Smart resource management for education

Automate the lending and return of laptops, projectors, keys and other teaching resources

As a facilities manager, you know how busy it can get at the service desk. Students want to borrow a laptop, use a camera or pick up the keys for a loan bike. And your team has to keep track of who has what, when it is due back and in what condition. Without a proper system, this costs time every single day and leads to unnecessary errors and frustration.

Less hassle. More time for other priorities.
With the loan locker wall from Nauta Connect, you arrange all of this with ease. Students and staff borrow what they need themselves, twenty-four hours a day. The system registers everything automatically. This gives you full visibility, while taking the pressure off your service desk.

Always an overview of your loan equipment

The loan locker wall is an electronic locker system that lets you issue and return items securely. Whether it is laptops, tablets, keys or other equipment: the system links every item to a user. This way, you always know who is using what and when it has been returned.

The system is easy to use and fits seamlessly into the ICT environment you already have.

 

This is how it works

The loan locker wall automatically records every action – without paperwork or counter traffic. This way, you always have an up-to-date overview of what is on loan and who has something in use.

Reserve

A student or member of staff reserves what they need online.

Receive code

The system automatically sends a QR code or PIN code.

Open locker

That code opens the correct locker.

Return

After use, the item is returned via the same wall.

“We lose fewer items now, mainly because we have much more visibility of what is being issued and returned”
Daan van der Hout, ICT-helpdesk

Works with your existing systems

De uitleenmuur koppelt met systemen die binnen het onderwijs al worden gebruikt. Dat maakt beheer eenvoudig en veilig.

  • The loan locker wall integrates with systems already used within education. That makes management simple and secure.
    • Microsoft Entra (formerly ADconnect): users log in with their own account.
    • SURFconext: secure single sign-on, allowing students and staff to log in everywhere with a single account.
    • TOPdesk: loan and return are registered automatically.
    • SIS or timetabling application: you easily link loan rights to lessons, projects or time periods.

    You only need to enter data once. The system keeps everything automatically up to date and secure. Our specialists help with the installation and make sure the integrations work properly. We arrange not only the loan locker wall itself, but also the set-up and ongoing support.

In practice: Utrecht University of Applied Sciences (Hogeschool Utrecht)

At Hogeschool Utrecht, laptop loans are handled fully automatically with the loan locker wall from Nauta Connect. Students reserve their laptop via an online portal and collect it themselves with a QR code. Returning is automatic as well: the wall immediately registers who has returned what.

“The combination of better service and lower costs means that we are keen to roll out this solution at our other locations as well. The cost savings come from the fact that we no longer need our flexible layer of temporary staff. We are not cutting permanent staff. Thanks to automation, they do have their hands free and more time for personal attention to people.” – Allard Schelhaas, Chief Hospitality at Hogeschool Utrecht
