Lorenz Snacks

From choosing your own locker to smart parcel collection – a networked locking solution for a modern workplace.
Case Study CAPTOS PICK-UP Station

Lorenz is one of Europe’s leading snack brands. With a modern office concept, the company wanted to offer its employees not only attractive workspaces, but also a comfortable and secure infrastructure – from personal lockers to the seamless receipt of parcels directly in the office.

The challenge

Lorenz was looking for a solution that intelligently combines two different requirements: flexible, multi-storey locker management without fixed allocation of spaces – and a smart parcel station that handles internal mail delivery without the need for manual key handover. 

Both systems were to be seamlessly integrated into the existing transponder infrastructure and managed centrally.

The LEHMANN solution

Free choice of cupboards – flexibility across two levels

CAPTOS MIFARE locks were installed in the cloakroom areas on both floors of the Lorenz offices and linked via a primary controller to form a networked system. Each employee is free to choose their own locker – regardless of which floor they are on and without any fixed allocation. The lock is opened using the employee’s personal customer transponder, which is already used for other access functions within the building.

Collection Point

Secure and flexible parcel collection at the office

In addition, a smart PICK-UP station featuring CAPTOS MIFARE locks has been installed – fitted into drawers and hinged compartments to create a space-saving, furniture-integrated solution. Dedicated ‘Post Masters’ – selected staff members with the appropriate authorisation – place incoming parcels into the station. The recipient automatically receives a personalised notification email with a PIN code and can collect their parcel using a transponder or PIN. The solution enables contactless, fully automated handover – at any time and with secure protection against unauthorised access.

 

Centralised management with Lehmann Management Software

All locks, controllers and customer transponders are managed via the Lehmann Management Software (LMS) in a clear folder structure – divided into the areas Floor 2, Floor 3 and Pick-Up. For particularly efficient user management, LEHMANN developed a bespoke Excel import function with email integration. Commissioning took place in close coordination between Lorenz-IT and the LEHMANN support team.

What is a Pick-Up station?

Pick-Up stations (postal stations) enable contactless, secure, time-independent and automated collection of letters and parcels at the office.

The result

Today, Lorenz benefits from a fully digitalised locking infrastructure that integrates seamlessly with existing access systems. Staff use a single transponder for everything – lockers, parcel collection and building access. A solution that adapts to everyday working life, not the other way round.
