Unique

Technology

Direct4.me D-Spaces use a special set of technologies to bring a unique solution with numerous benefits.

Powerful without external power supply.

Smart without internet connection.

Any mobile phone can be used to pick up a parcel.

Standalone or integrated solution.

Flexible to any use case.

Secure opening

Direct4.me utilizes a cutting-edge One-Time-Password (OTP) or One-Time-Key system to ensure secure and seamless access to its D-Spaces. This backend-driven system is synchronized with the smart lock, providing unmatched reliability.

When a user requests a key to open a D-Space, an encrypted One-Time-Key is generated in the backend. This key is then transmitted securely using Bluetooth (BLE) technology, ensuring fast and reliable communication between the user’s device and the locker. On the D-Space side, the key is decrypted and verified. If the key matches, D-Space will open.

In addition to BLE, Direct4.me’s patented Data Over Voice (DOV) technology provides an alternative proximity-based access option, ensuring broad device compatibility. While still supported, our latest products primarily utilize newer access methods.

Bluetooth and NFC

One-Time-Keys can be distributed via Bluetooth or NFC as well.

Direct4.me transforms parcel locker access with modern Bluetooth (BLE) and NFC technologies. These advanced proximity channels provide fast, secur and reliable solutions for last-mile delivery.

Bluetooth

BLE ensures quick, energy-efficient access between smartphones and D-Space lockers. With broad compatibility across modern devices, it offers seamless parcel pick-up and delivery while prioritizing security and simplicity.

NFC

NFC enables intuitive, contactless locker access. Users simply tap their smartphone or compatible device near the locker to open it, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for customers and couriers.

To use Bluetooth or NFC the use of a mobile app and user registration is essential.

Patented Data Over Voice

Direct4.me’s Data Over Voice (DOV) technology offers a unique, sound-based channel for delivering One-Time Keys to D-Space lockers. While still supported, our latest products primarily utilize newer access methods.

Via Mobile App or Website

One Time Keys are encrypted and modulated into sound files, then played to the locker for secure access.

Through Phone Calls

One Time Keys can also be transmitted as sound signals via phone calls, ensuring compatibility even with basic devices.

Data-Over-Voice is a patented technology proven in other industries like mobile payments, mobile wallets, mobile loyalty, and public transport ticketing systems with over 1.8 billion transactions. While still supported, our latest products primarily utilize newer access methods.

Power saving architecture

All Direct4.me D-Spaces are battery operated, which creates numerous advantages of installing parcel lockers. No special preparation is required.

Direct4.me D-Space architecture is focused on energy saving; the smart lock is in sleep mode throughout the time and only wakes up when the proximity sensor detects a user attempting to open D-Space.

The power-saving architecture enables up to two years of operations for D-Spaces and up to five years for Direct4Smart and Direct4Lean parcel lockers.

Cloud native Software Ecosystem

Cloud Native Software Ecosystem is the real power of Direct4.me with all interfaces including mobile apps, and web portals as well as an API integration framework, which makes it flexible to fit any of your needs.

Direct4.me can be used in any scenario from Out-Of-Home to Home delivery solution; courier agnostic network of public parcel lockers, courier-closed network, parcel delivery infrastructure for communities, home delivery solution, and click&collect solution for eCommerce. In addition, it can be used completely standalone or fully integrated into your IT system, or even partially in any combination.
