Retrofit-ready smart lock stack.
Three layers that automate any shared facility — hardened smart locks, software that runs your operation, and integrations that plug into your booking platform.
Connects to your booking platform. Instantly.
- Pre-built connectors for leading booking and rental software
- Automate access credentials tied to reservations — no manual key handoffs
- Single API to manage locks across all facilities and locations
From booking to back on the cage, fully automated.
Five steps, zero handovers. igloo's smart locks plug into your booking platform via a single API.
- 01
Booking lands in your system
Reservations come in from your website widget, a hosted booking page, or in-person via QR. Details flow straight into your booking platform.
- 02
Access code generated
igloo's API automatically issues a time-bound PIN — valid only for the reservation window. No data hub and no WiFi at the gate needed.
- 03
Players unlock the gate
Guests receive the code by Whatsapp, SMS or email. They tap it into the smart gate lock, walk onto the court or pitch, and start playing.
- 04
Slot ends, gate re-secures
When the reservation window closes, players leave and the igloo gate lock code expires. The cage is ready for the next booking.
- 05
