How the System Works

Kayakomat is built on four integrated components that work together to create a seamless experience for you as an operator. Understanding these parts will help you operate your station efficiently and independently.

1. Kayakomat.com 

Kayakomat.com is our central booking platform, built and maintained by our tech team.  It’s connected to various marketing services such as Google Ads, SEO features, social media, and more to lead potential customers to our website.

These channels drive traffic to the website, where customers quickly find and book your specific stationa.

On your station page, customers can:

  • Book equipment
  • Find your address and contact details
  • Read practical information about your location

You are responsible for keeping your station page accurate and updated. This is your digital storefront. 
You can see an example of a local website section here

You adjust this section via the “admin page”, see further below + full instructions in our checklist for new operators.

2. Igloo Smart Locks

Our booking system is directly connected to Igloo smart locks using AlgoPIN technology.

Key points:

  • Each booking automatically generates a time-based access code

  • Locks work without internet connection

  • Available in battery-operated or rechargeable versions

You manage the locks via an app called IglooWorks, where you can update settings and perform troubleshooting when needed. You should receive log in details for this app in your start up email. Contact us if you need assistance. 

This system enables fully automated, 24/7 self-service rentals.

3. Admin Page 

The so called “Admin page” is the back end of our booking system.  You reach it by typing in admin.kayakomat.com in your browser and by using the log in details received in the start up email.

This is your control center for your Kayakomat station, where you’ll find all your bookings and can manage your station technically.

Here you can:

  • View and manage bookings

  • Modify, cancel or reschedule reservations

  • Create discount codes and vouchers

  • Monitor booking statistics

  • Access revenue reports and documentation

  • Read customer reviews

This is your operational dashboard and main business tool.

4. MyKayakomat – Your Operator Knowledge Hub

Here at MyKayakomat we gather everything you need to run your station professionally.

Here you’ll for example find:

  • Opening and closing routines

  • Maintenance guidelines

  • Brand and marketing materials

  • Administrative instructions

  • Templates and checklists

MyKayakomat also reflects our partnership agreement— clarifying expectations, responsibilities and available support.

It is designed to give you structure while allowing you to operate independently.
