iLOQ x BoxBox: The Smart Lock Duo Revolutionizing Secure Storage

In a world where security meets sustainability, BoxBox—the peer-to-peer storage innovator—and Finland's iLOQ, pioneers in battery-free smart locking, have joined forces to set a new standard. Announced in July 2024, this partnership equips all BoxBox facilities with iLOQ's cutting-edge smart locks, transforming how users access garages, basements, and warehouses. It's not just an upgrade; it's a leap ahead of clunky competitors, blending seamless tech with eco-smarts for unbeatable convenience.

The Power Pair: Unlocking Safer, Smarter Storage

BoxBox, born from founder Markus Evardson's quest to monetize unused spaces, already spans 18,000+ locations across Europe. Now, in Finland, every BoxBox unit rolls out with iLOQ integration—delivering keyless entry via smartphone, fob, or app. "Billions of listings 🤝 Billions of iLOQs," quipped Evardson, envisioning a future where secure, flexible storage scales globally.

iLOQ's tech shines here: energy-harvesting locks that generate power from every turn, ditching batteries, cables, and WiFi dependency. Remote access management lets hosts grant temporary codes instantly, while BoxBox's AI matching ensures the right space meets the right renter—fast and fuss-free.

Why This Beats the Competition Hands Down

Tired of battery-draining doorbells or WiFi-vulnerable Yale and August locks? iLOQ x BoxBox combo crushes rivals:

  • Eco-Warrior Edge: No disposables mean zero waste—unlike Schlage's battery-hungry models that contribute to e-waste piles. iLOQ's lifecycle cuts environmental impact by design, aligning with BoxBox's 50% CO2 slash via space optimization.
  • Install-and-Forget Simplicity: Retrofit in minutes without wiring headaches; competitors like Kwikset demand electricians and endless tweaks.
  • Bulletproof Security: NFC and Bluetooth encryption, plus audit trails for every access—far surpassing basic PIN pads on Ultraloq or Nuki, with zero downtime from dead cells.
  • Cost-Crushing Efficiency: Dynamic pricing on BoxBox pairs with iLOQ's low admin for cheaper rentals, outpacing traditional storage's hidden fees.

This isn't hype—it's proven: Early pilots show 30% faster unit fills and zero breach reports.
