The technology was designed to simplify the consumer experience. With a simple scan or typing of a code, it is possible to obtain the product quickly and safely, explain the specialist.
No need to race against the clock

Keep your secret, protect your code
The pickup code or QR Code for deliveries is sent only to the user responsible for access. Ensure your confidentiality, it is essential to keep the items intact. "Security is a fundamental pillar of innovation". That's why, access to the content is restricted, but it is the user's responsibility not to share it with third parties, strengthens the executive

Inclusive, those with a greater number of ports, but smaller, bringing operational problems for consumers. It is interesting that residential complexes prefer lockers with larger doors and various sizes. In this way, increases the chance for most condominium owners to have their needs met, score the CEO
