Have you ever stopped to think about how much time staff spend managing parcels? We have… It is between four to five minutes per parcel when you factor in receiving, storing, logging, notifying, and collection. For a 650-bed property, this can equate to 22 hours a week or more than $40,000 in labour costs a year, not to mention the more important tasks staff could be doing to look after residents with this time.
Groundfloor™ offers a direct integration with StarRez for unparalleled ease of operation. When integrated with StarRez, your residents are automatically imported and kept in sync. This means the resident data in Groundfloor™ is always up to date with no additional effort required as residents come and go or update their contact details.
Not with StarRez? Fear not, Groundfloor™ integrates with many management portals and we also have solutions for buildings that don’t use portals.

Students are amongst the most prolific online shoppers with e-commerce continuing to grow relentlessly. Traditionally, residence management staff have personally handled every parcel by logging it, interacting with the couriers, sending notifications to students and storing items until pick-up. As the packages continue to pile up, this has become a costly and inefficient process detracting staff from focusing on student well-being. Let us show you how a 1500-bed student accommodation can save up to 2,500 staff hours per year at full occupancy.
Groundfloor™ lockers are modular. We help you choose the setup to suit your residents needs.
You can also choose your Groundfloor™ look, from luxurious elegance to distinctive vinyl wraps. Whatever your statement, Groundfloor™ will seamlessly become part of your building.
Groundfloor™ provides a digital-signature for every delivery and collection transaction. This means no one needs to physically sign for deliveries. Digital signatures are accepted by the courier companies and provide the utmost security and traceability of every transaction.
Food delivery is rapidly becoming as big an issue for student accommodation as parcel delivery. Food being left unattended brings all kinds of associated drama, including theft and mess. Groundfloor™ can receive deliveries from ANY delivery company, not just parcels! With Groundfloor™ insulated inserts our lockers can securely store and notify students to collect their food delivery while keeping cold items cool and hot items warm. COMING SOON!
Groundfloor™ has a multitude of delivery solutions customised to your requirements.
Sometimes no matter how big your lockers are, students will order something that is just too big! Groundfloor™ has come up with a solution that allows a courier driver to deliver to the desk, the same way they would to a parcel locker. All the functionality of the parcel lockers is the same including notifying the recipient and providing a digital signature except the staff at the desk will take the delivery to be stored in a secure place. This solution is also perfect for properties that don’t have the space in common areas for a parcel locker system.
Student accommodation parcel lockers provide benefits for the entire student residence community. Students enjoy the convenience and privacy of receiving deliveries through a secure parcel locker system offering 24/7 collection. Residents no longer have to queue at the reception desk or dash back to campus to collect a parcel during opening hours. Groundfloor™'s smart, fully contactless solution is perfect for students thriving in the digital age.
