Integrate contactless, click-and-collect services with this automated, user-friendly solution
Libraries are an essential part of each community, providing valuable resources and services to those in need.
Smart lockers provide a contact-free, curbside means of delivering resources to patrons around-the-clock, at their convenience. It’s an easy-to-use solution that works as a standalone system or integrated with popular library management systems via API. And it’s secure enough to safeguard high-value electronics.
The benefits of bringing lockers into circulation
Support contactless, curbside checkouts
With smart lockers, patrons can pick up items they’ve signed out without interacting with library staff or touching a shared screen.
Avoid dropoff damage
Using lockers as an alternative to drop boxes protects books and other items from damage and prevents them from being mixed in with other returns.
Implement contact-free delivery
Using the Smart Lockers, Inc mobile app, there’s no need to interact with a touchscreen — all it takes is a tap of a button in the app to unlock the locker door. UV sanitation and antimicrobial materials are also available to help stop the spread of pathogens.
Hold for safety
Library staff can store items securely in lockers for the recommended 72-hour period to help curb the spread of pathogens.
Simplify your checkouts and returns workflow
It takes no time at all to install smart lockers, train staff, and set up API integrations. Smart Lockers, Inc lockers work as both a standalone solution or alongside library management systems to:
- Streamline and manage transactions
- Send notifications, reminders, and access codes to patrons
- Track real-time measurable outcomes for locker use, pickup efficiency, and chain of custody — all in one web portal
