London, September 2017 – In Sweden, a new smart door lock from ASSA ABLOY is making the “While you were out …” delivery card a thing of the past. PostNord customers can now choose to have parcels delivered inside their front door, if it is equipped with an ASSA ABLOY smart lock.

“It should be simple and convenient to shop online,” says Johan Hellman, Head of eCommerce at PostNord. “We’ll now be able to deliver items inside the front door in a secure way. The recipient doesn’t need to be at home or be available at a particular time, which makes it both simple and convenient.”

PostNord customers can have parcels delivered inside their door when it is equipped with an ASSA ABLOY smart lock. Authorised PostNord drivers receive a single-use PIN code to open the door.

The new service works via a PIN code issued automatically to an authorised PostNord delivery driver. The code opens a recipient’s front door just once, so PostNord can leave a parcel on the inside. Now, there’s no need for customers to wait in all day, or make a special journey to a collection point. It is another real-world example of smart door locks making life easier.

We’ll now be able to deliver items inside the front door in a secure way. The recipient doesn’t need to be at home or be available at a particular time, which makes it both simple and convenient.

The new service is simple to operate. Customers select home delivery from a participating e-retailer, in the usual way, and approve a specific delivery time slot using their mobile phone. If customers select the “home delivery inside the front door” option, their PostNord driver automatically receives a single-use PIN code to open the lock. The code becomes invalid instantly and automatically after delivery; the customer’s phone is notified again when the parcel is delivered.

A pilot project is already under way in Lerum, near Gothenburg, in conjunction with some of Scandinavia’s major e-retailers. Approximately 100 households are trialling this new, ultra-convenient delivery option.

With smart door locks such as the Yale Doorman from ASSA ABLOY, customers can securely avail themselves of different services without having to be at home.
With secure smart door locks such as the Yale Doorman lock from ASSA ABLOY, customers can take advantage of different services without having to be home.

“With new and innovative products, such as our Yale Doorman lock, customers have an opportunity to simply and securely avail themselves of different services without having to be at home,” says Kristoffer Wadman, Director Business Development at ASSA ABLOY Scandinavia.

The project illustrates one of many ways a smart door lock can boost convenience and security for everyone. With a smart front door, homeowners no longer have to carry cumbersome keys; there’s no need to cut a spare set for a cleaner, the kids, or a cat-sitter. With a smart lock, you can let guests in remotely via an app, send them a digital key, or provide a temporary or single-use PIN to open the door. Digital keys are also safer than metal ones: they can’t be copied or stolen, and can be instantly revoked if they fall into the wrong hands.
