Company & Evolution

About 15 years ago, a group of innovators set out to bring traditional vending online. Today, we are one of the few European manufacturers (hardware & software) of large-scale retail robotics.

POS automation, digitalization, and self-service have reached mainstream retail. Our customers sell their own products 24/7 under their brand directly to consumers (B2C)—both at existing locations and alternative sites to increase presence and visibility.

  • A hybrid of both systems—depending on the assortment.

Software & Data

All solutions are powered by software: a front end (web-shop UI on screen) and a portal. This generates analytics-grade data not available from conventional machines, while consumers benefit from a modern digital UX and its possibilities.

Installation Advantages

  • 24/7 operation—no opening-hour limits.
  • Low vandalism risk (no direct access to goods/cash).
  • Small portal width required.
  • Cart function enables multi-item purchases.
  • Built-in or free-standing setups—even away from the main site.
  • Low operating costs and rapid return on investment (ROI).

More Than Lockers: Integrated in the Workplace

The concept of intelligent lockers, particularly for IT and device management within companies, represents a significant advancement in workplace efficiency and the security of IT infrastructure. Intelligent lockers enable an optimized process for the management, distribution, and maintenance of IT devices, thereby improving productivity and security in corporate environments.

IT departments appreciate the straightforward management of company devices, which allows for quick deployment, replacement, and return — ensuring employees are well-equipped without the need for a personal handover.

Efficiency and Security: By automating workflows and providing secure, digital access, intelligent lockers save considerable time in administration and reduce the risk of lost or misplaced items.

Similar to our competitor (120,000 users across 50 companies in 10 countries), the structured and controlled issuance and return of work equipment — both upon onboarding and on the last working day — as well as the lending process, are of great importance.

Reduction of Workload for Staff: Through self-service, personnel resources are freed up for more valuable tasks instead of routine duties — while at the same time offering your customers greater flexibility and therefore a better service!

Contributing to addressing the labor shortage caused by declining interest in the industry, rising costs, and regulatory changes.

Cost reduction while simultaneously increasing customer satisfaction. Low operating costs and a fast Return on Investment (ROI).

Labor Shortage Demands Even Greater Workplace Efficiency

Skilled employees are the most critical bottleneck and success factor for growth and development across many industries and companies. While hiring new staff may seem like the ideal solution, reskilling existing employees can close the skills gap even faster and more cost-effectively.

Almost all "white-collar" jobs and already a large portion of "blue-collar" 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 such as inventory management, rental tracking, and billing, OfficeButler24 gives IT and administrative teams valuable time to focus on strategic initiatives. In addition, it reduces overconsumption and ensures that all resources are used effectively. Say goodbye to inefficiencies and welcome smarter, more transparent office operations.

In today's modern working world, efficiency is a must. Employees need seamless access to IT devices and resources in order to perform at their best. OfficeButler24 ensures that employees have exactly what they need — when they need it. It is an intelligent system that automates distribution, tracks usage, and optimizes processes to reduce inefficiencies and ensure security.

More Than Lockers: Workplace Implementation

The concept of intelligent lockers, particularly for IT and device management within companies, represents a significant advancement in workplace efficiency and asset security. Intelligent lockers enable an optimized process for the management, distribution, and maintenance of IT devices, thereby improving productivity and security in corporate environments.

Successful workplace workflows are characterized by streamlined and straightforward processes. However, processes in corporate IT departments are often complex and time-consuming, as a wide variety of IT hardware products — including PCs, USB drives, SIM cards, and more — are handled at 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 better-regulated process, but above all to a reduction in overconsumption and the elimination of the risk of loss.

End-user support is all about reliability, speed, and availability.

Especially in today's world, shaped by freelancing and remote work, multiple use cases arise in which the automated distribution and return of IT hardware is a decisive success factor.

Solution modules

Combine terminal, locker, and analytics building blocks to digitise distribution, returns, and replenishment across every location.

Hybrid Working Can Save Costs

Hybrid working is not just a passing trend - it is the new normal.

A flexible, well-organized work environment and IT technology are equally essential for optimizing remote work and seamless collaboration.

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

OfficeButler24 supports local IT support or extends service hours to 24/7 operations, reducing downtime and shortening waiting times. OfficeButler24 is a modular and expandable digital furniture piece, designed to fit your devices. OfficeButler24 improves the efficiency and reliability of your IT organization and ensures satisfied users.

Intelligent vending machines use 24/7 technology to dispense a wide range of products from a shelving system. User authentication can be carried out similarly to a locker system, while these machines utilize a large touchscreen for user interaction, cashless payment, and a cloud-based portal system for managing and monitoring all transactions in real time — including inventory, sales statistics, user data, fiscalization, and logging, and more.
