Customer Profile

Howden Insurance Brokers is one of the fastest-growing international insurance groups, known for its commitment to people and client-first philosophy. With over 25 years of success, Howden has established itself as a trusted industry leader, earning accolades like ‘Broker of the Year’ in 2022. Operating across 45 countries, Howden employs over 14,000 people worldwide, reflecting the company’s rapid growth and commitment to providing top-tier service.

The Challenge

With its global growth, Howden’s workforce expansion introduced the need for efficient, streamlined device access for employees across multiple locations. Traditionally, device deployment required IT staff to manage and distribute technology in person, diverting valuable time and resources. This manual process became increasingly impractical as the workforce scaled, and Howden needed a more effective solution to ensure every employee had quick and reliable access to devices when needed, while allowing IT managers to focus on strategic tasks.

The Solution: LapSafe® Diplomat™ Pro Smart Lockers

LapSafe® offered the perfect solution: self-service Diplomat™ Pro Smart Lockers. These smart lockers enable Howden employees to easily borrow and return devices without requiring IT assistance, reducing wait times and eliminating the need for full-time staff involvement in device deployment. With LapSafe’s advanced locker technology, each device loan is tracked, ensuring a clear audit trail and accountability.

The London office, a beautifully designed space with a minimalistic aesthetic, required the lockers to blend seamlessly into the environment. LapSafe® custom-designed the Diplomat™ Pro Smart Lockers to match Howden’s aesthetic, providing two 24-bay units that integrate perfectly with the surroundings, preserving the office's clean, contemporary style.

• Increased Efficiency: By automating device loans, IT managers save time and can focus on more strategic priorities.
• Reduced Costs: Minimising manual deployment has led to significant cost savings in IT staff hours.
• Seamless Integration: Customisable locker designs ensure the units blend harmoniously with the office interior.
• Enhanced Accountability: Built-in audit trails offer complete transparency over device usage.
