Problem Statement
Both universities were dealing with outdated reservation methods, such as manual administration and limited visibility of equipment and facilities.
This resulted in inefficiencies, long wait times and increased administrative burden for employees. In addition, they needed an integration system that works smoothly with existing logins, such as SURFconext, and provides opportunities for collaboration and equipment sharing with other institutions.
Desired Solution
Wageningen University and Radboud University wanted an app that would:
- Efficiently manage reservations for research equipment and facilities.
- Make use of a centralized system that matched their corporate identity and familiar environment.
- Create seamless links with existing systems such as SURFconext for user-friendly and secure login.
- Have flexibility to create advanced booking options and personalization based on user needs and expert training.
Solution
The Emendis booking app offered a powerful solution that met all the universities’ needs:
Personalization and corporate identity
The booking app offers a fully personalized experience with a login in the university's corporate identity. This creates a recognizable, secure environment for users and reinforces the brand identity.
Advanced management system
The robust management system allows administrators to easily manage reservations, user information and reports, reducing administrative burdens.
SURFconext integration
The integration with SURFconext allows students and staff to access devices directly without additional logins, simplifying the process.
Efficient booking of equipment and facilities
Intuitive booking options allow users to reserve equipment at times that are most convenient for them. The option to make equipment available for collaboration between universities allows students and researchers to make efficient use of shared resources.
Expert Guidance
Users can obtain authorized user status after training by an expert, allowing them to access the equipment independently.
With this solution, the Emendis booking app provides Wageningen University and Radboud University with an efficient, secure and user-friendly platform that eases the administrative workload and strengthens cooperation between educational institutions.
