Device Lifecycle Management With Smart Lockers
Managing devices across a large organisation, whether in education, healthcare, public services or corporate workplaces, requires more than just tracking who’s borrowed what. It’s about planning ahead, streamlining deployment, reducing admin overhead, and knowing exactly where each device is in its lifecycle.
That’s where smart lockers and intelligent automation step in.
At LapSafe®, our solutions are designed to support the entire device lifecycle from initial planning to secure retirement. By combining our smart lockers with ONARKEN® software, organisations can reduce waste, improve availability, and keep users productive without overwhelming IT teams.
Let’s walk through how we support each stage.
1. Planning and Procurement
It all starts with understanding what you need. We help organisations assess their current setup, forecast future demand, and identify opportunities to improve.
With our experience and insight, you can choose scalable, future-ready solutions that won’t become obsolete in a year. Our smart lockers are designed to work with modern devices and hybrid workflows, with sustainability built in from the start. Whether you're planning a full refresh or expanding your digital estate, our team helps align your device and locker procurement with long-term goals.
2. Deployment and Configuration
Getting new devices into the hands of users doesn’t have to be a logistical nightmare. With LapSafe®, devices can be deployed securely from day one using our self-service smart lockers.
Each device can be pre-allocated, and ONARKEN® takes care of access, tracking, and real-time reporting. You’ll know exactly who’s collected what, when, and from where, without any manual logging or handovers.
It’s a faster, safer, and more efficient way to launch new equipment across any team or location.
3. Management and Maintenance
Once devices are in use, the focus shifts to keeping them operational. That’s where LapSafe® shines.
Our lockers allow users to access devices 24/7 without needing IT support. And if something goes wrong? Faults are automatically reported when devices are returned, so you can act quickly and avoid downtime.
ONARKEN® monitors usage, device battery power levels, and return behaviour, giving IT teams the insight they need to manage resources proactively, not reactively. With full audit trails and custom alerts, you stay in control.
4. Upgrade and Optimisation
Tech moves fast, and user needs change. But that doesn’t mean you need to start from scratch every time.
With LapSafe®, devices can be upgraded or rotated in and out of loaning pools easily. Our modular lockers are built to adapt, so you can scale up or reconfigure layouts as requirements evolve.
ONARKEN® software updates introduce new features without disrupting service, whether you’re rolling out enhanced security, automating new workflows, or adding new asset types.
5. Decommissioning and Retirement
Eventually, every device reaches the end of its useful life. With our smart lockers, returns are secure, logged, and fully auditable, making it easy to retire assets with confidence.
You’ll know exactly when a device was returned, by whom, and in what condition. And because devices can be swapped automatically, replacement units can be allocated with zero disruption to service.
It’s a simple, streamlined approach to lifecycle management that ensures no device gets lost in the system.
The Smarter Way to Manage Devices
From procurement to retirement, LapSafe® helps you do more with the resources you already have. Our smart lockers and ONARKEN® software work together to automate processes, reduce admin, and deliver a better experience for users and IT teams alike.
