Outdated Lockers Limited Employee Access
Monarch Casino's employee locker room was outdated, overcrowded, and difficult to manage between shifts. The existing space did not provide enough lockers for employees, creating challenges with locker availability and daily operations. The casino needed a solution that could increase capacity, improve access, and make locker management more efficient without expanding the existing room.
Not Enough Locker Capacity
The casino needed a minimum of 330 individual lockers within the existing employee locker room. The old layout did not provide enough lockers for every employee on each shift.
Poor Locker Condition
Aging metal lockers had become worn, damaged, and difficult to maintain. Missing doors and visible wear created an unprofessional appearance while reducing the reliability and security employees expected for storing personal belongings.
Limited Access Control
Employees were occupying lockers beyond their shift times, which reduced locker availability for others. Management needed better visibility into locker usage to prevent lockers from being occupied beyond assigned shifts and ensure storage remained available for employees throughout the day.
A Smart Locker System Built For Shift-Based Access
Southwest Solutions Group designed a smart employee locker system that met the casino's storage requirements while fitting within the existing locker room. The new system provided secure, keyless access, increased locker availability, and simplified daily management, giving employees a faster and more convenient way to store personal belongings during their shifts.

Capacity, Access, And Visibility In One System
The solution met the casino's storage requirements while improving employee convenience and simplifying locker management. Secure badge access and centralized administration helped keep lockers available, reduce misuse, and support efficient daily operations.
Faster Locker Use Between Shifts
Employees can quickly access secure storage using their employee badges, reducing wait times and simplifying the daily check-in process. The system also improves locker turnover between shifts, helping ensure storage remains available when employees need it.
Coordinated Locker Installation With Badge Access Setup
Successful implementation required careful planning, coordination, and installation to fit the new locker system within the existing space. The project included layout planning, delivery, installation, system setup, and employee training to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to daily operations.
Confirm Room Requirements And Locker Count
The project began with the requirement to fit at least 330 individual lockers in the existing employee locker room. A local Southwest Solutions Group representative met with the customer in person to review the space, access goals, and smart locker approach.
Plan Locker Layout, Power, And Badge Access
The layout centered on 56 columns of six-tier lockers, three touch screens with card readers, and access tied to employee badges. Planning also accounted for electronic lock wiring and system operating parameters.
Prepare Drawings And System Requirements
Project planning confirmed the locker layout, installation requirements, and system configuration before work began, helping ensure the project stayed on schedule.
Manufacture And Move The Locker Package
After production, the locker system was delivered and coordinated for installation within the existing facility. Careful planning helped overcome the challenges of moving the equipment into the locker room.
Install Lockers, Configure the System, and Complete Training
After installation, the customer received training on system operation, administrative functions, and troubleshooting to support a successful rollout.
Support Ongoing Smart Locker Administration
Ongoing support and system management help ensure the locker solution continues operating efficiently while giving administrators the tools they need to monitor and manage daily locker usage.
Faster Access And Better Locker Control
The completed project provided Monarch Casino with a modern employee locker room that improved storage capacity, simplified daily access, and made locker management more efficient. Employees gained secure, convenient storage while management benefited from better visibility and control.
336 Secure Lockers In The Existing Room
The casino needed at least 330 individual lockers and received 336 total compartments within the existing locker room. That capacity helped provide employees with a secure place to store belongings during their shifts.
Faster Check-In And Check-Out
Employees can use their ID at a touch screen, receive an assigned locker based on height preference, and secure belongings without keys. The project reduced wasted time by providing enough locker space and a faster access process.
Better Visibility Into Locker Use
Management gained better visibility into locker usage, making it easier to monitor availability, reduce abandoned lockers, and keep storage accessible for employees throughout the day.
Cleaner Locker Room With Ongoing Control
The upgraded locker room provides a cleaner, more organized environment while giving the casino an easier way to manage employee storage over the long term.
