PadelHaus
Location: Fort Dunlop, Birmingham UK
The Challenge
PadelHaus owner Daljit was manually managing racket hire at his 24/7 courts, often getting calls at 2am from players needing access. Rackets were kept in small outdoor lock boxes that held only 3–4 rackets, and once they were taken, there was no way to restock without visiting the site.
​
To make things worse, the booking platform’s tiny “Hire a Racket” button meant players routinely missed it — turning up expecting to hire equipment, only to find none available.
​
This led to:
​
-
Constant late-night interruptions
-
Lost revenue from missed hires
-
Frustrated players on arrival
-
A system that relied on Daljit being available around the clock
The Solution
PadelHaus installed the iLockerz Sport racket hire and ball vending smart locker system, fully automated and stocked with premium Dunlop gear.
​
Now, players can:
​
-
Hire rackets 24/7 with no staff needed
-
Purchase balls instantly on-site
-
Access far more equipment, with capacity far beyond lock boxes
-
Book on arrival even if they missed the button online
And Daljit can:
​
-
Track inventory remotely
-
Eliminate late-night support
-
Increase revenue from more hires
-
Deliver a premium, modern courtside experience
