Give employees secure, self-serve access to laptops, tablets, phones, radios, and shared equipment — while IT keeps every handoff visible, accountable, and fully logged.
Learn MoreStreamline device management with ForwardPass — smart lockers for workplaces built for secure pickup, returns, and real-time visibility.
A ForwardPass workplace locker system automates device handoffs and delivers full visibility — so IT can support hybrid workforces, cut downtime, and keep staff productive 24/7.

office workers interact with IT or tech support on average.

In a hybrid workplace, device access is no longer a simple desk-side interaction. Employees may be onsite on different days, working across locations, starting outside standard IT hours, or waiting on equipment before they can be productive.
Day one should feel organized. But when laptop pickup depends on IT availability, shipping timing, or a scheduled desk visit, new employees can lose momentum before they’ve even started.
An employee may only be in the office twice a week. IT may not be available when they arrive. What used to be a quick exchange can turn into emails, missed windows, rescheduled pickups, and delayed support.
When a laptop, phone, charger, or headset fails, employees need a fast path back to work. If every replacement requires a ticket, appointment, and in-person handoff, downtime becomes part of the process.
Loaners are meant to solve short-term problems, but they can quickly disappear into teams, desks, bags, and home offices. Without a clear checkout and return flow, IT is left chasing equipment after the fact.
Departing employees need a reliable way to return laptops, badges, phones, and peripherals. When returns depend on shipping labels, manager follow-up, or ad hoc drop-offs, valuable assets can be delayed, missed, or poorly documented.
Every office invents its own workaround
One location uses the IT desk. Another uses a storage room. Another relies on reception, facilities, or a local admin. Those workarounds may get the job done once, but they make device workflows harder to standardize, track, and scale.
From global manufacturing companies to financial services firms, organizations use ForwardPass smart office locker solutions to keep employees productive and IT overhead low.
Employees check out loaners, replacements, or accessories on their own — no IT desk, no waiting.
Devices are always accessible, whether it’s during business hours, overnight, or across different time zones.
IT teams assign devices remotely, and new hires easily collect them from a locker on day one.
ForwardPass gives IT full visibility into every device handoff. Real-time logs show who has which device, when it was picked up, and more.
ForwardPass enterprise smart locker connects with your existing IT ecosystem — from identity management to ticketing platforms, and more.
With everyday handoffs running themselves, IT spends less time on device swaps and more time on strategic projects.
Even if you’re skeptical, trial a ForwardPass Smart Locker. You’ll be surprised how much time it saves.
