Smartbox is a personal, smart parcel locker designed for individual households. It offers a secure and convenient way to receive, store, and even return deliveries right at your doorstep, ensuring a seamless delivery experience.

2. How does SmartBox work?

When a courier delivers a package, they use a unique link to scan the QR code on your Smartbox. This action generates a one-time PIN code, allowing them to unlock the box and securely deposit the parcel. Once the delivery is complete, you’ll receive an instant notification on your mobile app.

3. How secure is Smartbox?

Smartbox features a robust, battery-powered locking system and is made of galvanized steel to protect your packages from theft, weather, or damage. Only authorized couriers and the Smartbox owner can access it, using secure one-time PIN codes for each delivery.
