Storebox

Storebox Last Mile Storage

Storebox is Europe's first fully digitalized self-storage solution. Founded in Vienna in 2015, the company operates locations across Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Belgium, offering private and business customers 24/7 automated access to storage spaces.

For fully automated operation, Storebox needed a reliable, scalable access system that controls multiple locking systems, supports various input devices, and integrates seamlessly with their cloud infrastructure.
