smart buildings need smart storage
The idea of a flexible workspace with technology at the forefront is important for employee success. By providing a flexible workspace, employees can feel more comfortable adopting the hybrid work model as well as enjoying the freedom to choose how they want to work.
As companies look to upgrade their office — many are looking to smart building apps. These apps allow businesses to gain insight into how every inch of their space is being used and transition into new ways of working and amenities, such as unassigned desking, conference room usage and even employee storage space.

is your office aligned with the hybrid work model?
learn how smart lockers can help you adjust to the hybrid work model
learn moreIntroducing a hybrid work model will give you more space in the office for collaborative workspaces while still offering individual and quiet work zones. We have integrations with smart building apps ie. Comfy and RentYourLocker. With less employees in the office at any given time, reduce your desking and offer desk reservation systems in place of permanent desking. However, this can leave employees uneasy knowing they won’t have a ‘home base’ for personal items.
Once a nice-to-have amenity, smart lockers support your employees by providing a secure storage solution for all of their belongings. With many options for how employees can use smart lockers — take the employee experience to the next level by providing the ability to choose their desk and locker before even coming into the office with the smart building app.
easy integrations
Users have multiple ways to reserve a locker, making it a streamlined user experience. How users interact with the smart locker system is up to you and how the system is configured.
Easily integrate with your company app to give users everything they need right at their fingertips. With the hybrid work model, many companies allow employees to reserve a place to work — now employees can reserve a desk and a locker all in the same app. With an integration to the smart lockers, users won’t have to put any thought into reserving a space for their personal belongings.
locks so smart that they know when the locker needs cleaning.
a new definition of smart lockers:
Based on your administrative settings — not only do these lockers know when and if to release themselves from employee access — they also know when they need to be cleaned.
Give your employees a piece of mind by offering the ability to set their locker to be cleaned after a week’s worth of use or if unassigned set the lockers to automatically become disabled after use. Once the locker is cleaned, it will automatically become accessible for the next employee to use.
cleaning is more important than ever
With no locks mounted on the front of the locker doors for everyone to touch, cleaning the doors is even easier.
change how you use your lockers as often as your needs change
one locker bank...
Traditional workplace lockers are configured for one purpose and one purpose only. Either they are for temporary day-use or assigned use for employees.
Our smart networked lockers allow you to configure your locks in different ways in the same locker bank. Assign columns or individual lockers for visitors (day-use) and right next to those lockers configure lockers to be for permanent use for employees and even include columns for the exchange of goods — packages, IT equipment, food delivery, and more.
Your workplace isn’t stagnant — and sometimes you need to change your policies or procedures during times of change. Your lockers should help support and enable your strategies. Flexible technologies and frictionless experiences are here to stay.
