VTS Activate for Multifamily eliminates the need for paper logs to track packages and frees up staff so they're not leaving their station to enter the package room.
Scan Packages
Step 1
From your property's staff app, select Packages.
Step 2
Select Scan Packages from the upper right corner.
This will open a camera feature. Focus in on the recipient of the package, and take the picture.
|
Note: If the photo is blurry, you will need to retake the picture or enter the information on the right side. |
The recipient information will populate after a clear picture is taken. You are also able to update or edit that information.
Step 3
Select Submit. This will alert the package recipient that they have a package waiting to be picked up and their pickup location.
Marking Packages as picked up
Step 1
Under Packages, you will see the records of packages that have been scanned and are awaiting pickup.
Select the checkbox(es) next to the package(s) you would like to mark as picked up. Select Marked as Picked Up. This will send a notification to the recipient that it has been picked up.
Step 2
This will prompt a signature box.
| Note: Either Property Admin, Staff, or Package Recipient can sign for the package. This is dependent on your property's workflow. |
Filtering Package Results
