Self-Service Device Swaps & Returns — 24/7, No Staff Required
Your IT service desk shouldn't be a bottleneck. With Asset-Custodio-powered smart lockers, staff can swap faulty devices, collect replacements, and return equipment at any time — without waiting for IT support.
The Problem With Traditional IT Service Desks
- Staff queue at the helpdesk for device swaps — losing productive time
- IT team overwhelmed with routine device exchange requests
- Out-of-hours breakdowns leave staff without equipment until next day
- No tracking of which device was swapped, when, or by whom
- Replacement devices not charged or ready when needed
How Smart Lockers Transform Your IT Service Desk
1. Self-Service Device Swaps
Staff authenticate at the locker using their RFID card, PIN, or QR code. Asset-Custodio verifies their identity, opens the correct compartment, and dispenses a pre-charged replacement device — instantly. The faulty device is returned to a separate compartment for IT to collect and repair.
2. 24/7 Availability
Lockers operate around the clock. Whether it's 2am or a weekend, staff can access replacement devices without waiting for IT support hours.
3. Automatic Ticket Creation
When a faulty device is returned, Asset-Custodio automatically creates a repair ticket in your ticketing system (e.g. FreshService). IT is notified immediately — no manual logging required.
4. Full Audit Trail
Every swap is recorded: who returned the faulty device, which replacement was issued, timestamp, and locker location. Complete accountability with zero admin effort.
5. Break/Fix Tracking
Track devices through the full repair cycle — returned, logged, repaired, tested, and restocked — all within Asset-Custodio's dashboard.
6. Pre-Charged & Ready
Replacement devices sit in charging lockers, so they're always at full charge when a staff member needs them. No more handing out flat laptops.
