Flexible by design. Powerful by choice.
One Smart Locker Platform. Twelve Ways to Connect.
Give every user the right access experience.
Secure, convenient and built around how you operate.
Vflex smart lockers, powered by Keynius, support 12 authentication methods within one connected platform. Choose the credential that fits your user, environment and workflow.
Smart locker category hub
Turn a locker wall into connected operational infrastructure.
Smart lockers combine electronically controlled compartments with cloud software so organizations can automate secure storage, issue, return and collection workflows. Instead of keys, paper logs and staffed handovers, users authenticate digitally while administrators control permissions, occupancy and activity centrally.
Vflex is the configurable hardware layer; Keynius provides the cloud management environment; Vpod brings the workflow design, integration and deployment support that connects the two to the operation.
One connected platform
Hardware, software and workflows working together.
Vflex is designed for environments where lockers operate as operational infrastructure rather than furniture: secure access, configurable workflows, central management and multi-site control.
Instant access
Users can access lockers using configured methods such as PIN, QR code, RFID or the Keynius app.
Cloud management
Manage users, assignments, occupancy, activity and reports through the connected software environment.
Auditability
Locker interactions can be recorded to improve traceability across storage, issue, return and collection workflows.
Configurable deployment
Combine different materials, compartment layouts, access methods and accessories around the required workflow.
Connected workflows
From request to secure collection—with every step visible.
Vpod smart locker workflows can automate parcel, IT asset, retail collection and luggage storage processes, reducing manual handling while improving self-service access and operational visibility.
One smart locker platform. Multiple operational workflows.
Explore Vflex by solution.

Buyer guide · access control
12 ways to access a Vflex smart locker.
Choose the credential that fits the user, environment and workflow. Vflex smart lockers powered by Keynius can support multiple authentication methods within one connected access-control platform.
Why access choice matters
The access method should follow the workflow — not force the workflow to change.
Enterprise employees may prefer an existing badge or SSO, hotel and venue guests may need a temporary QR, PIN, email or SMS credential, and high-throughput or premium journeys can use mobile and wallet-based access. The right mix depends on user identity, security, duration of access and the systems already in place.
| # | Access method | How it works | Best-fit buyer use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fingerprint | Biometric fingerprint verifies an authorized individual. | Healthcare, laboratories, industrial and higher-security environments. |
| 2 | Email authentication | A temporary or time-limited access link is sent by email. | Visitors, hospitality, parcel collection and temporary users. |
| 3 | Web browser login | The user authenticates through a secure browser or web application. | Workplaces, universities, shared spaces and remote users. |
| 4 | QR code | A unique printed or mobile QR credential is scanned at the locker. | Hospitality, venues, retail collection, transport and visitor storage. |
| 5 | RFID card / badge | An existing employee card, fob or workplace badge is presented to a reader. | Corporate workplace, education, healthcare and factories. |
| 6 | Single Sign-On (SSO) | Existing corporate identity credentials authenticate the user. | Enterprise, government, universities and healthcare networks. |
| 7 | PIN code | A personal, temporary or one-time numeric code is entered. | Gyms, schools, public lockers and rental lockers. |
| 8 | Mobile app | A smartphone app can reserve, open, release and manage lockers. | Workplace, hospitality, retail, leisure and transit. |
| 9 | SMS access | A time-limited access code is sent to the user by text message. | Events, guests, deliveries, maintenance and temporary access. |
| 10 | Google Wallet | An Android phone or watch provides an NFC credential. | Hotels, transport, retail and high-throughput environments. |
| 11 | Apple Wallet | An iPhone or Apple Watch acts as the contactless credential. | Venues, events, premium hospitality and workplaces. |
| 12 | Barcode | A printed or digital barcode, ticket or collection reference is scanned. | Logistics, parcel handovers, retail collection, returns and rentals. |

Office, locker room, click & collect, parcel management, asset management, rental or vending.
Choose the material
Compact laminate (HPL), steel or wood (MFC), depending on the environment and design requirement.
Choose the colors
Select from a broad range of RAL color combinations across compatible steel, laminate and wood configurations.
Add functionality
Touch screens, payments, charging, ventilation, identification, side panels, sloping tops and other configured accessories.
Vflex model range
Choose the locker construction for the environment.
The Vflex Smart Locker Wall range includes six model variants across wood, compact laminate and steel constructions, including an outdoor configuration.
Model selection
One platform, multiple cabinet constructions.
The locker model can be selected to suit the location, moisture resistance, design language and operational use while retaining the Vflex smart locking and Keynius management approach.
Download Vflex brochure| Model | Material | Indoor / outdoor | Door thickness | Best-fit environment | Key differentiator |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luvio | Wood (MFC) | Indoor | 18 mm | Workplaces and interiors where furniture-style finishes matter. | 18 mm MFC carcass and doors for a warmer, furniture-led aesthetic. |
| Solid | Compact laminate (HPL) | Indoor | 12 mm | High-use indoor areas needing durable, moisture-resistant surfaces. | Compact laminate construction combines durability with moisture resistance. |
| Elite | Steel | Indoor | 1.0 mm | General-purpose commercial and workplace environments. | All-steel construction with 1.0 mm doors for a robust standard specification. |
| Elite Plus | Steel | Indoor | 1.5 mm | Higher-use indoor environments where a heavier door specification is preferred. | 1.5 mm steel doors provide a thicker door specification than Elite. |
| Rain | Outdoor steel | Outdoor | 1.0 mm | External or weather-exposed smart locker deployments. | Waterproof outdoor configuration designed for external use. |
| Vision | Steel + acrylic glass doors | Indoor | 1.5 mm | Controlled indoor environments where visual confirmation of contents is useful. | Acrylic-glass door panels provide visibility into each compartment. |
Material and door-thickness data reflect Vpod's current published Vflex specifications. Best-fit environment guidance is based on those published construction characteristics; final model suitability, configuration and lead time should be confirmed during technical scoping.
