Why Schools and Sixth Forms Are Turning to Envoy™

Improved Device Utilisation + Accountability + Real-Time Insights = Reduced Costs

Across the UK, more schools and sixth forms are turning to smart lockers as they seek smarter, more sustainable ways to manage IT devices. As education budgets tighten and digital learning becomes more embedded in everyday teaching, the need for efficient, secure, and scalable solutions has never been greater.

Smart lockers, like LapSafe®’s Envoy™, are transforming how devices are loaned and managed, saving time, reducing costs, and improving learning outcomes.

Why Smart Locker Use is Growing in Education**

Traditional methods of device management often involve manual processes, lost teaching time, and a high risk of devices going missing or being underused. Smart lockers remove these pain points with automation and real-time data insights.

Here’s why schools and sixth forms are making the switch:

Reduce Operational Costs
Eliminate Manual Admin
Streamline Device Distribution
Maximise Teaching Time
Increase Security & Accountability
