Managing corporate campus logistics efficiently is a challenging task, especially for a global entertainment company with multiple high-volume office and warehouse facilities spread across North America.
With an average of 400–500 packages arriving daily at each location, their internal teams were struggling to keep up with manual package logging, scattered delivery workflows, and siloed systems. Adding rising costs from outsourced inventory management and outdated locker hardware, the cracks in their operations were starting to show.
To tackle these growing inefficiencies, the company partnered with PackageX, an AI-powered logistics platform designed to simplify everything from package tracking and last-mile delivery to inventory management.
We’ll now explore the entertainment company's logistics pain points and the strategic role PackageX played in resolving them.
How Fragmented Workflows Impacted Corporate Campus Logistics Efficiency?
What started as a package management overhaul quickly evolved into a full-scale transformation, giving the company a smarter, unified system that’s built to scale with its business.
As operations expanded across offices and warehouse hubs, managing inbound packages and assets became increasingly complex. The organization faced several recurring challenges that highlighted the need for a modern logistics solution:
- Manual processing overhead:
Package check-in consumed 2–3 hours daily at each location, straining lean workplace operations teams. - Fragmented systems:
Package tracking, inventory, and procurement tools operated in silos, resulting in inconsistent data and inefficient handoffs. - Inflexible locker infrastructure:
Legacy locker systems lacked integration capabilities and were unable to support intelligent delivery workflows. - Limited visibility into performance:
Teams had no centralized way to monitor KPIs such as delivery time, scan accuracy, or SLA compliance, making it difficult to measure and improve service levels. - High inventory handling costs:
Offsite warehouse vendors were utilized for inventory management, resulting in over $500,000 in annual operating expenses. - Scalability concerns:
With a distributed workforce of over 20,000 employees, there was no standardized framework for package and asset management across sites.
These issues were impacting operational efficiency, employee experience, and cost control. It became clear that a scalable, enterprise-grade logistics platform was required, one that could centralize workflows, integrate with existing systems, and provide real-time visibility across all locations.
The objective was to achieve a unified solution for modernizing the management of packages, assets, and deliveries at scale.
How PackageX Transformed the Logistics Operations?
To meet the growing demands of corporate campus logistics, the company deployed the PackageX Logistics Cloud, an intelligent, end-to-end platform built for speed, accuracy, and scalability.
Here’s how PackageX addressed its core challenges:

Added capabilities for tracking inbound assets, managing return workflows, and shipping merchandise, all from one interface. - API-first design with enterprise integration support:
API’s connected seamlessly with existing platforms and SSO providers.
Early success metrics showed strong adoption across teams.
With PackageX, the company transitioned from manual inefficiencies to intelligent, AI-powered logistics built to scale.
Testing Core Workflows:
Before rolling out the solution for implementation, the company ran a controlled trial at contractor-operated sites across major U.S. cities. Through which it was demonstrated that the platform could handle high-volume logistics while simplifying day-to-day operations.
To replicate real-world conditions, the team:
- Uploaded a full employee directory of over 20,000 users.
- Defined success metrics: ease of use, routing accuracy, processing speed, and visibility.
- Set up integrations with mobile devices, lockers, and printers.
Focused on critical workflows:
- Label printing for internal routing and external shipments.
- Alternate name recognition, ensuring accurate recipient matching.
- Support for terminated employees to prevent delivery errors.
- Proof-of-delivery capture via photos and barcode scans.
- Mobile receiving is available on both iOS and Android for flexible use on the floor.
Despite the complexity, the team onboarded quickly and required minimal training. PackageX’s AI scanning solutions and intuitive interface stood out immediately.
Within weeks, the company confirmed:
- Manual tasks were significantly reduced by 50%.
- Routing accuracy improved across locations.
- Teams had full visibility into package movement in real time.
The result was clear. The solution was ready to scale.
Bringing Inventory In-House:
As the package tracking rollout progressed, the entertainment company faced a new challenge. That was outsourced inventory management. Their off-site warehousing model for handling test devices and merchandise was costing over $500,000 annually. It lacked visibility, speed, and flexibility.
PackageX stepped in with a dedicated inventory management solution.
This module gave the company the tools to take control of its assets without relying on third-party warehouses. Within weeks, they transitioned to a fully internal system built for scale.
Key capabilities included:
- Manifest-based receiving to log inbound shipments with accuracy.
- Barcode scanning for real-time asset tracking across locations.
- Automated fulfillment flows, including return label generation.
- Live shipping integrations to monitor delivery progress.
- Custom reporting for SFTP and internal audits.
The platform also integrated with the company’s existing tools:
- Workday for user and employee data.
- Internal ticketing systems to trigger asset movement.
- SFTP automation for daily expense and inventory reports.
This upgrade significantly reduced costs. It also improved turnaround times, eliminated manual tracking, and gave full control over asset visibility. By combining package tracking and inventory workflows in a single platform, the company unlocked a smarter way to manage workplace logistics.
Prepping for Launch:
The final phase of implementation focused on ensuring a smooth and risk-free transition. PackageX collaborated closely to align their systems, data, and workflows.
Here’s how the rollout was prepared:
- Legacy data migration:
Historical package data was mapped and imported from the previous system. - Soft launch enabled:
Teams gained early access to a sandbox environment to test workflows before the live cutover. - Hardware setup completed:
Printers, smart lockers, and SSO profiles were configured and validated across multiple locations. - Training & support:
Hands-on training materials were created. Feedback was gathered via Slack and on-site sessions to resolve gaps quickly.
PackageX also developed key features based on team feedback to enhance delivery workflows:
- Bulk action support to mark packages as “Delivery Unknown”
- Custom disclaimers for pickup or delivery requests
- Improved status clarity with “In Transit” and “Scheduled for Delivery” stages
The prep work ensured a controlled go-live with minimal disruption. By combining early access, hands-on training, and fast iteration, the company was ready to roll out a scalable, intelligent delivery system company-wide.
