However, deploying their platform posed a challenge. Carrot’s system relies on tablets for user interaction and data collection in public and semi-public spaces such as recycling centers and bin rooms. These devices are used frequently by multiple people, making security, accessibility, and durability critical for their success.

Challenge

Carrot needed a solution to protect their tablets from theft, tampering, and environmental damage while ensuring easy access for users. Without reliable hardware protection, the risk of damage or misuse threatened the platform’s functionality and user experience.

Solution

Carrot partnered with Compulocks to deploy secure tablet enclosures that addressed these challenges. Compulocks enclosures provided:

• Physical Security: Lockable designs deter theft and unauthorized access, ensuring tablets remain secure in high-traffic areas.

According to the company, "The wall mounts from Compulocks solved a potential big headache for our customers, allowing the tablets to remain safe and in good condition even in high traffic areas. This allows both Carrot and our customers to safely deploy the software where it is needed, and in the end contributing to reduced waste, improved recycling and being compliant with reporting requirements."
