How it works

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    Access code generated

    igloo's API automatically issues a time-bound PIN — valid only for the reservation window. No central server, no WiFi at the gate needed.

  3. 03

    Players unlock the gate

    Guests receive the code by SMS. They tap it into the smart gate lock, walk onto the court or pitch, and start playing.

  4. 04

    Slot ends, gate re-secures

    When the reservation window closes, the code expires. Players leave, the gate locks itself, and the cage is ready for the next booking.

  5. 05

    Add more steps if you like

    Layer identity verification, deposits, waivers, or floodlight control into your booking flow — without changing the hardware.
