Spica × Vpod

Connect workplace experience to the physical workplace.

Spica’s GemEx platform helps organisations connect people, places and workplace services. Vpod adds cloud-managed smart lockers for secure employee storage, assets, parcels and other self-service handovers.

Two complementary layers

Workplace software meets intelligent physical infrastructure.

Spica positions GemEx as workplace experience software for booking, visitor management, employee engagement, space management, IoT analytics and custom integrations. Vpod provides configurable smart locker hardware, Keynius cloud management and workflow design for secure storage and handovers.

Spica

Connect people to workplace services

GemEx supports the digital workplace layer around people, spaces and operational services.

  • Desk, room and car-park booking
  • Visitors, wayfinding and digital access keys
  • Service requests and feedback
  • IoT analytics, alerts and custom integrations
Vpod

Turn storage and handovers into self-service

Vpod makes the physical locker layer configurable around the users, access method and operational workflow.

  • Workplace and hybrid storage
  • IT asset issue, swap and return
  • Parcel receipt and collection
  • Visitor and temporary-user storage
Connected workplace opportunity

Extend the digital workplace into secure physical storage.

A workplace app can manage intent, context and services. A smart locker can complete the physical handover. Where a connection is implemented, the two layers can support a smoother journey without asking users to learn another disconnected process.

Intent → eligibility → locker action → access → status → insight

Use one end-to-end operating model to decide what each system owns, what data is exchanged and how exceptions are handled.

Operating journey

From workplace intent to a completed locker workflow.

Use this as an illustrative project pattern. The exact system ownership and connection method should be confirmed during solution design.

01TriggerBooking, service request, parcel, asset need or employee-day event.
02ContextUser, location, entitlement, timing and operational rules are checked.
03AllocateThe appropriate locker, compartment or storage session is assigned.
04AccessUser receives the configured badge, mobile, PIN, QR or other credential.
05Use / returnStorage, collection, handover or return is completed through self-service.
06ReportStatus, exceptions and utilisation can feed operational insight.
Use cases

One workplace ecosystem. Multiple physical workflows.

Employee lockers

Fixed, flexible or dynamic storage for hybrid and activity-based workplaces.

IT asset lockers

Secure issue, exchange and return of laptops, devices and shared equipment.

Parcel workflows

Move receipt, notification and collection away from repetitive front-desk handling.

Multi-site estates

Apply consistent operating rules while retaining local configuration across buildings.

Integration architecture

Design the workflow first. Choose the technical pattern second.

Vpod’s current integration approach starts with the initiating event, source of truth, data contract, security controls, failure paths and operational ownership. A Spica connection follows the same discipline rather than assuming a connector that has not been verified.

Agreed workflow layerAPI, webhook, supported connector or other interface with explicit ownership and exception handling.
Vpod / Keynius locker workflowAllocation, credential, compartment state, collection, return, status and audit events.

This architecture is illustrative. It does not represent a standard live Spica–Vpod integration.

Why this matters

Better workplace experience needs both digital and physical journeys.

Employee experience

Connect workplace services with secure self-service storage and handover points.

Operational efficiency

Reduce manual allocations, keys, desk-side handovers and repetitive parcel handling.

Data-led decisions

Use workplace and locker signals to understand demand, capacity and service performance.

Flexible estates

Support hybrid work and changing occupancy with configurable workflows rather than static storage rules.
