MAKE IT FIT YOUR WORK
Need more from this solution?
Have a workflow that Loan Desk doesn’t quite cover? Tell us what you need. We can discuss whether custom development would be a good fit.
Ideas we can discuss
- Reservations and booking calendars — plan future loans and avoid booking conflicts.
- Due-date email reminders — discuss scheduled borrower reminders and overdue follow-up.
- Barcode or QR scanning — identify equipment during checkout and return.
- Equipment condition and maintenance — record condition checks and service schedules.
- Loan approvals and handover records — adapt sign-off steps and handover documents.
- Links to existing borrower records — connect the workflow to your existing people or client data.
These are ideas for custom development, not features included in Loan Desk. We’ll review feasibility, scope and cost with you. Integrations and team use would require additional development and testing.
Let’s talk about your workflow.
Tell us what you would like to change or add. Asking is free and does not commit you to paid work.

Custom work is scoped and quoted separately. The free Loan Desk download remains available. Your enquiry does not subscribe you to marketing emails.
