Laptops and cameras reserved, collected and back on time.
School and university desks hand out laptops, cameras, tablets and chargers to students and staff, and need them back before the next class needs them.
vFound Equipment lets people reserve kit ahead, hands it out with one scan, reminds borrowers before it is due and shows what is still out.
One workspace for everything your desk looks after.

The equipment desk problem
A clipboard does not stop two classes booking the same camera, and at the end of term nobody knows which laptops are still out.
How it works
Put a QR label on each item and scan it to hand it out or take it back, from any phone or tablet.
- Reserve a specific item or any one from a category, and require approval for categories that need it.
- Hand out a whole kit, such as a camera, lens and charger, in one scan.
- Borrowers get a receipt with the due time and a reminder before it is due.
- Rules can limit how many items a person has and block new checkouts while they have anything overdue.
Self-checkout at a kiosk
Pair a tablet at the desk and borrowers check equipment out themselves: they give their email or reference, scan each item and sign. Your team sees every checkout on the same record.
Stock-takes and maintenance
Scan everything on the shelf and see what is missing. Record serial numbers, warranty dates and a maintenance log for each item, with service reminders.
