Project description
Our team shares a growing pool of equipment — laptops, cameras, tools, measuring devices, projectors — and nobody has a clear picture of what is in use, who has it, and when it will be free. People just message each other or walk around asking, which wastes time and often ends with two employees needing the same item on the same day. We want a proper internal booking system instead of a shared spreadsheet nobody updates.
The idea is simple: every item gets a card with its current status, and any employee can open a calendar view to see what is free and reserve it for the exact period needed. Once reserved, the item is blocked for that window so nobody can double-book it. We also want reminders close to the return date, plus an alert if something is not returned on time, and a history of who used each item and when.
We are open to a lightweight custom build or an adaptation of an existing booking framework, as long as it fits our internal network and needs no ongoing vendor lock-in. Please share relevant experience and your approach in your proposal.
What we expect:
— equipment catalog with status and location
— calendar-based reservation per item
— return reminders and overdue alerts
— usage history log per item
