The Challenge

In the vibrant urban setting of Atlanta, Georgia, our client, overseeing a community of 227 units, faced a distinct package management challenge that demanded a strategic solution:

  • Resident Discontent: Residents were increasingly dissatisfied with the existing off-site package management solution. Their dissatisfaction stemmed from inconveniences and delays in retrieving their packages.
  • Contract Renewal Dilemma: The contract with the off-site package management provider was up for renewal, but the proposed renewal rate was significantly higher. This posed a financial challenge for our client.
  • Budget Constraints: Complicating matters further, there was no allocated capital budget to address the package management issue. This lack of financial resources added another layer of complexity to the challenge.
