A smart solution for shared usage
Smart lockers offer an efficient, automated solution for renting tools, sports gear, cargo bikes and other everyday items. The customer reserves conveniently through a web app and receives precise pickup and return instructions after the booking. The flexible availability of products that users only need occasionally — like a power drill — is a sustainable, resource-saving offering that follows the principle of the sharing economy: rent instead of buy.
Key benefits at a glance
Customers can pick up and return products whenever they want — outside of opening hours and without queueing. The software uses advanced authentication methods to prevent unauthorised access. Renting instead of buying conserves resources — pickup stations in residential areas or at supermarkets save unnecessary trips.
How it works
The entire rental flow is automated — from booking and payment to pickup and return.
Booking and management: Customers see product availability in the web app and book directly.
Pickup: Customers receive precise pickup and return details and status updates via web app or email.
Secure handling: Only the authorised recipient gets access; transaction data is protected.
Reporting and analytics: Comprehensive reporting and analytics in the admin portal.
An attractive building block for modern neighbourhood and site development
The benefits of automated product rental are obvious. Tenants save on acquisition costs without giving up usage. The offer is available 24/7 — conveniently at their doorstep. The environment benefits because resources are saved and waste is reduced. Housing operators, municipalities and retailers benefit from satisfied users and additional revenue.
