What LoQit does
LoQit, legally LoQit Sales B.V., is a Dutch private company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Heerenveen, Netherlands, that builds and operates a cloud-based electronic locker system. The core offering is a wired (network-connected) electronic locking system for lockers and dispensing units, paired with a SaaS Locker Management System hosted on Microsoft Azure and accessible via web portal, PWA, and mobile app. Hardware supports multiple authentication methods (RFID at 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz, NFC, BLE, PIN, QR code, fingerprint, and smartphone credentials), and the platform integrates with Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, SAML SSO, HR systems, and student management systems for automated provisioning.
The company monetizes through three streams: hardware sales of electronic locks and terminals, recurring SaaS subscription for the Locker Management System (sold standalone or bundled as Lockers as a Service), and transaction-based revenue from an integrated digital wallet powered by KUARIO, in which LoQit leverages a banking license to manage digital money without requiring physical payment terminals. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales to organizations in education, healthcare, smart workplaces, and leisure, complemented by a regional distributor and installer network covering the Netherlands (Oostwoud, Sonesto), UK (Lockertek, Haiken), Australia/New Zealand (ACG Fire & Security), and the US Southwest (Frameworks); a US office was opened in Englewood, Colorado in January 2025. Named customers include Antonius College Gouda, Erasmus College Zoetermeer, Campus Eemsdelta Groningen, Moorhead Career Academy, HTM, Arriva, IKEA Groningen, Wetterskip Fryslân, Van der Valk Haarlem, and Muckleshoot Casino, with deployments ranging from roughly 50 to 1,800 lockers per site. The company is privately held, reports 1-10 employees, and holds ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, SOC1/SOC2, and GDPR-aligned certifications.
