What PC Locs does

PC Locs Pty Ltd designs, manufactures, and sells mobile device charging stations, charging carts and trolleys, and the FUYL Smart Locker System for institutional environments. Founded around 2000 and operating for more than 25 years, the company is headquartered in Malaga, Perth, Australia, and is part of the privately held IWS Global group of companies, alongside LocknCharge Technologies (US), Lock and Charge Europe (UK), and Lock and Charge Japan (GK). The FUYL Smart Locker is the company's differentiated platform: a cloud-connected, self-authenticated locker available in Enhanced and Classic variants, with a FUYL Portal for remote configuration, device loan tracking, user access management, and reporting across distributed sites. The hardware portfolio spans charging stations (Carrier, Putnam USB-C PD, CarryOn, iQ, Putnam 18, Revolution Giga, Bolt, and FUYL variants supporting 5 to 18 devices), charging carts (Carrier and Revolution for 16 to 40 devices), and accessories, with proprietary ECO Safe Charge power management that stages power delivery to extend battery life.

The company sells through a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales (Account Executives delivering demos, consultations, and quotes) with a formal Reseller Partner Program and Partner Portal. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; all engagements are consultative and quote-based with multi-year contracts, and an optional recurring subscription supports FUYL hardware with firmware updates, cloud connectivity, and post-End-of-Life hardware coverage. Customers span K-12 education, higher education, healthcare, manufacturing and distribution, government, and corporate workplaces, with named logos including Chevron, Nestle Purina, Mars Petcare, Pepsi Bottling, the City of Toronto, City of Geelong, NDIS, and numerous K-12 and tertiary institutions across Australia, New Zealand, the US, the UK, and Singapore. Marketing is content-led, anchored on quantified customer outcomes (e.g., 75% loan time reduction, 25-30 hours saved weekly), vertical-specific landing pages, and SOC 2 Type 1 compliant cloud infrastructure.

In 2025, PC Locs introduced ForwardPass as a new brand for smarter device handoffs, operating alongside the established PC Locs, LocknCharge, and FUYL identities, and has since extended the platform with a Single Use Workflow feature for FUYL Enhanced. The company is privately held under IWS Global with no disclosed external funding, no M&A activity, and a stated employee headcount of 11-50; consolidated group structure spans four jurisdictions (Australia, US, UK, Japan) with no public revenue or ARR disclosure.
