‟Since switching to Lockii, things have gotten so much easier. I was juggling three different systems before, and now it’s all in one place. It’s saved me a heap of time and stress, and I can actually focus on running the business again. The platform’s really user-friendly, and the support has been unreal — the team genuinely cares and listens. They’ve even taken on board some of my feedback and worked it into future updates, which says a lot.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How does self-service canoe hire work?

Customers book online or scan a QR code at your launch point, verify their identity, and receive a lock code for the canoe storage. They collect the canoe, paddle, and confirm return with photos when finished.

Do I need staff at the waterside?

No. Lockii automates booking, identity verification, access codes, messaging, and return confirmation so your canoe hire can run unmanned at any waterway.

How do you prevent theft of canoes?

Every customer verifies their identity before receiving a lock code. Return photos and optional GPS tracking confirm canoes are returned. Late return alerts notify you immediately if something is overdue.

Can customers extend their canoe rental on the water?

Yes. Customers can extend their booking and pay the difference online without calling you. Their lock code is updated automatically.

What if it rains — can customers cancel?

You control your cancellation and refund policies within Lockii. Automated emails and confirmations handle the process without manual intervention.

Can I operate canoe hire at multiple launch points?

Yes. Lockii supports unlimited locations, each with its own fleet, pricing, and availability — all managed from one dashboard.
