stacks of parcels and letters on or around your receptionists’ desk, either. Not only is this a health and safety hazard, but between the contact-to-contact delivery and stacks of parcels to trip over, it’s also unsightly. This could be potentially off-putting for any client or staff member to see upon arrival. With the extra large parcel box, you’ll be able to have seamless contactless delivery with or without a pandemic. You’ll even have the added bonus of keeping sensitive letters and deliveries from the public eye.
Increase in Business Professionalism
Not only does owning a parcel box make your business look more professional, but it offers a great branding opportunity, too. All of our smart parcel boxes can be painted. This means, if desired you could paint your delivery box to match your business colours. This makes the parcel box a promotional asset as it advertises to delivery staff and visitors.
Not artistic? Applying weather-resistant stickers to your parcel box will likely work just as well. For more instructions on how to customise your parcel box, a checklist of ideas can be found towards the end of our summer blog.
Benefitting Professions
While our parcel boxes will clearly work in tandem with receptionists at any and all businesses, there are more possible applications for our Smart Parcel Boxes. Parcel boxes can also be used as a self-returns box for businesses such as libraries.
Since Covid emerged, libraries either closed or offered an online website with an outdoor collection option. But how would you be able to return these books in a contactless manner? Enter Smart Parcel Box.
Several libraries across England and even France have been seen with one of these posted outside. This makes for a perfect contactless return of a book when finished with them. Staff can then disinfect the books outside the building by wiping them down, before returning them to their shelf.
This genius idea can be adapted to fit any returns system. This would make returns both contactless and efficient, not to mention, convenient. As it’s placed outside, any customer would be able to return items outside of scheduled hours, at a time to suit their schedule. This would make returns less frustrating for both parties.
