University Smart Lockers
with mobile credentials on a smartphone or watch
The future of campus credentials is a mix of mobile, biometrics, and traditional plastic ID cards
Contactless credentials have, in some cases, seamlessly slotted into the new socially distant way of life on campus.
The move from physical cards to a mobile University Card on smart devices allows for smart locker access that is safe and convenient.
Students simply hold an iPhone or Apple Watch within 6 inches of a smart locker bank and a door pops open – touchless experience. Lockers can be assigned, unassigned (temporary use) or pick-up lockers.
benefits of contactless credentials for lockers:
Increased security and decreased fraud. Students are less likely to share their phone with a peer for locker access or payments than an ID card. Contactless credentials are the safest, healthiest, and most secure form of a campus IDs. It’s easier and faster to provision mobile credentials on a smartphone or watch than it is to print and distribute plastic cards.
seamlessly use lockers throughout campus with your contactless mobile credential
Reimagine locker use on your campus
What if you could use the same contactless credential that you use to buy food, order from grubhub, get into your dorm to access or reserve a locker at the fitness center or store an extra jacket or snack in locker on campus? – Or pickup a book from the library smart lockers? Maybe even get food delivered to a smart locker and retrieve it with your mobile credentials.
The old rental forms for lockers are a thing of the past. Rent a locker when you need one, where it’s convenient for you and with a process that’s second nature (your phone).
Bring all of your auxiliary services together to create an elevated, engaging student experience.
Student ID Cards on iPhones and Apple Watches provide an extra level of security and privacy, so students do not need to worry about misplacing their physical card. If a student misplaces their iPhone or Apple Watch, they can use the Find My app to immediately lock their device and help locate it.
Smart Lockers on a college or university campus help enable a safe, clean and enhanced student experience. Rethink your locker strategy and allow students frictionless use of lockers throughout campus for personal storage, food delivery, book retrieval from libraries and much more.

what if renting or using a locker on campus was as simple as presenting your phone to the locker bank?
How much more would the lockers get used? How much better of a user/campus experience would that provide? What if you could contactlessly exchange goods (books, food, equipment, prescriptions, etc…) by swiping your phone at a bank of lockers. How much administrative and facility time could you save if you had an electronic system of renting lockers, opening lockers and assigning lockers? How much safer would your campus be if you could open all lockers with a touch of a button? What if your cleaning staff knew exactly which lockers needed to be cleaned each day?
