Day use lockers for flexible workplaces

When employees don’t have a permanent desk, they shouldn’t need a permanent locker either. Day use lockers give employees secure storage when they come into the office, without requiring permanent assignments. With Vecos, the same pool of lockers can be used by different employees throughout the day, making storage available when and where it is needed.

Day lockers alone aren’t the whole answer, though. In our data, 17% of people need a locker for a day, while 30% need one for months and others for a few days or a project. Vecos serves all of them from the same pool, and day use is one setting among many.

“The Vecos locker experience has certainly been the best in our organization. All our clients and visitors that experienced it in our office said, ‘we need to put this is place'.”

Marc Zuili CIO and Head of Operations Deloitte France

How can we help?

Flexible storage with day use lockers

Hot desking makes better use of office space, but it also changes how employees use storage. A locker permanently assigned to someone who works remotely most of the week is capacity that others cannot use.

Vecos enables lockers for hot desking to be used on demand. Employees can find and access an available locker when they arrive and release it when they leave. And if someone forgets to release a locker, Vecos notices and frees it up. No permanent assignments. No manual reconfiguration.

The right locker, when you need it

Day use lockers are ideal for employees who only need storage for the duration of their visit. Whether they are working from a shared desk, joining a project team, or visiting another location, they can access secure storage without tying up capacity.

Employees can use their existing credentials, such as an access badge or smartphone, while facilities teams maintain visibility and control through one centralized platform.

Built on real behavior. Learns in real time.

With 1.4 million lockers online in the cloud and billions of real locker interactions, Vecos technology is built around people’s storage needs in real workplaces.

Lockers built for hybrid work

Hot desking and hybrid work go hand in hand. Employees may work from home several days a week, come into different offices, or move between teams and workspaces.

Hybrid office lockers adapt to this reality. Instead of assigning one locker per employee, organizations can make a shared pool of storage available based on actual demand.

This helps you get more value from your existing locker capacity while giving employees a consistent storage experience wherever they work.

“Vecos helped us while we increased the number of our employees in this building, without needing to add any more lockers. A huge success for us.” Andreas Thiem, Workplace Lead, Accenture Germany.

More than lockers for hot desking

Not everything moving through a workplace belongs to an employee. Vecos hybrid office lockers can also be used as asset management lockers for IT equipment, shared devices, documents, parcels, or other items that need secure, controlled access.

The same locker infrastructure can support multiple use cases without creating separate systems for each one.
