Position Imaging Launches Reseller And Referral Partner Programs For Smart Package Room
Company Sees New Revenue Opportunities For Installers And Dealers As Demand Increases In Multifamily Housing For Package Delivery Management Solutions
STRATHAM, NH – January 19, 2022 – Position Imaging, Inc, a pioneer in package logistics and asset tracking, today announced its new Smart Package Room Partner Programs. The new programs are designed to expand resellers' product offerings with the Smart Package Room (SPR) and iPickup Room (IPR) package management solutions.

The demand for an automated package management solution has been driven by a dramatic increase in online ordering. According to Bloomberg.com, online spending totaled $8.9 billion on Black Friday, and data from Adobe Analytics states that U.S. shoppers spent $10.7 billion on Cyber Monday. All this cyber shopping creates an enormous number of packages to be received, logged, secured, and notifications sent to residents living in multifamily communities—placing a great deal of stress on apartment managers and staff.
However, this package delivery burden also creates an opportunity for Position Imaging’s partners to resell the company’s Smart Package Room solution. This solution is a proven, computer-vision-based system that is easily installed and offers a secure area for all package sizes while allowing residents 24/7 access without the need for staff intervention.
In an area that has not experienced much innovation, Position Imaging has created a seamless solution that fits the needs of modern multifamily properties. The Smart Package Room is aligned with the shift towards online ordering and for residents looking for a simple, convenient, and secure method to retrieve their items.
"The partnership program at Position Imaging gives our partners selling into the same space the ability to broaden the portfolio of products they offer their clients with the most advanced solutions on the market. We're looking to work closely with our partners to create mutually beneficial relationships that grow together through innovation and delivering greater value together,” said Jacqueline Cournoyer, Director of Dealer Relations, Position Imaging.
With so much opportunity to sell into multiple markets installers, access control, security integrators, and others interested in becoming partners can now sell these solutions directly to their customers. Position Imaging's partner programs include:
Referral Program - Position Imaging and partners share mutual leads that complement each organization’s multifamily housing technologies, allowing them to expand their brands through qualified introductions.
Referral Program partner, ePropertyCare is comprised of experienced entrepreneurs, technology executives, and real estate strategists. The company was created to increase operational efficiency in their own real estate portfolios and is passionate about innovative PropTech that pays for itself to create a lifetime of savings.
“We selected Position Imaging as our partner for package delivery room technology because of their thought leadership in the PropTech space,” said referral partner, Jeff Hoch, Chief Revenue Officer, ePropertyCare Corporation. “As a firm that works with multifamily owners, operators, and developers every day, ePropertyCare wants to not only provide an exceptional smart apartment/smart building technology package, we also want our clients to leverage our partner ecosystem as their one-stop-shop for everything they need to technologically advance their operations. We firmly believe that like-minded firms can do exceptional things together.”
Traditional Reseller Program - Position Imaging will market and support partners to nurture and close Smart Package Room sales. Traditional Reseller program partner, All About Security, specializes in card readers, cameras, telephone entry’s, and emergency call stations for mid/high rise, multifamily, and commercial properties in the D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia region.
“As a company that prides itself on innovation, we decided to become a reseller partner because not only does it fit with what we like to do, but their technology, engineering, design, and thought process is incredible!” said Howard Hunter, Security Integrator, All About Security. “Position Imaging has raised the bar on how the world views smart packaging rooms, and we look forward to more innovative technology and collaborations in the near future.”

Further, the 42mm product line can integrate seamlessly with the 28mm system.
The flow rack features Five supply levels and one return level on the bottom for product presentation in a modified stair-stepped setup. The flow rack design utilizes Creform’s low friction L shaped gray colored slide pipe for the top 4 levels. The L shaped slide pipe provides containment on both sides to secure the boxes effectively in each lane. Creform’s highly efficient skate wheel conveyor is utilized on the bottom supply level and on the return level. Both of these levels have the conveyors located evenly spaced to accommodate many different sized boxes.

Des Plaines, Illinois – Loren Swakow, Managing Director of NOBLELIFT North America, has announced his retirement effective January 31st, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of unprecedented growth, innovation, and strong relationships built over nearly a decade at the helm of the company.
Swakow joined NOBLELIFT in October 2016, tasked with the challenge of bringing an unknown brand into the highly competitive American market. At the time, NOBLELIFT had no dealer network and minimal brand recognition. Over the course of eight years, Swakow's strategic leadership and expertise have led to remarkable success, driving average annual growth of 43%. Today, NOBLELIFT is supported by a professional dealer network spanning the entire country, with sales growth consistently outpacing the industry, a true testament to Swakow’s vision and determination.
Swakow’s leadership also played a key role in expanding NOBLELIFT's footprint into Canada by helping to establish NOBLELIFT Canada. His unwavering belief in the brand and dedication to fostering partnerships were critical to this growth.
Reflecting on his tenure, Swakow remarked, “It takes a great team to do what we did in eight years, and that’s what we have—A Great Team! I have always believed in fostering open communication, creating a culture of trust, empowering individuals, leveraging diverse perspectives, and prioritizing collaboration. We have all worked very hard, and I am proud of them all.”
Swakow’s career in the material handling industry began long before his time at NOBLELIFT. He co-founded a lift truck dealership with his brother, representing brands like Komatsu, Mitsubishi, Tailift, and TCM. After decades of success, they sold the dealership and related businesses in 2012. Swakow also played a key role in the wider industry, serving as a founding member and Presidentof the Chicago Industrial Truck Dealers Association and as President of MHEDA (Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association) in 2004. His strong belief in the power of networking was critical to the formation of NOBLELIFT North America.
"MHEDA has always been the optimal association for networking," Swakow stated. "The connections and insights I gained through MHEDA were invaluable as we built NOBLELIFT North America from the ground up."
The succession plan for Swakow's role has been set, with the announcement of his successor scheduled for January 7th, 2025. Through January, Swakow will collaborate closely with his successor to ensure a smooth handover of responsibilities and to share his insights and guidance.
“We are grateful for Loren’s remarkable contributions to NOBLELIFT North America,” stated Wendy Mao, CEO at Noblelift Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. “His vision and passion have been instrumental in shaping our success. We are committed to building on the strong foundation he has established.”
Swakow’s dedication to excellence, his ability to inspire trust, and his relentless pursuit of success will leave a lasting impact on the material handling industry. While the company expresses enormous gratitude for his leadership, it is clear that his legacy will continue to guide NOBLELIFT on its upward trajectory.
