Package management in residential buildings has quickly become a hot topic. It seems like every day, the amount of deliveries your team has to handle just grows and grows.Naturally, this is having a huge effect on workloads, costing site teams countless hours over the weeks and months. Not only are they fulfilling their roles as managers and resident advisers, they’re on the fringe of becoming full-time postal workers, too.

Accepting parcel deliveries for your residents is an extra service that most of them will appreciate. After all, if residents aren’t around to take the delivery themselves, you and your team save them a trip to the sorting office.

Costs. They’re one of the few things every business would be happy to see drop right down to zero. In reality, that’s not going to happen. There’s always some expenditure to pay.But a significant reduction in costs is still a huge win, and finding ways to reduce expenditure while also improving the life of your staff and residents is a major coup.

Maximising rent collected in a residential building usually boils down to one core element: keeping the tenants in situ happy. The more “at home” they feel, the more likely you are to retain their custom, which means:

• Accepting rent increases
• Minimising revenue lost through void periods
• You won’t have to spend time and money finding a replacement tenant
• Your staff can continue to build on their relationships with existing tenants (which can be very useful for resolving issues quickly and calmly)
