Capacity & Sizing
Focused guides for this part of the commercial project.
How much parcel-locker capacity does a property need?
Capacity should be based on packages per day, pickup delay, peak season, compartment mix, overflow policy and growth—not only number of residents.
Forecasting daily package volume
Use property-specific delivery history where possible, then model growth and seasonal peaks rather than relying on one generic packages-per-unit ratio.
Locker turnover and pickup time
Faster pickup releases compartments sooner, so notification effectiveness and resident/user behavior directly influence required locker count.
Choosing parcel-locker compartment sizes
A good mix provides enough small/medium capacity without letting oversized parcels consume all available compartments.
Planning parcel-locker overflow
Overflow can be handled through staffed rooms, shelves, overflow lockers or delivery exceptions, but the workflow should be defined before capacity is exceeded.
Peak-season parcel capacity
Holiday and promotion periods can produce demand well above average, making peak-day planning important for multifamily and campuses.
Package room vs parcel lockers
Package rooms can offer flexible capacity while lockers provide controlled compartments; labor, security, user experience and overflow differ.
