KeyNest Selects Quadient’s Open Locker Network to Expand Convenient
Key Exchange Services to Consumers in the UK
Quadient (Euronext Paris: QDT), a leader in
helping businesses create meaningful customer connections through
digital and physical channels and a major global parcel locker
operator, announced today that KeyNest, a global key exchange
service for Airbnb hosts and property professionals, has signed an
exclusive agreement with Quadient for a national partnership in the
UK. Under the new agreement, Quadient's open locker network,
already used by millions of consumers across the country, now
offers a new convenient service, expanding beyond parcel
delivery.
Parcel Pending by Quadient lockers can now be
used in the UK to securely store and exchange physical keys in
multiple cases, including between friends and family, for Airbnb
rentals, cleaning services, property management, car sharing and
more. To access a Quadient locker, users connect to their
KeyNest.com account and select a locker at a convenient location.
When at the locker, they simply scan their KeyNest QR code to open
a small compartment to safely leave their keys until they are
collected by their chosen person, who will use a single-use 8-digit
code generated by Quadient’s cloud-based automated notification
system.
“We are proud of the expansion of our open
network offer with KeyNest’s services, proving the attractiveness
of our open locker network today. We continue to focus on expanding
the reach and usage of our network, providing a seamless pickup and
delivery experience that is sustainable to businesses and consumers
alike,” said Katia Bourgeais-Crémel, Director of Parcel Locker
Solutions Europe at Quadient. “Parcel Pending by Quadient lockers
have become integral to UK consumer habits, located within their
communities, and providing services that bring value to their daily
lives. We are very happy to be achieving a new milestone in the
expansion of our network usage with KeyNest and look forward to
continuing to bring to market innovations that meet the changing
needs of our customers and users.”
Quadient's network is strategically positioned
in high-traffic areas such as Rontec and MFG forecourts, Stonegate
Group pubs, and APCOA parking sites. With key safes gradually
getting banned from public spaces in most UK cities due to security
concerns, KeyNest’s value proposition is to provide a convenient
key exchange service which is widely used across the property
management industry in over 7,000 locations worldwide, including
over 2,000 in the UK alone. With the addition of Parcel Pending by
Quadient smart lockers to their offer, KeyNest will be able to
streamline everyday tasks for local residents and facilitate
seamless interactions between hosts, contractors, property
managers, housing associations and real estate agents, who need to
access properties at various times of the day.
"Quadient is the leading network of parcel
lockers, not just from the breadth and depth of their network but
thanks to its robust technology platform, which has enabled us to
invest into a seamless integration. We are delighted to announce
that Quadient lockers will be compatible with KeyNest’s direct
integrations with Airbnb, Booking.com and over 120 property
management software solutions” said Florian Hoven, CEO of
KeyNest.“KeyNest is dedicated to enhancing the key exchange
experience for both businesses that need to give access to
thousands of properties, as well as individual customers, who are
just looking to pass a key to a friend or a family member. We’re
excited to offer our key exchange points not just in big cities,
but also in more town-based locations in the UK.”
