Less space, more car-free zones, but increasing congestion due to delivery vans in urban areas. In the rapidly changing world of property management and e-commerce, property developers, managers, and facility managers face challenges. It's clear that something needs to change.
Challenges surrounding parcel delivery: a time-consuming headache
The explosive growth of online shopping has led to a veritable tsunami of parcel deliveries, with all the logistical problems that come with it. It's a familiar sight: piles of parcels in the hallway, couriers struggling to find parking spaces, and complaints from residents about parcels going missing because they were left unattended in the building or added pressure on the reception in offices.
Managers are overwhelmed with managing this rapidly growing logistical problem and have less time for their core tasks. And let's be honest: as a manager, you can think of more enjoyable things to do. Additionally, property developers face stricter regulations, such as reducing traffic congestion and promoting car-free areas.
The challenges surrounding parcel delivery are not only time-consuming but also have broader implications for the safety and sustainability of property management. All those different couriers parking on the sidewalk, leaving parcels unattended in the hallway, and increasing the risk of damage to the property – but can you blame them when they receive yet another "not-at-home" notice and have to work under high pressure? Time is money, especially in the world of last-mile logistics. However, there is a parcel service that solves these problems while also contributing to sustainability and efficiency.
An Innovative Solution
This is where MyPup comes into play. MyPup offers an innovative approach to last-mile logistics. MyPup's approach consists of three distinctive steps that make a significant difference:
Parcel Consolidation and White Label: They accept and consolidate parcels from all providers at a central hub in the city.
Efficient and Sustainable Delivery: They deliver all parcels in one emission-free trip per day to the Pick Up Points. If everyone uses MyPup, no other courier services need to come to a building.
Secure Delivery: By using smart parcel lockers, parcels are no longer left unattended. Residents and employees collect their parcels with a unique code at their convenience. An additional benefit is that parcels can also be sent and returned via the Pick Up Point.
By implementing MyPup as one of the amenities in your building, you are choosing total peace of mind. The team is personally approachable and enthusiastically activates users to make use of the service. A MyPup Pick Up Point is ultimately cheaper and more sustainable than regular home delivery. Since MyPup takes over and manages the entire parcel handling process, managers and facility managers can focus on other tasks.
CBRE Testimonial
CBRE, a pioneer in sustainable property management, has implemented MyPup at more than 25 locations since 2016. With MyPup's full-service solution, facility managers and managers are relieved and gain efficiency. Additionally, MyPup contributes to their sustainability goals.
For Guido Pieters, senior facility manager at CBRE, it makes a huge difference. At various locations, around 40,000 parcels are delivered per year. Pieters says, "Before we had MyPup, we spent so much time processing parcels. We were looking for a sustainable solution that would improve parcel handling and relieve the reception and managers. And we succeeded. MyPup is relieving, saves us a lot of time and hassle, and is truly valuable for residents and office workers."
Jeffrey Buik, a resident of the Salt apartment complex in Westerpark, Amsterdam, also notices the difference: "I know my parcel will be delivered and not stolen. The parcel is delivered the same day, and I don't have to worry about it at all."
A New Standard in Property Management
In a time where efficiency and sustainability go hand in hand, MyPup offers an innovative solution to the challenges of modern parcel delivery. By reducing logistical pressure and contributing to a greener future, MyPup sets the new standard in property management. And that is exactly a welcome addition in increasingly busy urban areas.
