According to <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/business-functions\/strategy-and-corporate-finance\/our-insights\/five-fifty-the-quickening\">Mckinsey<\/a>, US eCommerce penetration has witnessed 10 years of growth in just three months. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\">More students are now preferring online shopping, increasing package volume\u202fat educational institutions. A mid-size university in the US receives almost <strong>120,000 packages<\/strong> annually for students and faculty. Although eCommerce is the main triggering point in generating most of these shipments, various other incoming packages such as time-sensitive medical supplies and personal documents also contribute to this massive package influx. Similarly, shipping packages in greater numbers is also difficult for universities and colleges as shipping label generation is time-consuming on legacy systems and the current mix of shipping providers is limited. \u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\">Therefore, to simplify mail and package management at educational institutions, PackageX has introduced a <strong>modern<\/strong>, <strong>unified<\/strong>, <strong>secure<\/strong> and <strong>reliable<\/strong> logistics solution that offers greater visibility, increased efficiency, and superior experience.\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How is PackageX Solving the Problem?&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\">To enable digital mail and package management for educational institutions, PackageX logistics platform is excited to launch easy-to-use Apps &amp; APIs, including:&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Receive<\/strong> &ndash; Automates package receiving operations at campuses<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Dispatch<\/strong> &ndash; Makes shipping label generation easy&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Label OCR API<\/strong> &ndash; Converts any smart device into a universal label scanner&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" dir=\"ltr\">These Apps &amp; APIs optimize package management and shipping solutions at educational institutions and help them track every parcel that enters or leaves the campus.
