Eliminate package theft with smart lockers for apartment buildings.
Urban Locker provides turnkey smart locker systems for secure, contactless package delivery in apartment complexes. We partner with property managers to install, maintain, and support modular locker banks that accept deliveries from all carriers. Residents receive instant alerts and unique access codes, eliminating theft and reducing staff workload. With a $25k+ budget, we purchase initial inventory, hire a certified technician, and launch within a local metro area. Our full-time operations include sales outreach, installation, 24/7 customer support, and quarterly maintenance. Revenue comes from monthly lease fees, per-package charges, and installation contracts. This B2B2C model leverages the e-commerce surge and rising property manager demand for modern amenities that boost tenant retention and reduce liability. By focusing on white-glove local service and flexible financing, we differentiate from big-box locker providers.
E-commerce package volumes are at an all-time high, with 36% of consumers experiencing package theft in 2023. Property managers are actively seeking amenities to attract and retain tenants, making smart lockers a timely investment.
