What is LapSafe and what does lapsafe.com provide?

Updated

LapSafe is a provider of mobile device and asset management hardware and software, offering charging trolleys, storage cabinets, and smart locker systems. Its website, lapsafe.com, presents these products as a way to simplify device storage, charging, loaning, and IT support for organisations in education, business, healthcare, and emergency services. If you need to store, charge, loan, or track laptops, tablets, or other equipment across a site, LapSafe is relevant; if you only need a single charging cabinet for occasional use, a simpler product may be sufficient.

What products and services does LapSafe offer?

The site groups its offering into several service lines, all built around secure, self-service management of devices and assets:

Service What it covers
Loaning Lockers Smart, secure, self-service lockers for loaning devices and other assets
IT Service Desk Device exchange, repairs, and remote management to streamline IT support
Smart Vending On-demand delivery of peripherals and supplies
Personal Storage Flexible, secure personal storage lockers
Collection Lockers Contactless deliveries and collections for post and package management
Storage & Charging Lockers, trolleys, and cabinets for storing and charging devices

The site also describes an AI-powered smart locker line, marketed as ONARKEN-AI®, which it calls the world's first AI-powered smart locker system.

What problems is it designed to solve?

The core purpose stated on the site is "effortless device and asset management." The specific capabilities it highlights include:

  • 24/7 self-service — users can access, loan, and return devices without staff involvement.
  • Faster IT support — device exchange and repair workflows are handled through the locker system.
  • Asset presence detection — the system knows where devices are.
  • Full asset accountability — every loan and return is recorded.
  • Real-time data and analytics — usage is reported through dashboards (the site shows example counters such as loans this year, loans in the past 30 days, and smart locker bays).
  • Easy device loaning and deployment — reduces manual handover work.
  • Cost and efficiency gains — the site frames automation as a way to boost efficiencies and reduce costs.

Who is it for?

LapSafe positions its solutions by sector, with slightly different benefits for each:

  • Primary schools — help teachers and technicians manage IT in classrooms with storage and charging.
  • Secondary schools — device loaning, secure storage, and smart charging to keep lessons running.
  • Colleges and sixth forms — automate manual device loans with remote IT management, 24/7 access, and reporting.
  • Universities — multi-site device management, drop-off and collect, and 24/7 access for a smart campus.
  • Emergency services — rapid issue of devices and equipment to frontline workers through automated systems.
  • Healthcare — automated access to secure drop-off and collection.

How does it integrate with existing IT systems?

The site states that its self-service smart lockers integrate with IoT ecosystems, providing real-time monitoring, automated workflows, and secure remote access. It also says the systems connect with leading third-party tools and applications. If integration with your existing asset management or IT service platform matters, that compatibility is the first thing to confirm with LapSafe directly, since the site does not list specific supported platforms.

What to check before deciding

  • Scale and sites — the multi-site management features are most relevant to universities and larger organisations; a single-site school may not need them.
  • Workflow fit — decide whether you need loaning, IT service desk exchange, vending, personal storage, or collection lockers, since these are separate service lines.
  • Integration requirements — confirm which third-party tools your organisation relies on and whether they are supported.
  • Pricing and upgrade path — the site includes an "Upgrade Request" support page, indicating that upgrades are handled through a request process. Current prices are not published on the page, so costs need to be obtained directly from LapSafe.
