EMCOR × Vpod

Turn facilities strategy into intelligent workplace infrastructure.

EMCOR provides building-services and facilities expertise. Vpod adds cloud-managed smart lockers that automate workplace storage, IT asset handover and delivery workflows.

The problem

Facilities teams shouldn't manage workplace services manually.

Locker keys, spreadsheets, parcel handovers, laptop collections, asset returns and temporary storage can all become repetitive facilities tasks. The result is more interruption, weaker visibility and inconsistent user experience.

01Manual allocation and key administration consume facilities time.
02Reception and service teams become the handover point for parcels and assets.
03Multi-site processes drift when each building develops its own workaround.
Two capabilities — one operating environment

From building services to workplace services.

Make workplace storage self-service

Vpod configures smart lockers around the job they need to do — from employee storage to IT assets and parcels.

  • Assigned or shared storage
  • Badge, mobile, PIN and QR access
  • Cloud administration and reporting
  • Multi-site standards and connected workflows
Core operating journey

From facilities requirement to automated workplace service.

Design the operating model first: identify the service requirement, define capacity and access, configure the workflow, deploy it correctly, then use utilisation insight to improve the estate.

Workplace, IT asset, parcel, visitor, equipment and multi-site smart locker use cases
Workplace

Employee workplace lockers

Fixed, flexible or dynamic storage for hybrid offices and changing attendance patterns.

IT / Assets

IT asset lockers

Secure self-service collection, replacement, return, onboarding and offboarding workflows.

Deliveries

Parcel lockers

Automate receipt, notification and secure collection without turning reception into a package room.

Visitors

Visitor / contractor storage

Temporary secure storage for project teams, contractors and guest journeys.

Equipment

Shared equipment

Control access to devices, specialist tools, consumables or operational equipment.

Estate

Multi-site workplace standards

Use a repeatable operating model across buildings while retaining local configuration.

Parcel + reception workload

Turn deliveries into a predictable facilities workflow.

Traditional parcel handling creates repeated manual steps: receive, record, notify, store and hand over. Smart parcel lockers move more of that journey into self-service while preserving access and audit visibility.

TraditionalCourier → reception → manual record → staff notification → storage → collection
Smart locker modelCourier → secure deposit → automated notification → authenticated self-service collection

IT asset management

Extend facilities infrastructure into IT service delivery.

01

Service request

An employee needs a device, replacement or return workflow.

02

Asset prepared

IT prepares the correct equipment and assigns the handover.

03

Locker allocated

Vpod provides the secure self-service collection point.

04

Collect / return

The user completes the handover without waiting for a staffed desk.

Building systems + locker infrastructure

Connect building operations to workplace services.

The building layer, the facilities operating layer and the smart-locker layer serve different purposes — but together they create a more coherent workplace operating model.

Smart locker integrations

Facilities workflows rarely live in one system.

Vpod can bring lockers into existing workplace, identity, facilities, security and service-management workflows. EMCOR and Vpod are presented here as complementary capabilities rather than a software integration.
