RICOH Smart Lockers for Secure Asset and Parcel Management

Reduce manual processes, improve visibility and make it easier for people to collect, return and manage the assets, devices and parcels they rely on every day.

Overview

When manual handovers slow your business down, smart lockers help you regain control. 

Across logistics, IT and workplace services, teams are under pressure to move faster with fewer resources. But when collections, returns and asset tracking rely on manual coordination, time is wasted, costs increase and accountability becomes harder to maintain. 

RICOH Smart Lockers provide a secure, self-service way to store, issue, return and track business-critical items — from IT equipment and warehouse devices to parcels, tools and operational assets. 

We bring together intelligent software, enterprise-grade hardware, deployment services, ongoing support and flexible financing to help smart lockers work as part of your wider operation.

Key Features

One connected platform for secure, traceable self-service

Secure access

areo

Protect every asset with secure, keyless access and full audit trails

Control who can access each locker, compartment or item using flexible authentication methods such as PIN and QR codes and multi-factor authentication. Role-based permissions help ensure employees, couriers, IT teams or authorised users can only collect, return or exchange the items assigned to them, reducing the risk of loss, unauthorised access or manual handover errors.

Real-time tracking

areo

Track every device in real-time to reduce loss and improve accountability

Gain live visibility of every collection, return and access event, including who interacted with an item and when. This helps teams locate assets faster, confirm successful handovers, identify overdue returns and respond quickly when equipment, parcels or operational assets are not where they should be.

Open integrations

Seamlessly connect with your IT systems for effortless management

Connect smart locker workflows with existing enterprise systems, including IT Service Management platforms such as ServiceNow, as well as business applications used to manage assets, users, requests and notifications. This helps reduce duplicate data entry, automate routine steps and make smart lockers part of the wider service experience.

Cloud management

areo

Manage lockers securely from anywhere with GDPR-compliant cloud control

Manage lockers, users, permissions and workflows centrally through a single cloud-based platform. Administrators can update access rules, monitor locker status, manage locations and scale services across multiple sites without relying on local manual processes, helping maintain consistency and control as requirements change.

Audit trails

areo

Tailor lockers to your workflow while keeping them simple and intuitive for users

Maintain a clear digital record of every collection, return, exchange and access event. Detailed audit trails support accountability, compliance and dispute resolution by showing exactly what happened, when it happened and who was involved, giving teams greater confidence in how assets, devices and parcels are managed.
