Package Logging Software for Back to School SeasonI have always loved to learn new things, so you may be surprised to learn that I never liked school. When I would hear the phrase, “It’s back to school time!” or when the first smells of Autumnal turning leaves found their way into my nostrils, I would begin to feel a certain foreboding sense of dread. Even to this day, many, many years past school age, I still feel on edge as the balmy summer winds go the way of the late evening sunsets.

I don’t know what I would dread anymore, but I do know what our clients dread. “Back to school time” means an onslaught of packages for all of our student housing package logging software clients, but they are not the only ones who feel this change. We see this same increase in activity for our Residential Housing clients as well. For them, the sudden increase in inbound packages and the need to track inbound packages stems from a few sources, all of which seem to be directly or indirectly related to the fall semester bell toll.

As the summer comes to a close, families begin to return from beach vacations and other summer excursions. Many of these families will ship home some of their luggage to avoid baggage charges and the hassle of carrying those bags through the airport. The other source of the inbound package issues is the online shopping of school supplies and the inevitable shipping that comes with it. As students and parents of students buy books, blankets, backpacks, binders and all sorts of other supplies (even some that don’t start with the letter “B”), all of those items must then be shipped to your building for you to deal with.

Dealing with the rush of inbound parcels takes time effort and organization. If you don’t have one, you really need to consider an internal package tracking software for your multi-family building. Systems like EZTrackIt’s package logging software will record every item that comes into your building and notify your residents instantly via text, email or Facebook alert. Additional features, like our lobby display and electronic signature receipt upon pickup ensure that your residents packages are received quickly and you have proof of delivery. The best part is that EZTrackIt’s internal package tracking software does all of this in 1/10th the time of logging packages by hand. Our package tracking system will easily pay for itself in hours saved, but more than that it shows your buildings commitment to providing great service to your residents.
