HotDrop for courier companies
Deliver more. Drive less.
HotDrop gives courier companies access to a network of strategically located SmartLockers, allowing multiple customer parcels to be delivered in a single stop.
The delivery problem
Last-mile delivery is where the cost sits.
- Repeat delivery attempts when no one is home
- Long driving time between scattered residential stops
- Parcels returned to depot and re-dispatched
- Customers with no safe place to receive a parcel
- Hard-to-reach addresses that slow down a route
The HotDrop solution
One stop. Many parcels. A secure handover every time.
Instead of chasing individual addresses, your drivers deliver to a HotDrop SmartLocker bank at a convenient, high-traffic location. The parcel is stored securely and the customer collects it with a one-time passcode.
How courier delivery works
From depot to collection.
- 01
Receive
The parcel arrives at your depot with a HotDrop collection point selected.
- 02
Reserve
A locker compartment is reserved for that parcel at the chosen location.
- 03
Deliver
Multiple customer parcels are delivered to the locker bank in one stop.
- 04
Scan
Your driver scans each parcel into its compartment and the drop is recorded.
- 05
Customer collects
The customer is notified and collects with a one-time passcode.
