How Smart Lockers Improve IT Support Efficiency

Written by Marta Cano | Tue, Jun 24, 2025

IT support teams often struggle with manual asset distribution, lost equipment, and time-consuming handovers, leading to delays and increased workload. Smart lockers provide an automated, self-service solution that allows employees to collect and return IT assets without IT staff intervention, improving efficiency and productivity.

Key Ways Smart Lockers Improve IT Support Efficiency

1. Faster Laptop and Peripheral Replacements

  • Employees can request IT equipment via ServiceNow or an internal portal and pick it up from a smart locker at their convenience.
  • IT teams can preload lockers with spare laptops, chargers, and accessories, ensuring immediate availability.

2. Reduced IT Team Workload

  • By automating asset distribution, IT teams spend less time on manual handovers and tracking device returns.
  • Support teams can focus on high-priority issues rather than handling routine hardware requests.

3. Secure and Accountable IT Asset Management

  • Every transaction is logged digitally, ensuring full accountability for who accessed which device and when.
  • Smart lockers help prevent lost or stolen IT assets, reducing replacement costs.

4. 24/7 Access for Remote and Hybrid Workforces

  • Employees can retrieve IT devices from smart lockers anytime, ensuring continuous support even outside working hours.
  • Lockers are ideal for distributed offices and hybrid work environments.

5. Faster IT Repairs and Returns

  • Faulty devices can be returned to designated smart lockers, triggering automated repair requests for IT teams.
  • This eliminates delays in processing repairs and ensures quick replacements.
