Recent reports have shown that standard office space without smart lockers can be costing businesses in excess of £120 per square foot every year in major cities around the UK. With space being such an important commodity in the modern workplace, it is important to make the most of the area you have available. With this fact in mind, it is shocking that more than 25% of standard workplace lockers go unused! On top of this, most offices continue to spend a significant amount of time and money maintaining these lockers.
In recent times, many businesses are realising the benefits of hybrid work styles and progressing smart workplaces. For a lot of these businesses, the result has been downsizing their physical footprint, with only a portion of the workforce actually in the office. This does mean that for every person to have their own locker, there is going to be a lot of unused or wasted space every day. This makes conventional lockers more of a burden than an asset. Fortunately, there are solutions out there. This is where smart locker systems come in. They allow your employees to move freely throughout the office space while saving time for your admin and facilities teams.
