Schools, nonprofits & equipment libraries
Lend it to a hundred people. Get it all back.
Accountability for gear that goes home with students and volunteers - without an enterprise price tag or an enterprise’s worth of paperwork.
Sound familiar?
Volunteers and students borrow gear all week, and there’s no budget for enterprise asset software - nor the patience for it. You need to know who has what and when it’s due, with accountability but no bureaucracy.
A day with ItemTally
Lend, track, return.
What does the work here
Four things a lending library leans on.
The Logbook
Check an item out to a named person with a due date and a signature. Accountability without a bureaucracy - exactly what lending to a crowd needs.
How it works →The free Shelf tier
€0 fits the budget you actually have. One person can run a real lending library on the free tier - items are never metered, so a big catalogue never costs more.
See pricing →Labels
A QR sticker on every item makes check-out a single scan - quick enough for a volunteer to learn in a minute at a busy desk.
How it works →Mobile app
Run the whole thing from a shared phone or tablet at the counter. No dedicated computer, no IT project, no licence per helper.
How it works →No purchase orders, no invoices, no fines-and-fees engine - that’s fine. ItemTally handles who borrowed what and when it’s due; grants and budgets stay in your finance system. It’s a lending register, kept deliberately simple. Here’s exactly what we will and won’t build →
