Are Smart Lockers Right for Your Campus?

Every move-in season, universities face a flood of packages, and it doesn’t stop there. From textbooks to tech gear to library exchanges, campuses handle a constant flow of deliveries and exchanges year-round. Managing it all isn’t just about storage, it’s about efficiency, ROI, and enhancing the student experience.

Below, we answer the most frequently asked questions from university leaders on how smart lockers can evolve from package management into a full-campus solution.

What makes Luxer One a “full campus solution” not just a package locker provider?

Luxer One supports multiple university verticals beyond package delivery. Whether it’s library materials, daily order pickup at campus stores, IT equipment distribution, or peer-to-peer exchanges, Luxer One lockers can be placed anywhere, from dorms to stadiums. The system integrates

How does Luxer One integrate with university systems?

Our software integrates seamlessly with campus platforms (Bear Tracks, Brynka, SCLogic, StarRez) for seamless management across the entire campus ecosystem.

That means centralized reporting, detailed analytics on package volume, and easy oversight for administrators. You’ll know exactly how many packages are processed, when, and by whom.

How can we support seasonal demand without permanent infrastructure changes?

Flex Lockers offer a perfect solution. These temporary, modular locker banks are deployable in about 15 minutes to support high-volume periods (like move-in). Once the rush ends, they’re removed—no long-term facility changes required

How does peak season affect operations?

Move-in and the first six weeks of the semester bring the heaviest package volume. Staff often spend hours sorting and distributing packages instead of focusing on higher-value student services.

Can students use their existing ID systems for access?

Yes. Through integration with systems like Transact + CBORD, students can access lockers across campus with their student IDs or mobile credentials, enabling secure, contactless pickup from any locker or room location Transact Campus.

What are some of the main use cases across campus?

Item exchanges anywhere on campus
Event-related storage (e.g., bag drop during games)
Short-term holding for valuables, instruments, or equipment
Campus store access beyond store hours
IT check-in/out for electronics and AV gear
Book/textbook exchange, integrated with existing inventory systems
