What Our Users Say

‟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 kayak hire work?

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

Do I need staff at the water?

No. Lockii handles booking, identity verification, lock codes, automated messaging, and return confirmation — so your kayak hire runs without staff.

How do you prevent kayak theft?

Every customer verifies their identity before receiving access. Return photos confirm equipment is back, and late alerts notify you immediately if a kayak is overdue.

Can customers extend their time on the water?

Yes. Customers can extend their booking and pay online without calling you. The system updates their access automatically.

What locks work for kayak storage?

Lockii integrates with IglooHome smart padlocks and lockboxes, perfect for securing kayaks on racks, in cages, or within shipping containers at the waterside.

Can I run kayak hire at multiple locations?

Yes. Manage unlimited launch points from one dashboard with independent stock, pricing, and availability for each.
