In the world of self-storage, warehousing, and flexible space marketplaces like BoxBox, the physical assets often lag behind the tech stack. Doors with mechanical locks, lost keys, manual access logs, and limited flexibility can become bottlenecks for scale, user experience and operational efficiency.

Why Smart Locks Matter for BoxBox

• Flexibility & access control: With a modern lock system you can give access to users, vendors or staff with dynamic rules (by time, unit, location).
• Reduced maintenance and lost-key risk: Traditional mechanical systems require rekeying, physical key distribution, and manual tracking. A smart system dramatically cuts those costs.
• Digital integration & visibility: Access logs, remote permissions, audit trails—all become possible. You gain data on who entered when, and can integrate with your operations.
• Scalability: As you expand across sites, geographies and asset types, deploying a retrofit friendly smart lock enables consistent experience and control.

Why iLOQ Stands Out

The iLOQ offering checks several boxes for a BoxBox-friendly solution:

• Their locks are battery-free, cable-free and WiFi-independent.
• The retrofit capability: the cylinders “fit right into existing doors … no changes to doors or the existing infrastructure are needed.”
• They support mobile access (NFC smartphones as keys) or smart key fobs, giving you flexibility for users without smartphones.
• Their cloud-based platform enables remote rights management, audit logs, and integration.

Final Thought

As BoxBox scales across assets, regions and types of space, investing in modern access control isn’t optional—it’s foundational. Retro-fitting your doors with a solution like iLOQ gives you control, flexibility, data and a future-proof infrastructure. Old doors don’t have to mean old systems. Bring them into the digital age and let your spaces breathe as smart assets.
