Who it’s for · Tool libraries

For tool libraries that keep the kit safe.

Tools go out for a weekend and come back for a check. Gizzago keeps a tool off the shelf until someone has looked at it, and keeps its history in one place.

Your words

Gizzago says what you say.

Set your words once in Settings. Your site, the desk and the emails use them from then on. These are the ones most tool libraries pick.

What fits

Made for the way tool libraries work.

  • 01

    A check before it goes back out

    Mark a returned tool for care: repair, cleaning or quarantine. It cannot be lent until it is signed back in.

  • 02

    Counted stock

    Ten pairs of goggles, six dust masks: track how many you have, how many are out, and how many are left.

  • 03

    Labels you can scan

    Print a label with a code for every tool, and lend and return by scanning or typing the code at the desk.

  • 04

    Plain reports

    What went out, how often, and which tools nobody borrows, for the next funding bid or the next clear-out.

Not yet, honestly

  • Recording an induction before someone can borrow a power tool.
  • Electrical safety test (PAT) reminders.

If one of these matters to you, tell us. Early libraries decide what comes next.

Other kinds of library

We are opening Gizzago to a few libraries at a time.

Tell us about your library and we will be in touch about joining early and moving your catalogue across.
