Shared Clinical Devices using Asset Management software, combined with Managed services - why am I even discussing this, at the front end it doesn't seem like something armourdog can help with - BUT we can. I know , I know we only sell tablet stands , but hold up and give us a moment to explain.
For a Shared Clinical Device + Asset Management Software + Managed Service opportunity, armourdog’s locpad products are best positioned as the physical security, mounting, and deployment layer that complements the software and managed service components rather than replacing them.
How locpad Strengthens the Solution
1. Secure Shared Clinical Devices
In hospitals and community healthcare settings, tablets are often shared across wards, clinics, reception areas, treatment rooms, and nursing stations.
The armourdog locpad enclosure:
- Secures tablets against theft and tampering.
- Protects devices from accidental damage.
- Allows devices to remain permanently available in clinical areas.
- Supports wall, desk, floor, and kiosk deployments depending on workflow requirement
Customer value: fewer lost devices, reduced replacement costs, and improved device availability.
2. Supports Asset Management Objectives
While locpad is not asset management software itself, it helps organisations achieve key asset management outcomes:
- Fixed-location deployment makes assets easier to track.
- Reduces device movement between departments.
- Improves accountability for shared devices.
- Creates consistent asset locations that can be linked to asset management records and workflows.
Sales message: "The software tells you where the asset should be; locpad helps ensure it stays there."
3. Enhances a Managed Service Offering
For a managed service provider, locpad reduces operational overhead because:
- Devices are physically protected.
- Charging cables can be concealed and secured.
- Less break/fix activity is required.
- Device refreshes are simplified through the modular fit-kit design.
Customer outcome: lower support costs and fewer service desk incidents.
4. Future-Proofing Device Refreshes
One particularly useful differentiator is locpad's modular design.
When a healthcare organisation upgrades from one tablet model to another, they can often retain the main enclosure and stand, replacing only the fit kit and fascia components. This reduces:
- Capital expenditure
- E-waste
- Deployment effort during refresh cycles
Sales message: "Protect the investment in the mounting infrastructure even when devices change."
Our solution combines shared clinical devices, enterprise asset management software, and a fully managed service. armourdog locpad provides the secure physical endpoint, ensuring devices remain protected, available, and consistently deployed across clinical environments. This complements the asset management platform by reducing loss, improving accountability, and lowering support costs throughout the device lifecycle.
