Bookings
Make Your Items Available Online
Using Scanlily, you can make your items available online for checkouts and reservations.
Scanlily is ideal for booking anything you can put a QR sticker onto. Here are some examples.

Booking Modes
There are three Scanlily booking modes:
1. Checkout Mode
This is like checking out tools or checking out books from a library.
The states for your items are Available and Checked Out. You can see who has checked out which tool
2. Reservation Mode
This is like reserving a meeting room.
Users reserve on a calendar. They get an email reminder when the reservation is about to begin. You can see a calendar of future reservations.
3. Reservations with Pickups Mode
Users reserve the item on a calendar. When they come to pick up the item, they can scan it and pick it up in the system. When users (hopefully) return the item before it is due, they can scan it to return it. There are various notifications in this mode such as a reminder for when to return the item or a notification that can go out to the reserver and you if items are overdue.
All three modes can involve Booking Notifications. Read more about that below. They also involve multiple Reports to help you manage your assets.
Booking Notifications
Booking Notifications are emails and/or text messages that are sent to users to remind them about something.
For example, they may get a notification when a checked out item is overdue. Or they may get a notification when a reservation is about to begin.
