Features

Mailroom Management, Fully Automated

From the moment a package hits your loading dock to the second it is picked up, VMS tracks everything with zero manual effort.

Package Tracking

Photo Proof of Delivery

Capture a photo at intake and pickup for every package. Visual proof eliminates disputes over delivery condition and status.

Chain of Custody

Recipient Notifications

Recipients get instant alerts via email, SMS, or Slack the moment their package arrives. Automatic reminders prevent packages from sitting unclaimed.

Mailroom Dashboard

Delivery Analytics

Track delivery volumes, peak times, and average pickup rates. Use data to optimise carrier performance and mailroom staffing.

Barcode Scanning

Scan package barcodes using a tablet camera or handheld scanner. Carrier and tracking details are auto-populated to speed up intake.

Aging & Escalation

How It Works

From Delivery to Pickup in Four Steps

VMS creates a complete, accountable chain of custody for every package that enters your building.

01

Package Arrives

A delivery arrives at your mailroom or front desk. Staff logs it by scanning the barcode or entering details manually. A photo is captured.

02

Recipient Notified

VMS instantly sends a notification to the recipient via their preferred channel - email, SMS, Slack, or Teams - with package details.

03

Recipient Picks Up

The recipient comes to claim their package. They sign on the screen, and VMS logs the handoff with a timestamp and optional photo proof.

04

Chain Documented

The complete chain of custody - from carrier to mailroom to recipient - is recorded with timestamps, photos, and signatures for full accountability.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about VMS delivery management.

How does VMS delivery management work?

When a package arrives, your mailroom staff logs it by scanning the barcode or entering the details manually. VMS captures a photo, notifies the recipient instantly, and tracks the package until it is picked up. Every handoff is recorded with timestamps and signatures.

Can I scan package barcodes to log deliveries?

Yes. VMS supports barcode scanning via a tablet camera or a connected handheld scanner. Scanning auto-populates the carrier and tracking number, making package intake fast and error-free.

How are recipients notified when a package arrives?

Recipients receive instant notifications via email, SMS, Slack, or Microsoft Teams. You can configure automatic follow-up reminders for unclaimed packages after 24, 48, or 72 hours.

What is chain of custody tracking?

Chain of custody is a detailed record of every handoff a package goes through - from the carrier delivering it, to the mailroom staff receiving it, to the recipient picking it up. Each step is logged with a timestamp, the person responsible, and optional photo proof.

Can I manage deliveries across multiple buildings or locations?

Yes. VMS supports multi-location delivery management from a single dashboard. Each location can have its own mailroom operators, notification settings, and escalation rules while you maintain a centralized overview.

What happens to unclaimed packages?

VMS tracks package aging and sends automatic reminders to recipients. You can set escalation rules - for example, notify the manager after 48 hours and return to sender after 7 days. The mailroom dashboard highlights overdue packages so nothing falls through the cracks.

Does VMS integrate with major carriers?

VMS recognizes barcodes from all major carriers including USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and Amazon. Tracking numbers are auto-linked so you can check delivery status directly from the VMS dashboard.

How much does VMS delivery management cost?

Delivery management is included in the VMS Professional plan at $36 per location per month. It is part of the full 6-module platform alongside visitor management, queue management, attendance tracking, and more.
