CONNECTED WORKPLACE JOURNEY
Design the resource journey around the person and the process.
Start with the business event, then define ownership, eligibility, resource allocation, identity, physical handoff and the data that needs to flow back into the wider workplace or service process.
An employee, visitor, parcel or asset need is created.
The item, space or locker workflow is readied.
A suitable compartment or storage session is assigned.
The approved user receives access instructions.
The user completes the physical handoff securely.
Status and usage data support operations and optimisation.
An illustrative workflow. Ricoh and Vpod are presented here as complementary capabilities; any technical connection between them is designed for the individual project.

Ricoh already treats smart lockers as part of the wider workplace.
Ricoh’s public workplace material describes smart lockers as connected corporate assets that can support employee and visitor storage, parcel management, asset control, tracking, reporting and 24/7 self-service. Vpod takes the same view: lockers work best as part of the wider workplace, not as an isolated appliance.

The locker is one step in the workplace service journey.
Where an integration is implemented, Vpod can sit alongside identity, workplace, parcel, asset, facilities and notification systems. The architecture should start with the customer journey, data ownership, authentication, exception handling and operational ownership before the technical connector is selected.
