Simple Locker Management

With our comprehensive management software for cultural institutions, which is the best solution as your museum management software, you can organize and optimize your internal processes, giving you an edge over competitors. Combine the visitor management software solution with other smart systems from Gantner, such as smart locker locking systems and electronic access control.

Turn visitors into regulars by offering them more comfort and security than others. Guests can securely and easily lock away personal items such as bags or jackets in a locker or storage compartment, and even rent these lockers for longer periods.

By providing your visitors with RFID devices such as smart cards or wristbands, they can use all Gantner solutions with the same device. The same applies to cashless transactions at POS stations. Enable your guests to conveniently purchase drinks and snacks – whether in a café or at self-service stations such as vending machines. The amounts loaded onto the device can be easily settled when leaving the cultural institution. This helps to make the cultural experience carefree, and your visitors will gladly return again and again.

Comfortable system with wristband

Gantner's award-winning RFID/NFC solutions enable visitors to highly frequented cultural institutions such as cinemas and museums to conveniently access services via a chip wristband or a chip card. Gantner's own mobile apps make opening and closing smart locker locking systems effortlessly easy.

One device, many possibilities

All your guests need are RFID devices: With these, authorized visitors can gain automated access to your cultural institution. RFID terminals at turnstiles allow for convenient entry without the need for staff or long queues. This allows your guests to enjoy the exhibition stress-free. Personal items such as bags or coats can be securely locked in a locker with a smart locker locking system. If a guest forgets the locker number, it can be retrieved using the device at a terminal, without your staff needing to intervene personally. This way, you can efficiently use limited staff resources. Thanks to the prepaid function, guests can also make cashless purchases at POS stations in the museum shop or at vending machines using the device. An amount can be preloaded onto the device or any outstanding amounts can be conveniently settled when leaving the facility. Long waiting times are avoided, guests have access to their lockers at any time, and no one needs to worry about cash. Fantastic, isn't it?

Cinema, theater, or museum: Ticketing solutions for cultural institutions

With Gantner's ticketing, locker locking, and access control solutions, you can easily manage visitor flows for exhibitions, events, and performances of all kinds. Whether it's timed tickets for exhibitions, season passes for members, or price tiers for cultural events based on seating or availability, Gantner Ticketing for museums gives cultural institutions full control over online ticket sales as well as on-site sales. At the same time, guests can conveniently book tickets from home or on the go. Reduce queues by integrating Gantner's automated turnstile access control. This saves time and personnel, allowing them to have more capacity to care for your guests.

The benefits of GANTNER Ticketing for museums at a glance:

Automatic sales processing: With our ticketing software, museums, galleries, or cinemas can sell all tickets online, automating the sales process. This allows you to reduce costs and make the purchasing process faster and easier for customers.
Payment and order management: The ticketing software also assists in managing payment, order, and customer data to simplify the entire sales process. You can securely and quickly process payments and easily track and manage order information.
Improved data collection: Gather valuable data about your customers, ticket sales, and visit analytics for exhibitions or events. This allows you to tailor your marketing activities better to your target audience and increase your revenue. Promotions or merchandise suggestions can lead to additional income.
Interface for automated access control systems: Only customers with valid tickets are granted access within the valid time frame. They scan a QR code or an RFID token at RFID terminals, such as turnstiles, to enter your facility. This ensures that only paying guests are in your cultural institution. Additionally, you save resources through automated processes.
All with one card: During their visit to your facility or event, guests can also independently use electronic locker locking systems and pay cashlessly in the restaurant, café, or at snack vending machines with credit or by adding funds.

Whether cultural or leisure facilities: Gantner offers you individual, scalable solutions to optimally manage visitor flows — from online ticket booking to seamless access control to cashless payment at POS stations or in shops. Discover also our access and cashless payment systems for amusement parks and swimming pools.

Security for employees, exhibitions, exclusive collections, and sensitive areas

Gantner's access control systems, time tracking systems, and electronic locker locking systems support smooth operations in cultural venues. Whether curators, cleaning staff, or administration: With the management software for access control systems, you can quickly and easily manage access permissions for open and sensitive areas such as state collections, backstage areas in theaters, or screening rooms in cinemas.

In museums, accredited visitors who are allowed to view specific collections for research purposes gain uncomplicated access to the areas approved for them via a visitor pass with RFID. With the management software, you also have insight at all times into who has entered or left which room. This allows you to trace any security incidents in the shortest possible time and block access permissions for personalized user accounts.

Digital time tracking in cultural venues

Whether fixed opening hours or events with open-ended times: With digital time tracking, your employees can record their working hours in no time. Sick days and vacation days can also be viewed and planned directly at the terminal as needed. Depending on your needs, the HR department can use the data to optimize shift schedules or create payroll. The multilingual interface meets the requirements of an internationally oriented operation and welcomes employees in their chosen language.

Smart locker locking systems for storage and cloakrooms in museums and theaters

Not only your guests want to store their valuables securely, but also your employees: In facilities that require a work uniform, changing rooms and end-of-trip facilities are part of everyday life. With Gantner's smart locker locking systems, you can easily monitor personalized locker usage and occupancy. Your employees' personal belongings are securely stored during working hours. They can easily open and close their locker with the device on the door lock via the app or RFID employee badge.

But the lockers can do even more: For internal logistics, Gantner has developed its own solution that allows packages and other shipments of different sizes to be delivered to an internal package station. Both external providers and the in-house post can operate through it. The recipient receives a personal email with a code that is entered or scanned at a central terminal. The door behind which the package has been securely stored opens for removal. This allows you to securely and elegantly transmit internal documents or important items.
