Signature Blue Meets Smart Storage

Air France–KLM is a French–Dutch airline group whose brands include Air France, KLM, and Transavia. With a workforce spanning cabin crew, office staff, and visitors, the company needed a locker solution that reflected its iconic blue palette and supported a flexible, hybrid way of working.

The goal was to replace traditional key‑based lockers with a modern system that would be convenient, space‑efficient, and aligned with their global brand identity.

Air France–KLM’s Challenges

Inconsistent Locker Use
‍Remote and hybrid workers left traditional lockers empty, wasting space and management time.

Lost Keys
‍Physical keys were frequently misplaced, creating administration headaches and security concerns.

Lack of Flexibility
‍Office staff, flight crews, and visitors all needed easy, temporary storage but used lockers differently.

Brand Consistency
‍The solution had to match KLM’s signature blue palette and uphold a cohesive corporate image.

A Smarter Solution

Discovery
‍Air France–KLM sought a storage solution to align with their brand, reduce key management, and serve both cabin crew and office staff working flexibly.

Solution & Recommendation
Keynius recommended 2 200 smart lockers across eight sites, operated via a branded WebApp with QR‑code access and full remote management.

Customization & Collaboration
KLM’s team collaborated closely with Keynius to customise the WebApp, install lockers across multiple locations, and train staff for smooth adoption.

Why Keynius
‍Keynius delivered lockers that reflect KLM’s fixed colour palette, with real‑time analytics, remote access, and integration into existing workplace systems.

The Results: Branded, Flexible Storage and Data‑Driven Insights
