- Key Differentiators:
- Adaptability – We believe software shouldn't be made having only one focus in mind, the world is ever-changing. So we made our software as adaptable and as flexible as possible.
- Standard – No point in keeping reinventing the wheel - to simplify integrations, we use what’s already proven and the most standard processes.
- User centered – User is king. We live by the motto, all of our interfaces have been created with that in mind. We invested a lot of time and resources in UX and UI to make sure our technology is simple and fun to operate.
- Scalable – Our goal is to be the standard smart locker technology solution - therefore all our services must be capable of scaling well and internationally.
- KISS – Keep It Simple Stupid. Following our lean development approach, we always try to make things as simple as possible. This helps in doing better and faster development of our products.
- Adaptability:
- Bloq.it OS is a plug-and-play solution. Adaptability is one of our core features. Our main locker interface is a WebApp, therefore, it can be used on most smart locker computers. The interface was designed to resize and work with any screen size.
- The requirements to run Bloq.it OS are based on the features present on the standard smart lockers. They need to have:
- CPU with any Operative System (Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android…)
- Electric opening doors with Smart sensors
- Secure Internet connection capabilities
- Screen & Keypad or Touchscreen
- The service is complemented and better provided if the lockers have the following:
- Front-view Camera & Cameras for Video Surveillance
- Sound column speakers & Siren for alarm
- Anti-vandalism Touch Screen & Keypad
- Infrared sensors for object detection
- NFC / QR code reader
- Card Payment Terminal
