There is no comprehensive solution that enables students, academic staff and teachers to manage and provide equipment at universities easily and intuitively? Then you're wrong, because with the booking software from anny completely new doors are open to you.

At the moment, thousands of rental processes of individual accessories and devices take place at a university or college each year, which are taken care of by employees, mostly student assistants. How are these processes currently organized?

This often involves using outdated versions of Microsoft Excel in combination with a request form. Another approach is to use programs that are more like an online store, making them unsuitable for a lending system and leading to confusion. In other universities, the entire process is still done on paper and the person responsible for administration can only be reached by phone or in person during working hours. There is no question of automation here.

Why a resource management and booking software?

The application of an intelligent system at colleges and universities makes it possible to make equipment and devices, as well as rooms or office hours, bookable. Students and all employees can thus see the availability of subject-specific materials in the first place. Making resources available at a reasonable price is the core of successful teaching. The process of booking and lending the inventory of the respective institution is organized and optimized by a resource management solution.

What requirements should universities and colleges have for a lending system?

  • Availabilities, inventory and authorizations can be viewed transparently by all users and providers and can be searched for specifically.
  • Each university can offer its resources, such as individual cameras or a photo lab, for individual booking.
  • Booking, customer and occupancy data are stored and entered into the database so that they are backed up and always remain retrievable. Exports of collected data are possible and valuable decision-making aids.
  • Current technical standards for information security are taken into account and the guidelines of GDPD are included.
  • Intuitive operation without training for the borrower, which means that even international students and teachers have no difficulties in using the system.
  • Never-ending development of the software, which responds to needs in close collaboration with universities.
  • Smooth communication between borrower and provider, starting with the selection of the rental period, confirmation of a request, appointment reminders and other communications.
  • Configurable forms that are queried at the time of booking.
