University Move-In & Move-Out eBook

This eBook contains tools provided by SCLogic’s campus logistics software, Intra EDU, that helps any campus facility navigate move-in and move-out both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Campus Mailroom Logistics Problems

Problem 1: Increased Package Volume

During campus move in and move out, package volume increases exponentially with students sending packages to their dorm prior to move-in, and shipping dorm items home as they move out. Packages can be easily misplaced without an adequate tracking and storage system.

Problem 2: Contactless Delivery Options

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, many universities must find contactless delivery options for packages. With lack of space, resources, and time, this can be difficult for universities to handle at peak times.

Problem 3: Campus Reopening Initiatives

Many campuses have altered their re-opening policies to adjust for capacity levels and social distancing. Package pick-up and move-in/out may be spread across campus, requiring an organized system for package tracking.

Tip 1: Improve Asset Logistics to Help Monitor Capacity

Be sure to alter package pick-up and drop-off protocol for move-in and move-out. Allocate specific pallets and dollies for dorm buildings to simplify move-in and minimize contact. Streamline the request process during move-in and move-out to expedite the process of asset delivery (pallets, dollies, furniture, etc).

Tip 2: Engage in Touch-Free Delivery to Minimize Contact

Utilize Intra’s campus logistics integrations such as smart lockers and kiosks to engage in touch-free delivery during move-in. Consider adjusting your mailroom strategy to place packages shipped prior to move-in in a specific location (i.e., dorm, floor, or building lobby) to minimize or avoid human-to-human contact.

Tip 3: Improve Visitor Tracking Protocol for Detailed Reports

Move-in and move-out not only includes monitoring students, but their parents and loved ones as well. Ensuring you have detailed insights into visitors on campus during this time promotes campus safety. Avoid long lines and heavy foot traffic by setting up email and text notifications when students can begin the move-in/out process.
