Background info

Some of our equipment has a very high rate of usage and demand. By using the lockers we can provide more flexibility in terms of when returns and pick ups can be handled. Returning equipment in the appointed time is important since there will likely be a next project right after another.
Likewise, picking up the equipment in time is important, some projects are very short and could use the equipment that mightlater be found available due to being unfetched. Unfetched reservations will be cancelled at the end of the day.
