Don’t Underestimate Summer Mailroom Activity

As the majority of students have vacated campus and with the scorchers we had this weekend, it’s safe to say that many of us are in the summer mindset. However, that doesn’t mean that your university’s mailroom is closed for business. It’s important to remember that the campus mailroom serves more package recipients than just students.

Who’s Using Your Mailroom This Summer?

The summer is always seen as a down period for student housing, but this doesn’t mean that all activity ceases. There are a number of parties who will need to use your mailroom services during this slower season.

• Professors and Staff: Summer is the perfect time to order and test new teaching materials before classes start in the fall. Package tracking software ensures that these items reach their intended recipients so that they can start evaluating and using them ASAP.
• Summer Students: Whether they’re trying to get ahead of the game or retaking classes to improve their grades, many students choose to take summer session courses. These students often choose to have their text books shipped directly to their schools, especially if their buildings lack a secure package tracking system!
• Conference Coordinators and Attendees: Companies often find that college campuses are the perfect locations to hold summer conferences. There are on-site accommodations, dining options, meeting rooms, gymnasiums and a whole host of other amenities at their disposal. Renting out these facilities to corporate conferences and retreats serves as a promising summer revenue stream. The promise of an up and running mailroom equipped with package tracking software gives your university a competitive advantage.

How Package Tracking Software Supports Summer Mailroom Operations

Summer allows you the time to do all the things that you were unable to accomplish during the busy spring semester, such as clean and reorganize the mailroom or discuss strategies to get packages picked up more quickly in the fall. However, if you’re still hand logging packages, you may find that you won’t have as free time as you think. Our cloud based package tracking system lets you log packages 4-10 times faster than by hand, ensuring that you will have the time you need to accomplish more strategic tasks.

Don’t underestimate the summer activity in your campus mailroom. Prepare your staff with our comprehensive package tracking software. We’ll free their minds of the tedious task of hand logging packages.
