Beyond Lockers: Implementation in the Workplace

The concept of smart lockers, particularly for IT and device management within companies, represents a significant leap in workplace efficiency and asset security. Smart lockers facilitate a streamlined process for managing, distributing, and maintaining IT equipment, enhancing productivity and security in corporate environments.

Tech departments appreciate the ease of managing company devices, allowing for swift deployment, exchange, and return, thus keeping the workforce well-equipped without the need for personal hand-offs.

Efficiency and Security: By automating workflows and providing secure, digital access, smart lockers save significant management time and reduce the risk of lost or misplaced items.

Similar to our competitor (120,000 users at 50 companies in 10 countries), structured and controlled issuance and return of work equipment (onboarding and last day of work) as well as loaning are very important.

Reduce staff workload: Self-service frees up staff resources for more valuable activities instead of routine tasks – at the same time, you offer your customers greater flexibility and thus better service.

Help combat labor shortages due to declining interest in the industry, rising costs, and regulatory changes.

Reduce costs while increasing customer satisfaction. Low operating costs and rapid return on investment (ROI).

Labour Shortage Require Even More Workplace Efficiency

Qualified employees are the primary bottleneck and success factor for many industries and companies for further growth and development.

While hiring may seem like the ideal solution, retraining employees can close the skills gap even faster and at a lower cost.

Almost all "white-colored" jobs and already a large portion of "blue-colored" jobs can only be performed with the necessary IT hardware and communication infrastructure. Providing the best possible support for employees with the goal of zero downtime or inefficiencies must be a priority for every IT field service provider.

By automating routine tasks like inventory management, rental tracking, and billing, OfficeButler24 frees up valuable time for IT and administrative teams to focus on strategic initiatives. Additionally, it reduces waste and ensures that every resource is utilized effectively.

Say goodbye to inefficiencies and hello to smarter, more transparent office operations. In today’s modern work environment, efficiency is a necessity. Employees are in need of seamless access to IT equipment and resources to support their best performance.

OfficeButler24 ensures employees have what they need, exactly when they need it - it’s an intelligent system that automates distribution, tracks usage, and streamlines processes to reduce inefficiencies and ensure security.

Beyond Lockers: Implementation in the Workplace

The concept of smart lockers, particularly for IT and device management within companies, represents a significant leap in workplace efficiency and asset security. Smart lockers facilitate a streamlined process for managing, distributing, and maintaining IT equipment, enhancing productivity and security in corporate environments.

Successful workflows at the workplace are characterized by simplified and as simple as possible processes. However, processes in companies' IT departments are often complex and time-consuming due to the fact that a wide variety of IT hardware products, including PCs, USB sticks, SIM cards, etc., are manipulated at a high frequency.

The goal is therefore to largely automate IT asset management and the distribution of critical IT hardware. This not only leads to a more regulated process, but especially to a reduction in excess consumption and the elimination of loss risks.

End-user support revolves around reliability, speed, and availability. Especially in today's world characterized by freelancing and remote work, several use cases are emerging in which the automated distribution and return of IT hardware is a decisive factor for success.

Hybrid Work Can Save Costs

Hybrid work is not just a temporary trend but the new norm.

A flexible, well organised work environments and IT technology are equally key in optimizing remote work and seamless collaboration.

How to combine an IT vending machine with an locker system.

Smart vending machines uses 24/7 technology to dispense a wide range of products out of shelfing system. User authentification can be similar like with locker system while those machines use large touchscreen for user interaction, cashless payment and a cloud based portal system to manage and monitor any transaction real-time (stocks, sales statistics, user data, fiscalisation and logging, etc.)

The cutting-edge operational software manages a wide range of process and can be seamlessly integrated into customers ticketing / ordering landscape (e.g. JIRA, ServiceNow) and ERP System (e.g. SAP) to improve transparency and efficiency.

The integration of this kind of IT vending / locker system allows to monitor locker access, stock levels, track any user interaction, offering comprehensive reports on any activity.

In this way there is a one size fits all solution leveraging advantages from both functionalities.

Plug & play integration into existing solutions and connection via APIs enables a quick go-live. Users identify themselves via badge, PIN, or QR code, and notebooks, smartphones, headsets, and all kinds of accessories are immediately available.

The core essence of an IT dispensing machine is its ability to document all processes. The automation solution can also be linked to ERP systems, leading to seamless inventory of IT equipment. All inventory and transaction data can be viewed and managed in a software portal.

About 15 years ago, a group of innovators had the idea of bringing traditional lockers online.

Today, we are one of the few manufacturers (hardware and software) focusing on intra-logistics in big, multi-location institutions and corporates.

New Work equals automation, digitalization, and self-service and have reached mainstream in organisations of any size or nature.

Our customers implementing OfficeButler24 into their flows wherever physical items are exchanges between internal or with external users mostly at their locations.

In the office, on the shopfloor, in operations, and at alternative locations.

In particular by analyzing of transactions and use behavior data we collect information for business process optimizations, detection of a-normal behavior and do have a sound basis for documention.
