Use case

Product rental — digital and simple.

Rent tools, sports equipment, cargo bikes and other everyday items in a fully automated way. Customers book through a web app and pick up the products from a smart locker — around the clock, with no staff on site.

A smart solution for shared usage

Smart lockers offer an efficient, automated solution for renting tools, sports gear, cargo bikes and other everyday items. The customer reserves conveniently through a web app and receives precise pickup and return instructions after the booking. The flexible availability of products that users only need occasionally — like a power drill — is a sustainable, resource-saving offering that follows the principle of the sharing economy: rent instead of buy.

Key benefits at a glance

Customers can pick up and return products whenever they want — outside of opening hours and without queueing. The software uses advanced authentication methods to prevent unauthorised access. Renting instead of buying conserves resources — pickup stations in residential areas or at supermarkets save unnecessary trips.

Secure access through advanced authentication
Sustainability through the sharing economy

How it works

The entire rental flow is automated — from booking and payment to pickup and return.

  1. Booking and management: Customers see product availability in the web app and book directly.

  2. Pickup: Customers receive precise pickup and return details and status updates via web app or email.

  3. Secure handling: Only the authorised recipient gets access; transaction data is protected.

  4. Reporting and analytics: Comprehensive reporting and analytics in the admin portal.

An attractive building block for modern neighborhood and site development

The benefits of automated product rental are obvious. Tenants save on acquisition costs without giving up usage. The offer is available 24/7 — conveniently at their doorstep. The environment benefits because resources are saved and waste is reduced. Housing operators, municipalities and retailers benefit from satisfied users and additional revenue.
