How LabStats Can Help?

·        Hardware Availability 

Arriving at a computer lab to find it overcrowded or closed can negatively affect the student experience. LabStats helps students find the nearest available systems to minimize downtime and wait times. 

·        Software Availability 

Once they arrive at a system, students will use specific applications for studying or projects. LabStats provides real-time usage of the most used software in your environment, along with usage by student groups, to fulfill student demands comprehensively.

Computer labs are no longer used on a single basis. It is common to find students huddled around a single system for their group project. With LabStats live mapping, students get the complete layout of a computer lab including restrooms, lab manager's desk, and much more.
