- Choosing the Best placement For Your Smart Lockers
Choosing the best placement for your Smart Solutions is crucial for maximising their efficiency and impact. We have seen these placed in libraries, corridors, collaborative zones, and positioned outside meeting rooms or within reception areas. Placing your Smart Locker in high-traffic areas like these ensures easy accessibility.
- Accessible Electric Points
It’s important to ensure your chosen locations have accessible electric points to power up your Smart Lockers. Many of our customers have expressed how they arrange for their electrician to put in extra sockets in case they wish to have additional Smart Lockers in the future.
- Seamless Smart Locker Installation
For a seamless installation day, communication and organisation are key. The installation process should have minimal disruptions. LapSafe®’s team will communicate with you throughout the whole process, ensuring you’re aware of when the Smart Lockers are due and that our team know the chosen location, once the Smart Lockers are live our team will either provide you with a live demonstration or a remote video call on of how the Smart Lockers operate.
The Smart Lockers are incredibly easy to use, thanks to LapSafe’s intelligent software ONARKEN®.
In our University College Cork Case Study, Ann Bryne expressed how two laptops were loaned by students within minutes of the installation being completed.
- Introducing Your Smart Locker to Your End Users
The Smart Locker terminal is easy to use, with step-by-step instructions, however, you will need to decide on your best method of communication for introducing the Smart Lockers to the end-users, this could be via email, newsletters, posters, or even a meeting. To create a buzz around your investment you could introduce your new solution in stages; Firing out mailers such as, ‘Coming Soon’, ‘Now in Action’, and ‘Have you experienced the new Smart Locker’. Your end-users will soon be taking advantage of the Smart Locker benefits.
