Assigned Lockers Sit Idle
A locker held for a year by a member who comes in twice a month.
Lockera Industries · Co-working
The Desk Is Flexible. The Locker Isn’t.
A member books a desk by the day and a room by the hour. Then storage reverts to the old model — a locker assigned for a year whether it is used or not, and a front desk minding everybody’s parcels. Lockera makes storage a resource members book, use and release like any other.
One system for hot-desk storage, member lockers, parcel reception, equipment lending and shared amenities.
Built for
- Co-working Operators
- Managed Offices
- Enterprise Flex Floors
- Innovation Hubs
Every Other Resource Is Booked. Storage Is Assigned.
Desks, rooms and even parking are allocated on demand and released the moment they are done with. Storage is still handed out for a term, held whether it is used or not, and propped up by a front desk that ends up minding everybody’s things.
02
The Front Desk Is the Locker
Community staff signing for parcels and minding bags all day.
03
Nowhere to Leave Anything
Day-pass and hot-desk members carrying everything in and out.
04
Keys and Padlocks
Physical keys issued, lost, re-cut and never returned.
05
Shared Kit Walks Off
Monitors, adapters and AV gear lent out with no record.
06
Storage Nobody Pays For
Space given away because there is no way to meter it.
The knock-on effect
How one fixed allocation turns into a cost across the whole operation.
- 01Lockers assigned by the year
- Floor space that earns nothing
- 02Parcels held at the front desk
- Community time spent on logistics
- 03Keys issued by hand
- Cutting, chasing and replacing
- 04No record of who took what
- Equipment written off quietly
- 05Storage bundled into the plan
- Revenue given away by default

An Assigned Locker vs. Lockera Flexible Storage
| Measure | An assigned locker | Lockera flexible storage |
|---|---|---|
| Allocation | Fixed for the term | Released when not in use |
| Access | A key or a padlock | The member credential |
| Day-pass members | Nothing available | Same-day compartment |
| Parcels | Held at the front desk | Delivered into a compartment |
| Utilisation | Unknown | Measured per compartment |
| Equipment | A sign-out sheet | Issued against an identity |
| Billing | Bundled into the plan | Metered, pay-per-use |
| Multi-site members | A locker per location | One credential everywhere |
Hardware, Booking Software and Workspace APIs.
Lockera is a complete hardware, cloud software and integration stack, engineered for space that is allocated by the hour rather than by the year.
Layer 01
Modular Locker Hardware
Modular steel lockbanks in mixed compartment sizes, with electronic solenoids, touchscreens, cameras and battery backup, sited in lobbies, breakout areas and on individual floors.
Layer 02
Cloud Booking & Access
Real-time allocation and release, per-compartment utilisation, dwell alerts, full access logs and billing records, across a single floor or an entire network of sites.
Layer 03
Member App & Workspace APIs
App, QR and OTP access tied to membership, with APIs into your workspace management, access control and billing systems so storage appears alongside desks and rooms.
What the operation gains
- Storage that flexes with the space — allocated on demand, released automatically.
- The front desk returns to community — parcels and bags handled by the system.
- Every compartment measured — utilisation per unit instead of a guess.
- No keys to issue or chase — access on the credential a member already has.
- Equipment tied to an identity — lending with a record, not a sheet.
- A new billable resource — storage metered like a meeting room.
Storage That Behaves Like the Rest of the Space.
Idle floor space, front-desk workload, day-pass experience and missing equipment all trace back to the same decision: storage allocated permanently inside a business built on flexibility.

Why Operators Are Unbundling Storage.
- Recover assigned floor space — compartments released when they are not in use.
- Return the front desk to members — logistics handled without staff in the middle.
- Extend storage to every plan — day-pass and hot-desk members included.
- Remove the key cycle — nothing to cut, chase or replace.
- Keep shared equipment accounted for — issued and returned against an identity.
- Open a new revenue line — storage billed like any other resource.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a member open a locker?
On the credential they already carry. The member app, a QR code or a single-use OTP opens the compartment allocated to them, so there is no key to cut, issue or collect back. Every opening is logged against the membership with a timestamp.
How is a compartment allocated and released?
A member books storage the way they book a desk or a room — for the day, the month or the term — and the compartment is allocated on arrival. When the booking ends the compartment is released back into the pool automatically, so it is available to the next member rather than held empty.
Can we still offer permanently assigned lockers?
Yes. A bank can mix both models: some compartments fixed for term members who want a permanent locker, the rest floating for day-pass and hot-desk members. The split is a configuration choice per site, not a hardware one, so it can change as your membership does.
How do parcel and courier deliveries work?
The courier deposits into a compartment and the member is notified immediately. They collect whenever they next come in, without the front desk signing for the item or storing it. The handover is recorded with identity and time at both ends.
Can we charge members for storage?
Yes. Storage becomes a metered resource like a meeting room: billed per day, per booking or per term, with usage records exportable or pushed into your own billing system through the API. Utilisation is reported per compartment, so pricing can be set on evidence rather than assumption.
Does Lockera integrate with our workspace management system?
Lockera exposes APIs for compartment allocation, member notification, collection events, utilisation and billing records, so storage appears alongside desks and rooms inside the software your members and community team already use.
How does equipment lending work?
Monitors, adapters, AV kit and other shared equipment are issued from a compartment against an identity and returned to one. The system records who took what and when, flags an overdue item, and gives the community team a live view instead of a sign-out sheet nobody completes.
Does it work across multiple locations?
One credential works across every site on the network, so a member who moves between locations does not need a locker at each. Operators get a per-site view and a network view in the same dashboard, including utilisation, exceptions and billing.
What happens during a power cut or network outage?
Units carry battery backup, so members can still open their compartments during an outage using offline codes, and every opening is reconciled to the log once connectivity returns. Nothing is stranded inside a locker because the network dropped.
