A system for securing a delivery, the system comprising: a secured container comprising a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism comprising a barcode scanner; a database configured to store a first locking mechanism identifier uniquely identifying the locking mechanism; and a processor operatively connected to the database, wherein the processor is operatively configured to: receive a first delivery identifier from a third party system associated with a courier of a delivery and store the first delivery identifier in the database in association with the first locking mechanism identifier; receive, from the locking mechanism, a second locking mechanism identifier and a second delivery identifier corresponding to the delivery that uniquely identifies the delivery, the second delivery identifier being derived by the barcode scanner from a scan of a barcode on the delivery; validate that the delivery should be secured in the secured container by comparing the second delivery identifier and the second locking mechanism identifier from the locking mechanism to the first delivery identifier and the first locking mechanism identifier stored in the database; and upon validation that the delivery should be secured in the secured container, transmit, to the locking mechanism, instructions to open so that the delivery may be secured in the secured container. a secured container comprising a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism comprising a barcode scanner; a database configured to store a first locking mechanism identifier uniquely identifying the locking mechanism; and a processor operatively connected to the database, wherein the processor is operatively configured to: receive a first delivery identifier from a third party system associated with a courier of a delivery and store the first delivery identifier in the database in association with the first locking mechanism identifier; receive, from the locking mechanism, a second locking mechanism identifier and a second delivery identifier corresponding to the delivery that uniquely identifies the delivery, the second delivery identifier being derived by the barcode scanner from a scan of a barcode on the delivery; validate that the delivery should be secured in the secured container by comparing the second delivery identifier and the second locking mechanism identifier from the locking mechanism to the first delivery identifier and the first locking mechanism identifier stored in the database; and upon validation that the delivery should be secured in the secured container, transmit, to the locking mechanism, instructions to open so that the delivery may be secured in the secured container. receive a first delivery identifier from a third party system associated with a courier of a delivery and store the first delivery identifier in the database in association with the first locking mechanism identifier; receive, from the locking mechanism, a second locking mechanism identifier and a second delivery identifier corresponding to the delivery that uniquely identifies the delivery, the second delivery identifier being derived by the barcode scanner from a scan of a barcode on the delivery; validate that the delivery should be secured in the secured container by comparing the second delivery identifier and the second locking mechanism identifier from the locking mechanism to the first delivery identifier and the first locking mechanism identifier stored in the database; and upon validation that the delivery should be secured in the secured container, transmit, to the locking mechanism, instructions to open so that the delivery may be secured in the secured container.
