Kolovna S.R.O.

Kolovna companyKolovna company

The Kolovna Project aims to make cycling more widespread by offering Czech customers not only top-quality products, services and technical support, but also improving the logistics of organising a trip.

They want to make bike rental easier for customers from their sites, while maintaining the highest standards of user safety and equipment security.

Their secure container solution for cycle hire is designed to improve the availability of bike rentals at leisure spots. Ultimately, Kolovna plans to expand service to pedestrian zones in Prague, too.

The Key requirements for Kolovna were:

  • Convenient access control for both administrators — with cloud management — and users, with smartphone unlocking of rental sites
  • Easy scalability, so Kolovna can roll out access controlled bike rental containers at hundreds of locations around Czechia, including Prague
  • A system designed for compatibility, so Kolovna can manage multiple security tasks and technologies from a single control point

Kolovna‘s solution is to bring a secure bicycle container to popular cycling locations across Czechia.

These offer secure, monitored access, so customers can safely park their own bicycle or rent one.

Containers must combine security with easy customer access, including unlocking by smartphone. Kolovna needed a platform which could multi task without additional technologies, more software or extra staff. They chose an Incedo Business Cloud system with readers, controller and door modules in every container.

Incedo connects Kolovna’s security software and hardware within a one with a seamless platform. It enables scaling up or down on demand and keeps Kolovna staff in control of their premises from anywhere. The integrated solution includes remote cloud administration, a system for transmitting video surveillance signal and flexibility to add access and security features in the future. 

«Apart from product security, the biggest benefit of the collaboration with ASSA ABLOY included consultations on, and the preparation and subsequent implementation of the system, a process incorporating several other organizations», says Mr Rostislav Posker at Kolovna.

Thanks to Kolovna and their Incedo access system, cyclists enjoy trusted, secure bike storage or can rent a cycle — all with their mobile phone.
