How ENVOY™ is helping schools significantly cut costs and is saving staff time in the classroom
Every day, schools lose valuable hours manually loaning and returning laptops. At Northfleet School for Girls, this daily admin once consumed two hours of staff time. After adopting LapSafe®’s ENVOY™ Smart Locker, that time was given back, delivering £4,761.90 in savings in the first year and proving the real impact of self-service in education.
Smart lockers, like LapSafe®’s ENVOY™, are transforming how devices are loaned and managed, saving time, reducing costs, and improving learning outcomes.
Why Schools are making the switch
Smart lockers like LapSafe®’s ENVOY™ are transforming device management in schools. Here’s what’s driving the change:
- Cut operational costs by reducing the number of devices needed overall.
- Eliminate manual admin and free staff for more strategic priorities.
- Streamline device distribution so students can borrow equipment in seconds.
- Maximise teaching time with devices that are always charged and ready.
- Improve security and accountability through audit trails and controlled access.
