Hold, then deliver

Stored under custody, released on your clock

Pick up, scan, store, and deliver at a time you choose. Not a locker you have to come back to — a movement with a delivery at the end of it.

Drop off, and collect or have it delivered later.

What this service handles

Ordinary bag storage solves half a problem. You are free of your suitcase, but you are tied to the place you left it, and the day ends with a journey back across the city to collect it.

VaultPac's storage is the middle of a movement rather than the end of one. The bags are collected, tagged and scanned into custody, held securely, and then delivered — to a hotel, a residence, an airport, an office, a cruise terminal — at a time you set when you book. You do not come back for them.

It is also the thing that makes every other luggage movement work. An arrival at eleven with a room ready at three, a check-out at eleven with a flight at seven, a convention where three hundred bags need somewhere to be between the closing session and the airport runs: the holding period is what turns two awkward times into one plan.

How VaultPac coordinates it

Every booking is a trip. A trip carries trip services, and each service breaks into the individual movements that actually have to happen — which is why the people and the bags do not have to travel the same way.

  1. Trip
  2. Trip services
  3. Individual movements
  • Secure storage between movements

    Items can be held under custody between a pickup and a delivery, and released on a schedule rather than on arrival.

  • QR custody scan

    Every bag carries a tag. Each change of hands is scanned, so custody is a record rather than a recollection.

  • Proof of pickup

    Time, place and who released the item, captured at collection.

  • Proof of delivery

    Time, place and who received the item, captured at delivery.

  • Luggage movement

    Bags booked as their own movement, with their own route, their own timing and their own proof.

  • Oversized & special items

    Golf bags, trade-show cases, strollers, production cases and similar items counted on the movement so the right vehicle is assigned.

  • Dispatch monitoring

    Every movement on one board while it runs, so a late arrival is seen rather than reported.

  • Trip → Trip Services → Movements

    One trip holds every service on it, and each service breaks into the individual movements that have to happen. A single booking can carry people and bags on different vehicles and different clocks without becoming two bookings.

What runs this movement

Assignment reads the passenger count and the bag count, so the vehicle that arrives fits both. Larger movements run several.

Why VaultPac for this

  • Storage ends in a delivery, so you are not tied to the place you left your bags.
  • The release is timed. A room ready at three gets its bags at three.
  • Custody is scanned in and scanned out, so the holding period is documented like the rest of the movement.
  • Scales from one suitcase to a convention's worth without changing how it is booked.

Questions

Do I have to collect the bags myself?

No, and that is the difference from a locker or a left-luggage counter. Storage is the middle of a movement: you set the delivery point and window when you book, and the bags come to you.

How long can bags be held?

From a few hours to several days. Pricing is per bag per day, so a long hold is priced as one rather than as a series of separate bookings.

Is the storage monitored?

Yes — the facility is video monitored, and access to a bag is a scan against the custody record rather than an unrecorded handoff.
