Volunteers, not staff
A four digit PIN on a shared tablet, so nobody needs an email address and a password to take a table.

KitDesk
Volunteers borrow things on a Friday and bring them back on a Sunday, mostly. KitDesk is the bit that remembers who took the PA system, without anybody having to be the person who chases it.
A four digit PIN on a shared tablet, so nobody needs an email address and a password to take a table.
The same kit for the same slot every week, booked once.
PA gear, heaters and extension leads carry test dates, and lapsed items stop going out.
A reminder the day before and a chase the day after. It is the system asking, not a member of the congregation.
Starter at £19 a month covers one group with up to 150 items, which is most halls. Seven days free to see whether it sticks.
KitDesk is equipment booking and inventory software. Organisations use it to record what equipment they own, who has borrowed it, when it is due back, and whether it is still safe to lend. It suits schools, hire companies, churches, clubs, offices and anywhere else that lends shared kit to its own people.
Three plans: Starter at £19 a month for one site and up to 150 items, Standard at £39 a month for up to three sites and 750 items, and Unlimited at £79 a month with no limits and hire charging included. Every new organisation gets seven days free first, and no card is needed to start.
Yes. Every organisation that signs up gets seven days with everything switched on, and no payment details are asked for. When the trial ends your data stays exactly as it was and you can still export it, whether or not you decide to pay.
No. KitDesk prints QR labels and a phone camera reads them, so no extra hardware is needed. A USB barcode scanner does work if you already own one, because it behaves like a keyboard, and you can always type an item reference by hand.
Yes. Each item can hold a PAT test date, a service date and when each is next due. Anything past its due date is blocked from being booked out rather than merely flagged, so equipment cannot leave the building on a lapsed test.
