PC management made simple

Our PC Bookings solution was designed and built in partnership with libraries to ensure the best possible experience for end users and library staff.

Flexible bookings

Patrons can book a PC by using any web browser or by walking up to any spare PC in the library.

Custom alerts

Users receive progressive alerts displaying the time remaining and more frequent alerts when less than 10 minutes remain.

Easy management

Librarians can view real-time PC usage sessions, end sessions early and block library members when required.

Multilingual

Including separate PC language availability and browser language detection.

PC Bookings Features

Monitoring

This web-based staff portal allows library staff to monitor and manage public PC usage across all locations. Staff can view and end active sessions in real time, make and manage PC bookings, organise computers by area or type, and automatically find available time slots. The system also supports managing branch availability and opening hours, blocking PCs or users when required, issuing access codes for guests or non members and enforcing usage limits for individual users.

The client software supports Windows environments with potential support for Mac and Linux. It can be configured to log out, reboot, or shut down devices automatically at the end of a session. It includes offline functionality and offers a simple two-click deployment process with no device-specific configuration required. Built-in diagnostic tools, accessible via a keyboard shortcut, also help simplify troubleshooting and support.

The reporting module provides organisation-wide insights into PC usage and performance, including total sessions, unique users, booking durations and overall utilisation. Staff can compare activity across branches and identify usage trends through visual tools such as device utilisation heat maps, helping to support planning and resource allocation.
