What to look out for when buying products?

The ClassBuddy™ range is a cost-effective solution to store, charge and update devices such as laptops, Chromebooks and tablets in volume.

LapSafe® are thrilled to announce we are officially members of ‘Made in Britain’ and are proud to be associated with such a prestigious organisation. Being a member of ‘Made in Britain’ highlights that our products are manufactured and assembled within Great Britain.  We are committed to British manufacturing and try where possible to buy components to support British companies.

It’s no secret, that over the past few years’ workspaces have vastly changed, with more and more staff hot desking or hybrid working, the IT department have their work cut out. It’s all about enhancing the users experience and speeding up IT response times. 

We understand you may not want your Diplomat™ to look like any other dull locker. Perhaps you want bold and bright, or a smooth blend into the environment, or keep it on brand with your company colours. 

Many companies promote their Smart Charging System, but it’s probably left you thinking, what is Smart Charging... and how smart is it?

 We all want to protect our future, meaning we all need to take responsibility for the way we operate and the daily choices we make. Here at LapSafe® we pride ourselves on the quality of products we design, manufacture and deliver. 

Net Promotor Score ® – what is it and how is it calculated?

Thinking of introducing multiple devices such as laptops, Chromebooks or tablets into the classroom?

Buying a trolley or cabinet to keep them safe and charged is simple, right? 

Times Higher Education rankings.

Bespoke solutions customised to your workflows

LapSafe® brings you tested and proven secure, charging trolleys, cabinets and lockers for laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, and other IT equipment. However, were you aware that as well as laptop trolleys and cabinets, LapSafe® also offers self-service lockers customised to your workflows?

Libraries have always been important to children and adults alike. Today, we are in the midst of a tremendous shift in the way we consume literature and find information. However, the one thing that hasn’t changed is that libraries continue to play a central role in providing open and free access to information and resources for everyone.

At times you may need to provide your workforce easy access to technology. Or, you may have to manage dozens of devices all at once (all those new ‘working from home’ laptops returning to the workplace!). Are you trying to create a chilled working environment, free of desk top clutter?

Technology within sixth forms and colleges has evolved over the last few years, changing the way students learn and access course content. I don’t need to tell you that the Covid pandemic has increased the need for online content and remote learning.

A university survey produced in 2016 by LapSafe® showed that 44% of UK universities had automated their manual laptop loan service or introduced the new service into their libraries. Of these, a whopping 87% had chosen to do so by using LapSafe®’s Self-Service Device Loan Lockers. This figure has continued to increase year on year.

How much time is wasted loaning out laptops or tablets to your frontline staff at the beginning of every shift? Do you have a member of staff manually ‘checking-out and checking-in’ devices? By automating this process, you can save valuable time and reduce staff interaction whilst saving IT services time up-dating devices.

During the last twelve months we have seen the increased demand for more and more digital devices to be made available to students. The Covid-19 pandemic has dramatically increased the need for remote learning, anytime and anywhere.

We are all familiar with the need to social distance, something that has become part of daily life for most of us, but what does this mean for daily life in an education setting? How can we help staff and students work together whilst staying apart?

Much of the advice being given is about managing people and behaviour, but what of our environments? The classroom, the library, the staff-room?

How often do you clean your laptop or computer keyboard? I bet it's not that frequently. You might wipe your screen with the odd screen wipe every now and then but actually cleaning the keyboard, come on admit, not that often.

With so many case studies under our belt, we thought we would share with you the top reasons why our customers decide upon self-service laptop/tablet loans.

A flexible learning space allows a range of people to use the same space, in a variety of ways, to best suits their learning style. 

Times are hard enough for some students, without the added impact of the pandemic. In this day and age, there are still students who do not have access to their own laptop or tablet, an issue compounded by a sudden move to online learning. Students are depending upon schools, colleges and universities, to provide new types of learning resource.
