Metra smart locking technology is extremely flexible and user-centric. You can adapt it to your organisation and preferred ways of use on the fly. Lockers can be permanently assigned, self-assigned, rented, used for delivery & pick up or shared. Our locker management system allows you to configure lockers to your dynamic at any time without even going near the lockers. Change permanent lockers to short-time use, change or add locker media, make a personal locker a project locker or make other changes, for individual locker or multiple lockers. Choose what fits best for your type of company/ organisation or business.
Short-term, temporary locker use – Smart short-term lockers, also called flexible or agile lockers, are either self-assigned by the user or are auto-assigned by the system for a specific, shorter time period, depending on preferences.
Long-term locker use – Smart long-term lockers, sometime also called permanent or personal lockers, are usually preassigned from locker management software for a longer time frame.
Shared locker use is where there are two or more preselected users who can simultaneously access and use the smart locker. Usually used for safely storing project, financial, meeting or other type documentation.
Smart delivery / Pick up lockers are used for inbound, outbound or in-house drop-offs and pick ups for employees, tenants or other users. A user, e.g. a courier or an employee, can access the locker once (to leave something in the locker), and only the preselected recipient can access the locker (to collect the item in the locker).
Combo locker use – Our smart locker system gives you an option to freely combine short- and long-term locker use for the most tailored locker use, either on individual locker, locker bank or the whole locker installation.
