Laptop and tablet trolleys
Book a whole trolley or a single machine. Staff scan the label with a phone rather than finding the technician.

KitDesk
A secondary school with 200 shared items at an average of £180 each is holding £36,000 of equipment on a sign-out sheet nobody fills in. KitDesk replaces the sheet with QR labels, a tablet by the cupboard and an automatic chase for anything that has not come back.
Book a whole trolley or a single machine. Staff scan the label with a phone rather than finding the technician.
Hold the test date against each item. Anything lapsed cannot be booked out at all, which is the point.
Repeating bookings for the weekly club, and a fortnight timeline so two departments do not both plan on the same projector.
Walk the store with a phone, scan what you can see, and the list of what nobody has laid eyes on shrinks as you go.
Nothing here needs a school MIS integration, a purchase order or an IT project. One person can set it up in an afternoon and import the spreadsheet they already keep.
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.
