The Package Problem in Apartments & Condos
Online shopping has turned apartment and condo buildings into mini parcel depots. As a result, delivery volumes climb every month and the pressure on your team keeps increasing.
Your staff now deals with:
- Couriers dropping off boxes all day
- Residents who aren’t home when deliveries arrive
- Limited storage in lobbies, cupboards or back rooms
- Complaints when something goes missing or gets stolen
When you rely on paper logs, spreadsheets or “we’ll remember”, the cracks show quickly:
- Parcels stack up in the lobby and make the building look messy
- Front desk staff spend half the day searching for boxes
- Nobody knows for sure if a parcel was picked up or by whom
- One lost delivery turns into a bad review or angry email
In short, the process is chaotic, stressful and risky. If you manage residential buildings, you need a simple package management system that protects staff, residents and your reputation.
How Traizr Solves Package Management for Apartments & Condominiums
Traizr is internal parcel tracking software built for multi-resident buildings – apartments, condominiums and mixed-use developments. Instead of ad-hoc workarounds, it gives you one clean, trackable process.
Scan Packages Once at the Front Desk or Package Room
When couriers arrive, staff simply scan each parcel using a smartphone, tablet or scanner. In doing so, Traizr instantly logs:
- Resident name or unit number
- Courier details if needed
- Time and date received
- Optional notes or photos (for example, if a box is damaged)
Because everything is recorded at the door, there’s no guessing and no scribbled notes. Every parcel is in the system with a clear owner from the start.
Automatic Pickup Notifications for Residents
As soon as a parcel is logged, Traizr can send a notification to the resident. This means:
- They know a parcel is ready and where to collect it
- You cut constant “did anything arrive for me?” calls and visits
- Parcels leave your limited storage area much faster
In addition, you can send reminder messages for parcels that sit uncollected, so storage doesn’t get jammed during busy periods.
Proof of Pickup to Reduce Disputes and Theft
When residents collect parcels, staff scan them out and capture a quick confirmation. Typically this includes:
- A signature or name on screen
- An optional photo of the resident with the parcel
- The exact time and date of pickup
Because of this digital proof, you have a clear trail from delivery to pickup. So when someone claims “I never got that package”, you can show what actually happened.
Works with Package Rooms, Lockers and Concierge Desks
Every building runs parcel handling slightly differently. Therefore, Traizr is designed to fit around your existing setup:
- A front-desk concierge with back-of-house storage
- A dedicated package room with shelves or cages
- A mix of staffed hours and smart lockers
You decide how parcels are stored and handed over; meanwhile, Traizr simply tracks each step in the process.
Free Up Space and Staff Time in Residential Buildings
Space and staff time are expensive in any residential building. Consequently, cluttered lobbies and overworked front-desk teams are more than just an annoyance.
With apartment package management software in place, you can:
- Clear parcels faster to keep lobbies and corridors tidy
- Reduce the time staff spend searching labels and boxes
- Avoid keeping old paper logs “just in case”
- Focus front-of-house teams on residents, not only deliveries
Ultimately, residents see a clean, organised building instead of a lobby that looks like a sorting depot.
How Traizr Works in Apartment Buildings – Step by Step
Step 1 – Receive and Scan Parcels
First, couriers drop parcels at the front desk or package room. Staff scan each label and assign it to a unit or resident in Traizr. As a result, items are timestamped and stored in your chosen area with clear ownership.
Step 2 – Notify Residents Automatically
Next, Traizr sends pickup notifications to residents with basic details and collection instructions. Because of this, there are no manual calls, no printed lists and far less confusion about what has arrived.
Step 3 – Collect with Digital Proof
Finally, when residents come to collect:
- Staff look them up in Traizr or scan a QR code
- Parcels are scanned out
- A signature or on-screen confirmation is captured
At that point, the parcel is marked as collected and the audit trail is complete.

FAQs – Package Management for Apartments & Condominiums
Q: We already have a basic logbook or spreadsheet. Why upgrade?
A: Logbooks and spreadsheets don’t scale and don’t protect you when parcels go missing. By contrast, Traizr gives you notifications, search, audit trails and consistent workflows across buildings.
Q: Can Traizr work with our existing parcel lockers?
A: Yes. You can use Traizr alongside lockers – for example, tracking items that don’t fit in lockers, or using Traizr as the main record of what’s been delivered and collected.
Q: Do we have to change our current storage setup?
A: No. You can keep your current package room or storage process. Traizr simply tracks what comes in, where it’s stored and when it’s collected.
Q: Do we need new devices for staff?
A: Not necessarily. Traizr runs on smartphones, tablets and desktop browsers. Handheld barcode scanners can be added later if you want to speed things up.
Q: Can we see parcel volumes across multiple buildings?
A: Yes. You can see and export data per building or across the portfolio. In turn, that helps with planning storage space, staffing and future building upgrades.
