For University IT departmentsA campus IT desk lends out more gear in a week than most businesses own. Laptops for a semester, cameras for an afternoon, chargers that never come back at all — and the loan record is a spreadsheet only one person maintains.
A loan laptop is three weeks overdue, and the projector never came back from a guest lecture.
Kit walks out at the start of semester and is counted at the end of it. That is a long time to be guessing.
Built for keys.
Works for anything you need back.
Three things University IT departments say constantly — and what the register does about each.
Every loan carries a due date, and the borrower is reminded themselves when it passes. The desk does not have to run a list and make the calls.
Small things go missing because logging them is slower than losing them. Signing out takes seconds on a phone, which is the only reason it actually gets done.
Each item has a full history — every loan, every return, every hand it passed through. Answering an audit becomes reading rather than reconstructing.
Anything that leaves a counter and is meant to come back. Each item is its own record, with its own history.
Every item is signed out to a person — a staff member, a contractor, a tenant, with a phone number. Two taps at the board or on a phone, and the record is made as it happens rather than written up later from memory.
Anything past its due time texts and emails whoever has it, by itself. Most things come back before anybody in the office has noticed they were late — and nobody has to make the awkward phone call.
One board shows everything that is out, who has it, and how long it has been gone — overdue in red. The question at five o'clock is answered by looking, not by asking everybody in the room.
Set up your board, sign a few things out, and see whether the chasing stops. From $39.95 a month afterwards. Cancel any time during the trial, and there is nothing to install.
