ID scan & lending cards

Who’s borrowing? Recorded in seconds.

Take a photo of the German ID card and depositoo fills in the details. Regular visitors get a lending card with a QR code — just like a library card.

ID scan

Scan instead of typing

The right details, recorded quickly

No copying out ID numbers, no transposed digits in the address. The person briefly holds up their ID card, you check the recognised details — and you’re on to choosing the items.

Lending card

Regular customers with their own lending card

Like a library card — but for everything you lend.

1

Create a regular customer

When lending, click „Als Stammkunde speichern“ (save as regular customer) or create the person directly in customer management.

2

Issue the card

depositoo generates the lending card with a personal QR code as a PDF — in the design of your choice, ready to print and hand over. depositoo checks an expiry date (“valid until”) when lending.

3

Scan it next time

Scan the QR code or tap the NFC card – the person is loaded. Then go straight on to the items. More about NFC

Customer management

Everything about your regular customers

Customer records

Name, company, date of birth, address, phone, ID number, email and customer photo in one place. The SmartFilter finds the right people quickly.

Customer categories & attributes

Just like in the inventory: your own categories (e.g. members, children, staff) and your own fields. If you like, each customer category can have its own loan periods and lending rules.

History & export

For each customer you see all transactions and outstanding fees. You export the history and your entire customer base as CSV or Excel.

Lending card in your own design

Design your lending cards yourself or use a template — with logo, name and QR code. You set the default card for each customer category.

Undeliverable email

If an email doesn’t arrive, depositoo marks the address as undeliverable. Reminders for that person then end up in the „Manuell erinnern“ (remind manually) list.

Customer portal „Meine Ausleihen“ (My loans)

Via a personal link — without a password — your customers see their loans, due dates and holds and extend loans themselves. More

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which ID cards does the scan recognise?

German and Dutch ID cards. You can skip the scan at any time and enter the details by hand.

What is on the lending card?

The lending card (called „Kundenausweis“ in the app) is generated as a PDF and contains a QR code that lets depositoo load the person instantly on their next visit.

Do I need a regular customer for every loan?

No. You can also record people for a single transaction only. „Als Stammkunde speichern“ (save as regular customer) is an option when creating them.

Who on the team can see contact details?

Only those with the „Kontaktdaten sehen“ (view contact details) permission. By default, helpers only see the name – address, email, phone and date of birth stay hidden. You adjust the permissions per role yourself.
