Is Awaio an alternative to Vecos?

Yes, if you want lockers as part of a wider workplace system. Awaio runs lockers with its own digital locks and connects them to door access, desks, rooms and parking in one app. You can start with lockers and add more later.

Can Awaio work with our existing lockers?

Yes. Awaio locks retrofit existing locker doors, as well as sliding doors, double doors and drawers. The Card + Bluetooth and Multi-Access locks also read the RFID cards people already carry.

How is Vecos priced compared to Awaio?

Vecos combines its own locker hardware with a SaaS subscription and does not list prices on its website. Its Microsoft 365 app needs a separate subscription. Awaio is priced per resource, not per user, with unlimited users, and hardware is priced separately.

Can employees open doors with the same app?

Yes. With Awaio, the same app opens lockers, building entrances, gates and parking barriers, and access follows each person’s role or booking.

Does Awaio work with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?

Yes. Awaio syncs bookings with Outlook and Google Calendar, supports sign-in with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and has an Outlook add-in for booking desks, rooms, parking and lockers.

Awaio vs Vecos: lockers alone or the whole workplace?

Vecos runs networked lockers for large offices and links them to other workplace apps. Awaio runs lockers too, with its own locks, and connects them to door access, desks, rooms and parking in one system and one app.
