How it Works
ForwardPass gives users secure, self-service access to the devices they need—without waiting for IT. Users authenticate, collect or return their assigned device, and every transaction is automatically tracked, giving IT visibility without the manual work.
More than a charging cabinet
Charging and storage are only the beginning. ForwardPass helps IT teams manage the full device lifecycle, from loaners and replacements to repairs, deployments, and returns. With self-serve workflows and remote access control, users get the device they need while IT keeps visibility into every handoff.
Choose Your Workflow
Loaners
Loaner programs run fully automated. Users check out temporary devices on their own, while the system enforces return rules and sends overdue alerts. IT gains confidence that every loaner is tracked, and users avoid downtime.
Repairs
When a device fails, users check it into the smart locker, which automatically generates a repair ticket on the spot. Devices awaiting service are logged and secured in one place, making it easy for IT to collect and process them all at once.
Deployments
IT can assign and distribute devices without lines, signatures, or delays. Users collect devices through a guided, self-serve process, while IT tracks every pickup in real time for complete accountability.
Replacements
If needed, users can replace failed devices permanently. They drop off the broken one, pick up a new one, and the system automatically logs both and updates the inventory.
Charging
Lockers double as charging hubs, keeping devices powered, safe, and available on demand. Users never show up with dead batteries, and IT no longer manages cables, outlets, or charging cart chaos.
