Canada’s commercial sector – like all industries – took a hit from the Covid-19 pandemic. A recent Stats Canada survey from April 2020 showed that more than half of Canadian companies lost at least 20 per cent of their revenue, nearly one third reported a revenue loss of 40 per cent, and a staggering 80-plus per cent of businesses across the country reported a “medium to high” drop in demand for their products or services. The economy is rebounding thanks in part to new practices and new uses for existing technology, including forward-thinking managers who are now adapting smart locker solutions for apartments for use in commercial, corporate and retail environments.
For example, many corporate controllers and office tower managers are finding ways to decrease the amount of face-to-face contact and overall physical traffic in their buildings. One way of managing the new physical distancing protocols is by using touchless package delivery solutions such as smart lockers in lobbies, outside, near building entrances, and in other common areas.
Companies such as Snaile have been supplying businesses with secure and convenient smart locker solutions for apartments, condos, retail locations and commercial properties for several years. Now, in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic, even more commercial property developers are assessing the role that smart lockers can play in the regrowth of Canadian business.
By utilizing touchless package delivery among their new corporate and in-store procedures and technologies, Canadian businesses are forecasting numbers that look a bit more optimistic:
Snaile has smart locker installations in 23 Canadian cities. The bulk of their business has been smart locker solutions for apartments and condos, but their retail and corporate client list is growing steadily. Snaile lockers are used every day by a number of major carriers, including FedEx, Purolator, DHL and Intelcom, which is one of Amazon’s largest package delivery services in Canada.
