Key stats from the back office page:

### Demand Report
Page: https://www.lockii.app/features/demand-report

Shows where customers tried to book and found nothing available:
- **Lost bookings**: unavailability broken down by product, location, and time, plus what that unfilled demand was worth
- **Suggested stock moves**: when one location has underused stock and another keeps losing the same product, Lockii suggests how many units to move
- **Estimated upside**: each suggestion shows source utilization, destination demand, and an estimate based on average booking value
- **Buy vs move**: use the same report to decide whether to purchase more stock or shift what you already own
- Suggestions need a few weeks of demand and utilization data. Quiet days or a one-off spike do not create a suggestion. Lockii does not move the stock for you.

### Why Self-Service / Contactless Rental
Page: https://www.lockii.app/features/why

A narrative explanation of why contactless self-service rental works:

**The Problem**: Traditional rental businesses face staffing costs, expensive office space, limited operating hours, and shrinking margins as they try to scale.

**The Solution**: Lockii enables 24/7 pickup and return with about 96% of rentals finishing without staff intervention. Operators can run from small footprints (e.g., 2 car parks instead of a depot), manage maintenance across locations remotely, and handle customer service online.

**The Gotchas (Addressed)**: Identity verification with industry-grade providers sharply reduces fraud risk (study: 94% reduction, to a 0.03% fraud rate—not zero). GPS tracking monitors items both on and off rent.

**The Benefits**: Faster growth without land/office requirements. Most contactless rental companies using Lockii expand to multiple new locations every year.

Key capabilities highlighted: Automated Communication, Identity Verification, GPS Tracking, Digital Locks, Self-Service Extensions.

## 12. Customer Reviews & Testimonials

Lockii has a 5.0 star average rating across all company reviews.

### Christopher: Owner, B&S Equipment
"Lockii is the ticket. I was against all of the other softwares because the workflows just didn't make sense to me. I tried a few different ones then just ran manually with Jotform and Stripe and made my own workflow. Lockii is the first one that has a workflow very similar to mine except it takes my hands out of it."

## 15. About & Team

Page: https://www.lockii.app/about

Lockii was founded in 2019 by Bodhi Hawken. The company is based in Melbourne, Australia.

The company started by building the world's first fully automated paddleboard rental system in regional Australia, because no existing software could take a booking, verify a customer, unlock a physical item and confirm its return without staff on site. Lockii ran that system on its own rental fleet before selling it as software. Lockii launched as a product in mid 2025. In early 2026 Lockii was backed by Australia's largest startup accelerator.

The mission is to make renting things as easy as buying them online.

Everything Lockii builds is designed around four pillars: automation, conversion, security, and scale.

The company serves operators across Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Canada.

Team:
- Bodhi Hawken, Founder & Lead Engineer. Building rental automation since 2019, with a background in IoT and operations automation. Leads product and engineering from Melbourne, Australia. https://www.linkedin.com/in/bodhi-hawken/
- Andrew Nunn, Founding Sales. Joined Lockii in early 2026. Works with operators from first touch through to franchise launch. Based in Melbourne, Australia. https://www.linkedin.com/in/acnunn/
