Abstract
A system described herein may provide for the dynamic and secure assignment of lockers that may be used when delivering goods in response to a fulfillment request. In some embodiments, smart tags may be used for packages provided in response to a fulfillment request. A smart locker system of some embodiments may include a set of lockers and one or more scanners that identify goods that have been delivered into a particular locker, such as by scanning smart tags placed on or in packages. The smart locker system may further receive a request from a User Equipment (“UE”), via a contactless tap, to provide the delivered goods, authenticate the UE, locate the particular locker in which the delivered goods are located, and unlock the locker.
