In a landmark collaboration, Blocks, the smartest locker technology, has partnered with Sharry, a leading workplace experience platform. This partnership aims to transform how employees interact with their workspaces and buildings, creating a more seamless and efficient environment for modern offices. By integrating smart lockers with Sharry's workplace and mobile access solutions, the partnership addresses the growing need for flexible, technology-driven solutions in today's workplaces.
'It's easy, convenient, super-fast and secure. You just need to hold your smartphone or smart watch near the reader. The best part? You don't even need to wake or unlock the device or open any apps and your Apple Wallet badge will still work for up to five hours even if your iPhone needs a charge. That's all what it takes to store, share or retrieve any item in and from Blocks-powered lockers. This seamless access experience is facilitated through the Sharry workplace app utilising HID Mobile Access technology,' they explain.
With an employee badge in their workplace app or mobile Wallet, occupiers can easily access their corporate and shared spaces – from entrance doors to the rooftop terrace – as well as parking, elevators, or printers. Now, thanks to the partnership, employees are one step closer to a fully integrated workplace.
The benefits of the Blocks & Sharry integration
Workplaces have become increasingly digital and employee-focused, and combining Blocks' locker system with Sharry offers a holistic approach to office management and workplace experience. Sharry's workplace platform already integrates mobile access, visitor management, reservations, occupancy analytics, and more, while Blocks enhances this ecosystem with smart solutions for storing, sharing, and delivery.
Together, they create an integrated system that simplifies daily workflows and boosts employee satisfaction:
Locker access by mobile credential or Sharry app
Sharry and Blocks enable users to open lockers, store the items and retrieve them easily via a mobile access badge in Apple, Google or Samsung Wallet or simply by "swipe-open" in the Sharry white-label workplace app. This eliminates the need for physical keys or cards, streamlining the process and making storage management quicker and more accessible.
Locker availability information and booking
In the Sharry app, people can check the locker availability and book it directly from their desk or home, saving time by eliminating the need for in-person checks and ensuring they secure a locker when needed.
User directory
Employees can easily store and share items (documents, agreements, samples, hardware) with a colleague by simply selecting their name from the list, enabled by the synchronized user directory across both platforms.
Real-time notifications
People are then notified about the delivery of stored items, reminded if they don't collect them, and alerted when their self-storage is nearing expiration, all within time windows pre-selected by the employer.
