Smart Locker Management System with Biometric Verification
We designed and developed a complete Locker Management System for a client whose business model is similar to a private locker service provider (bank-style lockers for city users). The system streamlines locker allocation, user management, payment tracking, and visit monitoring with advanced biometric integration.Core Functionalities• Locker Management All lockers are pre-configured within the system, allowing administrators to easily monitor availability, status, and assignments.• User Registration & Locker Assignment When a new customer enrolls, their complete profile is captured, including personal details, payment preferences (monthly / yearly plans), and unique fingerprint data for identity verification. Lockers are assigned based on user requirements.• Biometric Authentication (Fingerprint Integration) Integrated with a fingerprint scanning device to ensure secure user verification. Each visit is authenticated biometrically, eliminating impersonation risks.• Visiting History Tracking Every customer visit is automatically recorded after successful fingerprint verification, providing a detailed audit trail.• Payment & Ledger Management The system maintains a robust payment module where:Payments can be recorded manually
- Overpayments / underpayments are handled via Debit / Credit ledger logic
- Full payment history per user is preserved
- Accurate balance calculations are ensured
• Automated Monthly Billing (Cron Jobs) For users on monthly plans:
- Locker charges are auto-deducted on the 1st of each month
- Users are notified about due payments
- Ledger entries are created automatically
• Notification & Due Tracking Users receive alerts regarding pending payments, improving collection efficiency.
Tablet-Based Self-Service EnrollmentTo enhance usability, we added a tablet-based registration workflow:
- Users fill out their details via a digital form
- Data instantly appears in the admin panel
- Admin reviews & approves the request
- Locker assignment and all workflows continue seamlessly
