Building infrastructure meets intelligent storage

Build the infrastructure. Activate the workplace.

OBO Bettermann provides the electrical installation systems that help power, route and protect building infrastructure. Vpod adds cloud-managed smart lockers that turn physical storage into secure, self-service workplace workflows.

Complementary capabilities

Infrastructure underneath. Experience on top.

The strongest workplace deployments start by separating the layers clearly. OBO Bettermann supports the physical electrical infrastructure of buildings; Vpod manages the smart-locker hardware, software and operational workflow.

Smart locker infrastructure for everyday workflows

Vpod designs smart locker solutions around the people, process and place involved — from hybrid workplace storage to IT equipment and parcel handovers.

  • Fixed, flexible and dynamic workplace storage
  • IT asset collection and return
  • Parcel and delivery workflows
  • Cloud administration, reporting and integrations
Why the combination matters

Design the locker as part of the building, not an isolated appliance.

A smart locker wall still needs practical site planning: power, data, location, capacity, access, fire strategy, maintainability and coordination with surrounding building systems. Treating those decisions as one design problem helps reduce late-stage compromises.

Connected workplace with building services and smart lockers
Connected workplace journey

From building requirement to everyday workplace service.

The technical infrastructure and locker workflow should be designed around the same operational outcome.

PlanDefine use case, users, location and building constraints.
CoordinateAlign electrical, data, fire, access and facilities requirements.
ConfigureSet locker mix, access rules, allocation and notifications.
DeployInstall, connect, test and commission the environment.
UseEmployees, visitors and service teams complete self-service handovers.
OptimiseReview utilisation, exceptions and capacity across the estate.
Workplace applications

One infrastructure strategy. Multiple locker workflows.

The locker layer can support different operational jobs without changing the underlying principle: secure physical handover, clear access control and better visibility.

Building-to-workflow architecture

Keep the responsibilities clear.

A strong project architecture separates the building infrastructure, the locker workflow and the wider enterprise systems — then defines the interfaces between them.

1. Building infrastructurePower, cable routing, floor/wall interfaces, protection, site readiness and physical coordination.
2. Vpod locker layerCompartments, touchscreen, credentials, allocation, cloud management, notifications and reporting.
3. Connected enterprise workflowIdentity, access, facilities, service management, parcel or workplace systems where an integration is required.
Scope note: this architecture illustrates complementary project roles. It does not represent a technical integration between OBO Bettermann and Vpod, or a live OBO–Vpod software connection.
