Smart lockers technology allows businesses to track device usage, inventory and assets in a secure and convenient way. As a result, organizations can achieve better visibility, reduced asset losses, and improved workplace productivity, office space efficiency, and employee convenience.
Smart lockers technology systems can also be linked to other software systems within the workplace for a seamless experience. For example, LoQit’s smart locker management system is built in such a way that it can easily be linked and even fully integrated with existing workplace applications such as company messaging tools (like Microsoft Teams or Slack), employee ID systems like Entra ID and Jira, and more.
Smart Lockers Technology: How It’s Revolutionizing Storage
With these easy integrations, employees can use one of multiple sign-in methods to unlock a locker – be it a swipe card, QR code or biometrics. This allows employees to quickly get the equipment they need and return it when no longer needed, eliminating the need for a central storage area. This makes it super convenient for employees who are bringing their own personal devices to the workplace and need on-demand access to specific work tools, or for new hires to collect onboarding materials and equipment from smart lockers.
Another benefit of smart lockers is that every transaction is logged – making it easy for managers to identify and solve issues related to equipment re-distribution. For example, a wired USB connection in the locker can detect device failure and maintenance-related issues, which could be instantly reflected in the organization’s operating system or CMMS platform to prevent further re-issues of the device while simultaneously notifying IT support teams.
