Revolutionizing Deliveries: Parcel Tracker and Amazon Key Partnership

Managing daily deliveries often involves the distraction of manually buzzing in couriers to prevent failed delivery notices. To resolve this, Parcel Tracker formed a strategic partnership with Amazon Key to provide an automated entry solution for property managers and security teams across the UK and Ireland.

How the Partnership Works

A physical hardware solution speeds up Amazon deliveries while a full software integration remains in development. Installing an Amazon Key for Business controller, which remains compatible with 95% of existing access control systems, enables an efficient workflow across four distinct steps:

• Quick Installation: Technicians connect the device directly to your existing electronic gates or doors using plug-and-play wiring protocols.
• Secure Driver Access: Verified Amazon delivery drivers utilize authenticated access via an encrypted network to enter the building independently.
• Smart Delivery Guidance: Drivers follow your specific internal instructions and digital layout maps provided directly on their handheld devices.‍
• Seamless Handoff: Property staff log the properly dropped-off packages into Parcel Tracker to ensure full digital traceability.

A Quick and Customized Setup Process

Bringing this modern entry system to your facility involves a straightforward deployment program managed entirely by the Amazon technical team. The onboarding workflow consists of three primary phases to guarantee site accuracy:

1. Plug-and-Play Installation: Technicians link the hardware directly into your current setup. The system supports Wiegand and relay wiring protocols, utilizing an LTE-M network with an Ethernet fallback for constant connectivity.
2. Site-Specific Delivery Setup: Amazon logs your precise building instructions, property maps, and standard operating procedures into their system. This information guides drivers to the exact indoor drop-off spot.
3. Mapped to Your Units: Every internal address and unit number connects directly to the system database. This matching protocol ensures that incoming packages reach the correct location during every single visit.

Zero Cost for Your Building

This partnership prioritizes immediate operational value. Amazon Key for Business is free of charge for Parcel Tracker clients, with the first year of service provided entirely at no cost. This offer remains open to all clients across every subscription tier.

Looking Ahead: Full Integration

The roadmap features a deep application integration. Future updates will allow an Amazon delivery scan to automatically notify your Parcel Tracker system, giving your reception team real-time visibility into incoming parcels before the driver arrives at the door.

The Future of Mailroom Logistics

Property managers can eliminate delivery friction by combining automated building access with robust parcel logging. This partnership establishes a reliable baseline for modern mailroom logistics.
