Why properties choose Smiota

Solving multifamily package management challenges.

Mailroom overflow, package theft, and staff overload disappear when delivery pickup becomes secure and self-service.

1

End mailroom overflow

Smart lockers centralize deliveries into clearly assigned, secure compartments — eliminating clutter, confusion, and misplaced packages.

2

Prevent package theft

Access-controlled lockers protect deliveries from theft and liability. Every pickup is logged for complete visibility and accountability.

3

Offer 24/7 resident access

Residents pick up packages anytime — early mornings, late nights, or weekends — without depending on office hours or staff.

4

Reduce staff workload

Automated package handling eliminates manual sorting and logging, freeing property teams to focus on leasing and resident service.

Configurations

Most ordered units.

Most communities start with a 17-Door Console and scale from there. The console is the primary station — touchscreen, RFID reader, keypad, and a full mix of compartment sizes. Add-on banks bolt on as your package volume grows, so you size for today and expand without replacing the console. Every unit is also available in a weatherized outdoor configuration — with an overhead weather hood, integrated lighting, and motion sensors for safe, well-lit pickups after dark.
