Campus mail centers are busier than ever, with package volumes increasing year after year. How can schools keep up? Dennis Hyde sits down with Chris Giles, VP of Enterprise Sales at Pitney Bowes, to explore how technology is transforming campus mail operations. From improving efficiency to ensuring security and accountability, they’ll cover the key strategies to help schools streamline mailing, shipping, and receiving. 

Has your higher ed institution considered smart lockers on campus? The future of school parcel delivery is automation. Colleges are deploying smart locker solutions, combined with automated tracking systems. Smart locker systems allow for accurate status information, ability to process parcels fast, messages about pick-up that are automated, and tracking.
