Why Campus Efficiency Starts With Smarter Tools

In today’s competitive educational landscape, institutions are expected to deliver world-class facilities with limited budgets — all while improving student experience, administrative efficiency, and academic outcomes. From classrooms to libraries, every touchpoint counts.

One area that often lags behind in digital transformation is the library — a core academic resource. Traditional gate registers, underutilized management systems, and scattered communication lead to inefficiencies that affect not just the library, but the entire campus workflow.

Enter In-Out Plus, the latest innovation from Omkar Kakeru, founder of PlayTech. This upgraded version of the popular In-Out Management System (trusted in 20+ countries) offers a seamless, scalable, and smart solution that integrates directly with the world-renowned Koha Library Management System.

Why In-Out Plus Is a Game-Changer for Institutions

In-Out Plus isn’t just a library tool — it’s a comprehensive digital platform designed to optimize operations, improve student engagement, and minimize infrastructure costs. Whether you’re a college principal, IT head, or institutional decision-maker, here’s why this app deserves your attention.

1. Eliminates the Need for Costly Hardware Investments

Traditionally, tracking student entries required individual computer systems or scanners at each gate. In-Out Plus eliminates this need by enabling mobile-based check-ins using student phones — instantly digitizing your gate register with zero extra infrastructure.

That means:

• No additional systems per location

• Lower maintenance and electricity costs

• Faster implementation across campuses

2. Seamless Integration with Koha

Many institutions already use Koha, but struggle with real-time updates, student history retrieval, and notifications. In-Out Plus solves this with:

• Automatic Koha updates

• One-click access to student history

• Smooth sync of check-in/out data

This streamlines library operations and drastically reduces the manual workload for library staff.

3. Unlimited Push Notifications for Maximum Engagement

From overdue reminders to event announcements and book arrivals — institutions can now communicate instantly with students through unlimited push notifications.

The result?

• Higher compliance with return deadlines

• Better student participation in library programs

• Lower manual follow-ups by staff

4. Community Building Made Easy

The built-in college community module acts as an internal social platform. Institutions can:

• Share announcements

• Publish academic or cultural events

• Foster a sense of community and connectedness

This feature promotes student engagement while keeping all communication centralized and paper-free.

 5. Data-Driven Decision Making

With In-Out Plus, institutions gain access to:

• Detailed footfall reports

• Usage trends across departments

• Student reading behaviors

• Real-time activity logs

These insights help administrators make informed decisions about resource allocation, reading programs, and infrastructure development — all based on real data, not guesswork.

6. Scalable and Globally Tested

Institutions in over 20 countries already rely on the PlayTech ecosystem for their library management needs. This isn’t a beta product — it’s a proven solution, now upgraded for modern educational demands.

Whether you manage one campus or several, In-Out Plus is designed to scale without friction.
