Encouraging Dynamic Workplaces with a Smart Locker Management System

With a smart locker management system, managers are in control of the dynamics of locker use. The desired dynamics varies per type of organisation and the amount of experience with Activity Based Working environments. The dynamics also vary from person to person within an organisation.

Optimising the amount of cabinet space

At Vecos, we have extensively researched locker usage from more than 1 million users worldwide in Activity Based Working. The conclusion: 95% of all available lockers are occupied, but only 50% are actually used over a 3 month period.

The reason? Employees have started using storage space differently and by working paperless they don’t need as much of it anymore. Instead of a lot of personal storage space, employees increasingly need temporary storage space which is not bound to a specific location.

With the Vecos Releezme locker data management system, the allocation of fixed, dynamic, visitor and team lockers is freely configurable. A fixed or appointed locker particularly suits people and organisations that are still committed to a fixed zone or workspace. A dynamic locker is more fitting for people and organisations that have already grown accustomed to the dynamic use of office space. With a dynamic locker, a time restriction can be connected to the locker use. A dynamic locker with for example time restrictions is suitable for people and organisations who use their workplace as a meeting point. In Releezme, fixed and dynamic lockers can be mixed and used simultaneously.

"Vecos is a very good option to have a lock­er sys­tem which is able to pro­vide data and with that data we can man­age and assign the stor­age space. We also want­ed to reduce our stor­age capac­i­ty by 40% and that worked very well.”
