Retrofit your existing cabinets in minutes with Bluetooth locks, without the expense of cabling, IT setups, or building modifications.
Why Traditional Locker Systems Don’t Scale in Modern Workplaces
Traditional vendors force an expensive choice:Networked IoT Smart Lockers: Ethernet cabling through walls. Brand-new cabinets (your existing ones won't work). Professional IT installation spanning two to four weeks. And infrastructure costs that make procurement push back before you even submit the request.
Manual Key Management: Hours of weekly admin time tracking keys—no usage data, remote control, or any way to reclaim hoarded lockers. Employees avoid the system entirely, and you're left managing storage with spreadsheets.
There's a third option.
A Third Option Designed for Existing Buildings, and Just as Easy in New Ones
Awaio’s Bluetooth locks retrofit into new or existing cabinets. You don’t need to build network infrastructure, install costly hardware, or involve IT experts.Bluetooth Cloud Architecture (Not Networked IoT)
Our battery-powered locks connect to cloud software. The lock communicates directly with employees' smartphones. The cloud platform manages permissions, booking rules, and usage analytics. Lock/unlock action happens offline through a direct Bluetooth connection.✅ No wiring, no network, no IT dependency
✅ Works even if Wi-Fi or office networks are down
✅ Deploy hundreds of lookers in a single day
✅ RFID access as an alternate method of unlocking
Installation in Three Steps. Five Minutes Per Locker
Mount the lock
Position the compact unit on your cabinet door using the included retrofit template. A hand drill and the template are all you need.
Pair with the platform
Scan the lock's unique identifier through the Awaio app. The cloud platform registers the unit and assigns it to your location inventory.
Configure permissions
Set access rules, assign to employees or booking pools, and the locker is live. No network tests, IT tickets, or waiting periods.
