Mobile Locker

Mobile Locker provides automated locker solutions for festivals & events, transport hubs, and other high-traffic locations across Europe. Their lockers give visitors a simple and safe way to store jackets, backpacks, prohibited items, or personal belongings, so they can enjoy the event without carrying everything around.

But behind that simple visitor experience, there is a complex logistics operation. Locker units need to be transported, delivered, unloaded, and installed before the event starts.

For Mobile Locker, transport is not just about getting equipment from one place to another. It is about making sure the lockers arrive when they are needed, where they are needed, and without adding extra stress to an already high-pressure environment.

Challenge: managing transport with fixed event deadlines

Festival logistics are unpredictable. Mobile Locker transports large locker units and containers to locations ranging from city festivals to mountain events with snow, limited access, and last-minute changes.

Yet every event has one thing in common: a fixed opening time. The team needs enough time to unload trucks, position the units, and complete the setup before visitors arrive.

Before working with CtrlChain, arranging transport involved a lot of manual work. The team had to manage emails, compare prices, track confirmations, and use spreadsheets to stay organised. During the busy summer season, when Mobile Locker manages hundreds of transports, this created extra pressure and increased the risk of mistakes.

Mobile Locker needed a more structured and reliable way to manage transport while staying flexible when plans changed.

Solution: simplifying transport management

CtrlChain brings bookings, updates, and communication together in one clear system.

Mobile Locker can request transport, confirm bookings, follow updates, and keep track of movements in one place. This gives the team a clearer overview of what is booked, what still needs attention, and where each transport stands.

The visibility is particularly useful during festival build-up. The team at Mobile Locker can check from their phones where a truck is and when it is expected to arrive. If a truck is five minutes away, they can prepare the forklift and coordinate the crew before it reaches the site.

More than a system

For Mobile Locker, the collaboration is also about how CtrlChain works.

Communication is clear, responses are fast, and pricing and margins are shared openly. This transparency fits naturally with Mobile Locker's own approach to working with festival clients.

The result is a relationship built on trust. CtrlChain does not feel like an external supplier, but like an extension of the team.

“I would describe CtrlChain in two words: honest and convenient.”

That trust also matters when things do not go according to plan.

On one occasion, the wrong type of truck was arranged for a transport involving large locker containers. CtrlChain communicated the issue clearly, took responsibility, and arranged replacement trucks within the same day.

The lockers still arrived on time. For Mobile Locker, that kind of response is essential. In festival logistics, problems need to be solved quickly and everyone needs to know what is happening.

Supporting growth and sustainability

As Mobile Locker grows across Europe, having a consistent way to manage transport becomes increasingly important. The company already works with partners in markets including Germany, England, Spain, and Poland, with the long-term goal of making CtrlChain its single transport provider across Europe.

The collaboration also supports Mobile Locker's sustainability ambitions. CtrlChain gives the company the possibility to offset transport-related CO₂ emissions, while better visibility and planning can help support more efficient transport operations as the business grows.

The result

The collaboration has made transport easier to manage, more transparent, and less stressful for Mobile Locker.

With a clearer overview of bookings, transport status, and truck locations, the team spends less time coordinating transport and has more time to focus on the festival itself. At the same time, fast communication and reliable support give Mobile Locker confidence that issues will be handled quickly when plans change.

For Mobile Locker, CtrlChain means having one less thing to worry about when an event is about to start.

CtrlChain is technology-oriented, modern, and reliable, and above all, a fair and transparent partner.
