Glasgow, UK -- March 24, 2025. SOLUS, is proud to introduce the G-Staff App, a groundbreaking solution designed to streamline workflows and enhance efficiency which it will be showcasing at CIL 2025 in Crystal City w/c 24 March.

The G-Staff App empowers staff with seamless hold management, RFID/barcode enabled item processing, integrations for transfers and discards and Smart Inventory with real-time updates

Staff are also empowered to serve patrons in a new way, helping them discover content, place holds, or checkout items to them on the library floor.

It extends to Events and Room Bookngs where staff can welcome attendees at events, check them in and even remotely unlock rooms for people as they walk up… all the time feeding data back in for ROI reporting and future marketing.

Neil Wishart, CEO at SOLUS stated,

"G-Staff can be loaded onto library or staff devices (IoS and Android) with almost full functionality but when paired with our Gizmo hardware, it creates a really powerful combo!"

Gizmo is an industrial-grade Android tablet (just larger than a phone) designed for continuous operation. An all-in-one staff device, it features:

• 2D Barcode Scanner – Supports ISBNs, library barcodes, borrower cards, and QR codes.
• Thermal Printer – Prints receipts, hold slips, and labels on demand.
• NFC/RFID Antenna – Enables RFID tagging, reading, and security management.
• SIM Card Support – Ensures connectivity beyond Wi-Fi range.
• Ergonomic Hand Strap – Enhances comfort for extended use.

"The G-Staff App is a game-changer, giving library staff mobility, efficiency, and the tools needed to enhance service delivery," said Andrew Daye, CTO at Solus. It will modernize workflows and improves patron interactions like never before."
