Device Loaning Made Simple: Booking & Reservations

Managing access to shared devices can be challenging, especially when demand is high. With LapSafe®’s Smart Loaning Lockers, bookings and reservations are simple, flexible, and efficient, making it easier for teams and individuals to access the technology they need when they need it.

Two Flexible Ways to Book

Our Smart Loaning Lockers support both block bookings and single bookings, offering complete control and convenience:

  • Block Bookings

It is ideal for staff who need to reserve multiple devices in advance. Whether it’s a class set of tablets for a morning lesson or a suite of laptops for team training, block bookings ensure devices are available and ready at the required time.

  • Single Bookings

Perfect for individual users needing temporary access to a laptop, Chromebook, or tablet. Users can pre-book a device for a specific time slot, ensuring it's charged and available when they arrive.

If a device isn’t collected within the allocated time, it’s automatically returned to the pool—maximising availability for others and reducing downtime.

Seamless Online Reservations

Users can also reserve devices online in advance through the intuitive ONARKEN® platform. Reservations guarantee availability for a set period and are automatically cancelled if not collected on time, keeping devices in circulation and reducing unnecessary hoarding.

Benefits at a Glance

  • Fair Access – Everyone gets a fair chance to book what they need.
  • Improved Availability – Smart automation ensures devices are returned to circulation if not collected.
  • Better Planning – Enables teams and individuals to organise device access around their schedules.
  • Reduced Wait Times – Book ahead, skip the queue and get straight to work.
  • Custom Booking Rules – Set durations, access levels, and more to suit your operational needs.
  • Data-Driven Insight – Monitor usage trends and peak demand to inform future IT planning.
  • Supports Sustainability – Reduces unnecessary charging and device overuse, helping extend battery life and lower energy consumption.**
