Automation platform Quadient says that it's now installed smart lockers for package deliveries at 250 colleges and universities in the U.S., and that 1.5 million students per year are using them.

Quadient's Parcel Pending system for school campuses provides real-time tracking for packages and round-the-clock security video surveillance, and sends email and text notifications every time a package is dropped off and collected. The system is now in use at the University of Alabama, Kennesaw State University, the University of Kentucky, and Shenandoah University, among others.

“The continuing expansion of e-commerce and the resulting high volumes of packages is the main driver in the growth of demand for our automated locker platform, on campus and off,” said Quadient executive vice president Austin Maddox. "We’ve been thrilled to see the diverse range of use cases across the campuses of our higher education customers."
