Automated parcel delivery terminals offer convenient and easy parcel delivery solutions for recipients. These terminals are equipped with a number of usable units (the exact number depending upon the size of the unit) and are controlled by a central computer unit. In this delivery system, the parcel to be delivered is stored in the usable boxes of the terminal, which is located in the vicinity of the recipient’s home (or in a location of the recipient’s choice) and the latter is notified of the delivery through an SMS or e-mail. At the terminal, the recipient enters the verification code and retrieves the destined parcel. The process remains the same at the time of parcel return or delivery of a new parcel. This delivery system has been designed to meet the challenges of modern-day parcel services: rising parcel volume and increasing delivery re-attempts. Improving cognizance among logistics companies to reduce carbon footprint is one of the key trends, fuelling the growth of the automated parcel delivery terminals market.
