The FUYL Smart Locker System allows tech team members to efficiently manage and track hardware assets to know the whereabouts of devices. They can manage device users and protect their personal information by integrating their existing identity management system.

With the FUYL System, there's no need to manage a separate user database. By integrating FUYL with your existing identity management system, device users can self-authenticate right at the kiosk using SSO or other credentials they already know.
