SHARED PARCEL REGISTER

ParcelBook

Find the parcel. Hand it over. Done.

The record

The parcels were organised.
The searching wasn’t.

Every parcel got a large handwritten number, written on the parcel and used to store it in order. That part worked. The books were sorted by courier and date — which is exactly the information the customer at the counter usually didn’t have.

At the counter

  • Which courier?
  • Which date?
  • What name?
  • Are you sure it arrived?
  • Ask the name. Find the number.

Before, the answers decided which book to open and which days to read through. A wrong courier guess, or a notification date that wasn’t the shop’s arrival date, and the search started again.

Now there is one question. Staff search the surname and ParcelBook returns the record, the internal parcel number, the courier and the status.

Then they walk to the shelf and pick up the number — exactly as they always did.

How it works

Surname in. Number out.

ParcelBook is one shared live register across every courier. It improves search, shared staff information, retrieval speed, collection status and handover between shifts. The storage system stays as it is.

  • ReceiveLog the parcel when it arrives. Same numbering as before.
  • StoreKeep the existing internal number and the shelf it lives on.
  • FindType a surname. The record and its internal number come back.
  • CollectHand it over and mark it collected.
  • ShareEvery shift works from the same live register.

Before and after

We didn’t replace what already worked. We removed the slow part.

BEFORE

  • Separate handwritten books per courier
  • Sorted by courier and date
  • Staff ask multiple questions
  • Customers often don’t know the courier or date
  • Time lost searching at the counter
  • More room for human error
  • Different staff relying on the same paper records

AFTER

  • One shared live register
  • Search by surname
  • Internal parcel number shown immediately
  • Faster parcel retrieval
  • Easier for any staff member to use
  • Shared live information
  • Less counter friction

What we kept

  • the internal parcel number
  • the physical storage sequence
  • courier categories
  • the familiar parcel-register idea

Built for busy counters.

  • convenience stores
  • independent retailers
  • parcel collection points
  • shops handling customer parcel collections

Keep what works.
Remove the friction.
