“The colleagues are highly satisfied with the new locker system.
It is easy to use, intuitive, and secure—without the need for physical keys.”
Tobias Rößler
Project Manager, New Headquarters
THE CHALLENGE
As part of the transition to a flexible workspace concept, dm needed a modern solution for securely storing personal belongings and work materials. A traditional key-based system was not an option due to its high administrative effort. Additionally, the system had to seamlessly integrate with the company's existing management software.
SOLUTION
Gantner’s electronic locker system proved to be the ideal choice. It enables keyless management via a central PC-based software solution, allowing employees to use the same chip for building access, canteen payments, and locker operation. The system offers high security, flexibility, and user-friendly operation for all employees.
KEY BENEFITS
- Keyless System eliminates physical keys, reducing administrative effort
- Easy and convenient for employees
- Centralized software management with customizable access options
- Employees use the same chip for access control, payments, and lockers
- Scalable and adaptable to new technological developments
- Invisible components ensure a seamless office aesthetic
