Key differences

  • More than locks: Flexlock makes locks for lockers and cabinets. Awaio runs lockers in one system with desks, rooms, parking and door access.
  • One phone for everything: Flexlock phones open lockers and cabinets. With Awaio, the same app also opens building doors, gates and parking barriers.
  • More from every locker: Awaio adds team, delivery and Grab & Go lockers, releases unused lockers automatically and reports on how they’re used.
  • Retrofit, not replace: Awaio locks fit existing locker doors and read the access cards people already carry.
