- Secure unattended drop-off
- Digital delivery records
- Cloud-managed across sites
What are delivery lockers?
A secure handover point between courier and recipient
Delivery lockers are cloud-managed, self-service compartments that allow an authorised courier to deposit an item without waiting for the recipient, reception team or site contact.
The recipient receives a secure collection credential and retrieves the item at a convenient time. The system records both events, providing visibility from drop-off to collection.

How delivery lockers work
From courier arrival to a complete collection record
The workflow can be configured around your carriers, recipients, access policies, notifications and connected systems.
- 1
Identify
The courier identifies the delivery using a PIN, QR code, mobile credential or integrated method.
- 2
Deposit
An appropriate compartment opens and the courier securely deposits the item.
- 3
Notify
The recipient receives a collection message and secure access credential.
- 4
Collect and record
The recipient collects the item and the completed transaction remains available for reporting.

Solution distinction
Delivery lockers and parcel lockers serve related but different needs
Delivery lockers focus on completing a controlled delivery into a workplace, property or operational location, then recording the recipient’s collection.
Parcel lockers cover a broader mix of parcel distribution, returns, carrier-network and collection journeys.
