Checkout without the desk queue

When staff cannot stand at the desk

After-hours cages, class changeovers, and one-person media programs still need accountable loans. A locked-down kiosk keeps checkout open without leaving the admin UI on the counter.

Library card and PIN

Borrowers scan a badge, email, or QR card, verify with a PIN, and receive a short-lived kiosk session before adding gear.

• Badge, email, or QR card identity
• PIN verification before the cart opens
• Short-lived session for the desk transaction

Multi-item scan carts

Add multiple asset tags into one cart, confirm once, and see due dates based on the workspace loan period before the kiosk returns to idle.

• Scan several items into one confirmation
• Due dates from the workspace loan period
• Returns to the branded idle screen when done

Org branding on the idle screen

Set logo and button color from workspace Settings → Kiosk so the idle screen matches your program instead of a generic tablet wallpaper.

Same workspace as staff loans

Kiosk checkouts are not a side system. They land in the same Gearlog workspace as desk loans—overdue lists, borrower history, and reports stay unified.

Hardware that fits a cage

Run on a tablet or PC at the desk. Use USB or Bluetooth scanners when you have them, or fall back to the camera when you do not. Builds and platform notes are on the kiosk downloads page.

Common use cases

• Unattended AV cage after hours with a locked-down tablet.
• Classroom cart checkout when staff are in class.
• Branded idle screen for a media program front desk.
• Peak-hour overflow so the desk queue does not stall shoots.
