Packages
Log, notify, and reconcile every parcel.
Overview
Track every parcel from drop-off to pickup. Concierge logs the delivery against a unit; the resident is notified instantly; pickup is recorded with a timestamp and (optionally) a signature. The result is a clean, searchable audit trail and a parcel room that doesn't depend on a notebook.
Who uses this
- Concierge logs incoming parcels and signs out pickups.
- Residents receive notifications and confirm receipt.
- Managers review backlog and aging packages.
Open the feature
Sidebar → Front Desk → Packages.
Step-by-step
- Click Log package.
- Search resident by unit, name, or scan a label barcode.
- Select carrier, add a note (oversized, fragile, refrigerated).
- Save — resident is notified by their chosen channels.
- On pickup, search the package, click Mark picked up, capture signature if your building requires it.
- Aged packages appear at the top of the list with a red badge.
Settings & permissions
Admins set: required signature on pickup, photo of label, default carrier list, and aging thresholds (e.g. 7 days). See Settings → Packages.
Multi-building tips
Use the building selector — packages are always scoped to one building.
Notifications
Resident gets a push + email on arrival; SMS optional. A reminder fires after the configured aging threshold.
Reports & exports
Reports → Packages shows volume by day, carrier mix, and average pickup time. Export CSV.
Troubleshooting
- Resident not found. Confirm the unit number; if vacant, leave 'Unassigned' and update later.
- Wrong resident notified. Click Edit on the package and change the recipient.
- Duplicate parcel. Delete the duplicate; deletion is logged in the audit history.
FAQ
Can residents pick up for a neighbour? Yes — the signature captures the actual recipient name.
Do you support lockers? Lockers integrate via the API — contact support.
