📈 1. Where the savings come from

Lockers move routine hand-offs from people to software. The savings show up in staff hours, fewer lost or disputed items and better use of floor space.

  • Less time handing items over at a desk
  • Fewer lost, misplaced or disputed parcels
  • Smaller storage rooms and reception areas
  • Lower cost per transaction at high volume

📈 2. Calculate staff time

Estimate how many minutes a person spends on each hand-off, multiply by the number of hand-offs per day and by the hourly cost of that role. That is the daily cost lockers can reduce.

📈 3. Count what goes missing

Add up the cost of items that are lost, damaged or claimed in error, plus the time spent investigating them. A locker log removes most of these disputes.

📈 4. Value the space

A mailroom or storage counter takes room that could serve another purpose. Compare the area a locker bank needs with the area it replaces.

📈 5. Include running costs

Count the cost of the locker system, software subscription, maintenance and power. Compare the annual total with the savings above to find your payback period.

📈 6. Review after launch

Track pickups, uncollected items and fault calls for the first three months. Use the dashboard reports to adjust compartment mix and notification timing.
