It’s all possible.

You can easily change the use for any single locker or locker bank with our user-friendly software — even remotely. Simply connect to your active directory to define access for different users and offer the on-demand convenience and hassle-free storage your campus community wants.

How Smart Lockers Work

High-quality, sturdy smart-university lockers connect with secure, cloud-based software that seamlessly integrates with your school’s active directory, course management system, student registration or student tracking systems, payment platforms, and more.

Any member or group of your campus community can reserve, release, or share lockers from onsite operating terminals or their smart locker apps. They can use campus IDs, near-field communications, QR codes, biometrics, or other options to access reservations - avoiding the frustration of lost keys or forgotten combinations.

Campus administrators enjoy access to real-time data in a cloud-based management application that allows remote access and dynamic configurations. Save up to 90% of time previously expended on assigning, opening, and releasing lockers with an automated solution. You can even consolidate all campus lockers in a single management system to further optimize storage solutions.

Types of Smart University Lockers

Our smart college lockers are configurable for any situation that might come up on your campus. Tailor your smart locker system to fit your dynamic needs—and adapt and scale with future changes.

Student Union Lockers

Student unions are important campus hubs, with students coming through at all hours. Let your students catch up with friends, attend a club meeting, have a study session, or grab a bite without worrying about where to put personal belongings.

Sports Lockers

Let campus athletes and fitness enthusiasts of any level take advantage of convenient smart lockers that they can reserve in advance and open with a smartphone, campus ID, QR code, or other connected device. Or, make additional revenue for your athletics department by renting lockers to visitors.

Support productivity by setting up lockers for 24/7 resource hand-off, including audio-visual equipment distribution, IT equipment repair exchanges, and other self-service retrieval requests.

Mailroom Lockers

Student online shopping means campus shipping volumes are growing dramatically. College mailrooms can be overwhelmed with e-commerce deliveries, along with the important document handling and other responsibilities mailrooms fulfill for faculty and staff.

Performing Arts Lockers

Whether your students are performing onstage or practicing in rehearsal rooms, they’ll be better able to focus on their craft if they know their personal belongings are secure. Plus, install smart lockers in a venue lobby for visitors to secure their coats and bags to create a more welcoming, comfortable audience experience.

Academic Lockers

With smart college lockers, you can give students and faculty a simple and secure way to store their personal belongings between classes.
