Smart Locker Solutions

Loaning Assets

Assets such as laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and equipment can be automatically loaned to users with no staff interaction. Customisable loan rules and notifications help you stay in control.

Intuitive and straightforward, our self-check application allows quick and easy access for users to borrow and return items.

Integration with our SmartLine™ charging system provides an up-to-date status of each device that is charging. It also enables us to confirm when devices are connected, disconnected, charging, and fully charged. All of which enhances workflows and user experience.

Hot Lockers

Provide secure, flexible and personal storage to users that meets their needs at a time that suits them. Pre-assign lockers to specific users; giving them access to free lockers allows users to choose a suitable locker and location or reserve a locker ahead of time to ensure one is available for when you arrive.

Add power to each locker to provide charging facilities for equipment.

Ideal for hybrid and agile workplaces.

Break/Fix

Our Smart Lockers can dramatically speed up device management and improve service levels by providing temporary or new equipment to users to get them back to work as soon as possible. It is also possible to remote into devices to fix software issues without needing users to visit a service desk or for the administrator to be in the same location as the users.

Drop Off & Collection

Allowing users to drop off equipment, consumables, supplies, files, or anything that needs to be collected by other users, is quick, easy, and straightforward with our Smart Lockers. Drop Off and Collections can be easily arranged on the fly at our Smart Locker Terminal or via our administrator portal.

Why do organisations introduce smart lockers?
Smart Lockers can automate manual device loaning. Saving staff time checking in and checking out devices. Our smart locker ranges can increase the user experience and manage loaning, break/fix, drop-off and collect as well as manage hot lockers. They can speed up the management of assets and break/fix.
charged-based vs. time-based deployment?
Time based: When a device is returned and the door shut, we recorded the time the device is back, we then will not release that device back into the loan pool until a set period is elapsed. This is normally 60 minutes. The benefit apart from a cost saving, is that devices are always back in circulation one hour after being put back, most devices will charge to 70-80% in that time. Charge based: Is by far our most popular method as it is completely autonomous and gets devices back into the loan pool as quickly as possible. Once the device is returned, we monitor its charge state, once the device reaches approximately 80% charged the device is released back to the loan pool for the next user. The benefit of charge based vs. time based is devices that charge to 80% in less than one hour are return back to the loan pool much quicker. It provides a far more fluid and dynamic loaning experience when devices have a quick turnaround.
Do you only loan laptops?
No. We our smart lockers loan all types of devices or assets. Our lockers come in various sizes to suit most devices, it really depends upon what you wish to loan.
Where do people install the lockers?
Libraries, corridors, offices, wards, classrooms, warehouses, ambulance stations all sorts of places!
Do you provide a smart locker management portal and dashboard for managing the service?
Yes, each administrator can create their own dashboard about the current state of their lockers, devices, users, loans etc. Run reports and see live use data.
Who are your main competitors?
There are hundreds of locker manufacturers all doing things in different ways, however LapSafe® has a unique offering due to integrated SmartLine™ charging.
