What do you do now and what are you planning for the future?: Package Concierge has developed a digital locker system for package management. We designed it specifically for multifamily housing communities. Our system uses both hardware and software to solve the problem of on-site package management. We are a startup with installations in DC, MD, VA, NJ, CT & MA, and with several orders pending on the west coast. We believe this technology will become the standard for every multifamily property across the country - and we are working hard to make that happen.
