Save time with every delivery
Automate the identification and tracking of mail and parcels to reduce manual tasks and get items to the right recipient faster.
Automatic recognition: detect shipment information and reduce data entry.
Advanced search: quickly find an item or its recipient.
Unique tracking: trace every item from reception to handover.
Continuous tracking, from arrival to handover
Digitise the journey of every incoming item and parcel, from arrival to handover to the right recipient.
Trace every item through to handover
Every item keeps a unique reference and a searchable history, so its status can be found quickly, especially in the event of a late handover or a question from the recipient. Reception teams therefore have reliable tracking without having to reconstruct the parcel's journey.
This traceability also helps identify pending items or unusual volumes. Across several sites, shared indicators make it easier to track and compare activity, without multiplying files or management methods.
Monitor mail and parcel flows in real time
Dashboards give an immediate view of volumes received, items pending and completed handovers. Teams can track activity by period or by site and quickly identify changes in flows.
Across several buildings, this consolidated view makes it possible to compare activity and use the same indicators on every site.
Anticipate delivery peaks
Volume analysis helps identify the busiest days and periods. Teams can then adapt their organisation and prevent mail and parcels from piling up in reception areas.
Better visibility of flows also makes it easier to size storage areas and organise teams during the busiest periods.
Frequently asked questions about parcel management in the workplace
How does the software cut the time reception spends on parcel intake?
Each parcel is logged in seconds by scanning or short entry, and the recipient is notified automatically. Reception no longer needs to call or make manual rounds to notify the site's occupants.
How am I informed that a parcel is waiting for me at reception?
You receive an automatic notification as soon as your parcel is logged. You then collect it whenever suits you, with an electronic signature on handover.
Is specific hardware needed for parcel tracking at reception?
No, a computer or a tablet is enough to scan the label or enter a reference. No dedicated equipment is needed to get started.
Can parcel volumes be compared across several sites?
Yes. Parcel statuses and volumes can be viewed site by site from a single dashboard, which makes multi-site reception management easier.
What happens if I do not collect my parcel quickly?
An automatic reminder can be configured after a set period, so parcels do not pile up at reception unclaimed.
