Vancouver, British Columbia – Tribe Property Technologies Inc. (TSXV:TRBE) (OTCQB US: TRPTF) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 7HZ) (“Tribe” or the “Company”) has partnered with Luxer One, a leading developer of smart locker technology to bring secure and versatile parcel storage to Tribe communities across Canada.
“As we enter one of the busiest times of year for online shopping and package delivery with Black Friday and Christmas, it is important to acknowledge the massive consumer shift to online shopping that has recently impacted residential community living,” said Tribe CEO Joseph Nakhla. “Five years ago, a condo or apartment building would receive between 10-20 packages a day, now they are receiving anywhere between 50-200 a day. This shift has created a need for logistical parcel storage solutions for residents in multi-family dwellings.”
Canadian retail e-commerce sales reached a record $3.9 billion in May 2020. Year over year, e-commerce sales more than doubled—with a 110.8% increase compared with May 2019[1]. Canada Post, the leading parcel shipping provider in Canada, reported delivering 389 million parcels in 2020, up from 320 million units delivered in the previous year and expected to have grown even higher in 2021[2]. However, many consumers don’t have a secure way to get a package delivered to their unit.
“We are excited to partner with Luxer One to bring security and peace-of-mind to our communities, particularly those without concierge service,” added Mr. Nakhla. “Digitizing parcel delivery from the point of ordering through to arriving at your home in a secure environment, all while receiving mobile notifications so you know where your packages are and when they arrive – it eliminates so many points of friction.”
“Given the growing demand for parcel storage solutions and the number of residential buildings that Tribe manages, this partnership was a natural fit,” said Luxer One President, Josh Middlebrooks. “Like Tribe, technology and innovation are at the heart of our customer-focused company. Our mission is to accept 100 per cent of the packages that come to Tribe buildings, with no restrictions on size or storage.”
Tribe manages approximately 40,000 homes made up of more than 100,000 residents. The Company’s proprietary community management software Tribe Home is integrated into every community with its ability to connect, inform, educate, and protect through the digitization and simplification of residential community living.
