The Problem

IT equipment handovers are still stuck on paper

Paper forms get lost

Printed handover forms end up in filing cabinets, get coffee-stained, or simply disappear. When you need proof of a handover months later, good luck finding it.

No proof of handover

Without a signed record, there is no way to prove who received which equipment and when. Disputes about lost or damaged laptops become he-said-she-said.

Manual tracking in spreadsheets

Tracking equipment assignments in Excel is error-prone and always out of date. Multiple versions float around, and nobody trusts the data.

Digital Forms on Mobile
