Usage mode

Handing out hampers, uniforms and equipment

The system that controls access also controls handovers. Declare the event as a handover and the whole platform changes its wording: what said "entry" now says "handover", and "already scanned" becomes "already collected". Each person collects once, at whichever point suits them, and you know who handed it over.

  • One code, one handover โ€” the second scan is rejected automatically
  • Several collection points working from a single shared list
  • Works with no signal: warehouses, plants, basements
  • Returns are recorded too, not just handovers
  • Full wording in English, Spanish, French, Catalan, Basque and Galician
Handover control with code scanning
Two modes, one platform

Checking who comes in and checking who collects is the same problem

Both have a list of people, one code each, and someone at the door making sure nobody goes through twice. All that changes is what things are called.

Access mode

The usual one: entries and exits, live capacity, control per session or zone. The screen talks about access.

Handover mode

Same mechanics, different vocabulary: handovers and returns instead of entries and exits. A single setting on the event โ€” nothing else changes.

Switch whenever you like

The mode is an event setting, not an account type. Handover campaigns and access events live side by side in the same panel.

Workflow

From the list of people to the last box handed out

1

Load the list

Import from Excel or CSV the people entitled to collect, with the fields you need: department, site, size, assigned pack.

2

Send the codes

Each person gets a unique code by email, as a PDF or on their phone. You can also print them if the group does not use email.

3

Open the points

Set up as many collection points as you need. They all read against the same list, so nobody can collect twice in two places.

4

Hand over

Staff scan with the app and see on screen what belongs to that person. If it was already collected, the scan is rejected and shows when and where.

5

Close and reconcile

Export collected and outstanding to reconcile with the warehouse, and archive the campaign for later.

Use cases

Where handover control is used

Any distribution where it matters that each person collects their own, once.

Christmas hampers and gifts

The classic: thousands of people, several collection points and different pack types per group. Two fields on screen tell staff which box to hand over.

Uniforms and workwear

Distribution by size and role, with the assigned size visible at handover. Seasonal replacements work the same way.

PPE and safety equipment

For when you need to prove it was handed over, to whom and when. Every handover records the staff member who made it.

IT equipment

Laptops, phones and accessories at onboarding โ€” and the opposite movement: the return when someone leaves, in the same system.

Keys, cards and credentials

Handover and return of locker keys, access cards or fleet vehicles, with a history of who had what.

School books and devices

Textbooks, tablets or materials by class and year group, with the return at the end of the year.

Aid and social distribution

Food, kits or aid handed to beneficiaries, with your own list and a check that each one collects their allocation.

Merchandise and welcome packs

Delegate bags, shirts or welcome kits at trade fairs and conferences, with no queues and no paper lists.

Prizes and draws

Prize redemption with a unique code, where the common fraud is claiming it twice. The second scan rejects itself.

The other direction

What you hand out, you often need back

Handover mode records returns as well, which is what turns a distribution into a controlled loan.

  • Loaned equipment: tools, devices or vehicles that go out and must come back, with the history of every movement.
  • Leavers and end of contract: laptop, phone, card and keys returned, with a record of what came back and what is missing.
  • End of season: uniforms, books or kit collected in, knowing at any moment who still has theirs.

What it actually solves

Nobody collects twice

The code is single use. The second attempt is rejected and shows the date and the point where it was handed over, even if that was somewhere else minutes ago.

Several points, no mismatches

Every station validates against the same live list. There are no paper sheets to reconcile at the end of the day.

You know who handed it over

Each scan stores the point and the staff member, using reader accounts with limited permissions.

Works without signal

Warehouses, plants, basements. The app downloads the list, validates offline and syncs when the network returns.

Each person, their own

Your custom fields travel to the scanner's screen: size, model, pack type or whatever decides what gets handed over.

Reconciliation at close

Excel export of collected and outstanding, and the campaign archived and still readable afterwards.
