Changing work environments demand modern office concepts

Hybrid working, home offices, and shared workspaces are becoming increasingly important. As modern office concepts establish themselves, new forms of collaboration are needed. In these, employees should feel safe and comfortable. For companies, this means that while expensive office space can be saved, a suitable concept is required in response to these new demands for flexible work environments.

In addition to office lockers, where employees can store their personal items, work equipment, and more, flexible workplaces should also consider changing mobility patterns, conscious health aspects, and increased environmental awareness. The innovative solutions from Gantner in the form of locker locking systems for companies meet the diverse requirements of modern office concepts: from personally assigned lockers for employees to freely selectable visitor lockers and smart locker locking systems for end-of-trip facilities. Ultimately, it is important to attract the best talent with attractive workspaces.

More flexibility and efficiency: Smart lockers for smart offices

Smart locker locking systems for office lockers from Gantner form the basis for new forms of collaboration within smartly organized offices. They enable the implementation of new usage concepts for flexible workspaces, as they create space and provide security. The locker locking solutions are used wherever secure storage options are needed: at workstations, on office floors, in changing rooms, or at reception.

Smart Office: Smart Locking Solutions for Innovative and Forward-Thinking Workspaces

Modern, flexible office concepts with freely selectable desks and opportunities for creative exchange and communication require one thing: secure storage space for work equipment and valuables for your employees. The core of innovative workplace concepts is electronic cabinet systems that provide each employee with a piece of privacy, security, and comfort. In the competition for the best talent, innovative, flexible workspaces, a mix of home office and direct interaction in the office, play a crucial role. The personal cabinet is just as important as cabinets that are shared or available to an entire team. This allows desks to be freely chosen and used by anyone, saving expensive office space, ensuring efficient processes, and meeting the current needs of employees for an attractive, flexible workspace. You also have the option for your employees to choose, use, and release cabinets themselves, with automated night opening for cleaning purposes.

Optimizing locker usage and saving costs
  • Through GANTNER's cabinet management software, cabinets can be configured as desired, such as allowing each employee to use only one cabinet. Double allocations and permanently locked but unused cabinets are thus a thing of the past.
  • Save costs through efficient utilization. The flexibility and versatility of a GANTNER cabinet locking system can reduce the number of required cabinets by up to 50%.
  • You decide whether operation should only occur directly via a data carrier at the cabinet or additionally also at a central terminal. Users can freely choose their cabinets via PIN code (Self-Service) through the central terminal.
The right locker solution for every target group 
  • You decide whether employees can freely choose their cabinets daily (similar to their flexible workplace in the building) or whether they receive fixed assigned personal cabinets. Why not combine the two functions: Your employees choose smart office lockers themselves, which they keep until they are released by the employees themselves.
  • How a cabinet is chosen, whether it is available to a whole team, individuals, or visitors, is always flexible and easily adjustable via management software. 
  • No administrative effort for visitors: they choose a cabinet themselves for one-time use. Once it is no longer in use, it is released for the next visitor.
Locker manufactureres and Gantner form a symbiosis
  • The cabinet manufacturer of your choice designs your cabinets, and GANTNER ensures that our smart cabinet locking system turns them into a comfortable, flexible, and secure storage solution in the form of an electronic office locker.
  • We work with cabinet manufacturers worldwide and have a large network of local furniture producers. 
  • Our smart locker systems integrate discreetly into any cabinet design and enhance the aesthetics of our customers' requirements.
Locker locking solutions for every requirement
  • GANTNER has the right cabinet locking system for every company size, regardless of spatial or personnel constraints.
  • A smart locker system helps you efficiently control and optimize internal processes—for a smart office in a flexible work environment. 
  • Whether you enforce a "clean desk policy" in the office or want to securely store confidential documents, our cabinet locking solutions make such regulations easy to implement.

Security & Comfort: Modern Changing Room Lockers for Flexible Work Environments

In a modern workplace, employees in end-of-trip facilities have the opportunity to change and freshen up for the office routine. A hygienic, clean, and secure changing room in pleasant surroundings ensures that employees feel comfortable. Enhance work-life balance and allow your employees to commute to the office by bike or go for a jog during lunch break. An innovative locker locking system from GANTNER ensures that your employees' personal belongings are securely stored. Access is conveniently granted with the employee ID card, a chip, or a smartphone app. And in case the corresponding data carrier is lost, it can be securely blocked. Through the management software, you can encode a new data carrier with the same permissions for the locker.

End-of-Trip Facilities
  • Modern locker rooms provide employees with the opportunity to commute to the company by bike or go for a jog during lunch break, and then change and freshen up for the office day.
