Higher education institutions must provide IT resources to students when and where they need them. This necessitates rethinking lab hours in a way that fulfills student and staff demands and minimizes downtime and resource wastage. By IT asset manager and optimizing lab hours, IT leaders can enjoy the benefits of significant savings and enhanced student experience. LabStats allows you to track software and hardware usage across campus and identify trends to make data-informed decisions.
IT leaders can also use the LabStats API and Power BI dashboard template to gain advanced insights on computer lab usage. LabStats has benefitted thousands of universities across the globe by optimizing lab hours, for instance, opening a computer lab beyond its scheduled hours before finals, closing smaller labs on weekends to minimize resource wastage, and how much staff to allocate to handle specialized devices and equipment like 3D printers.
How LabStats Can Help?
· Hardware Availability
Arriving at a computer lab to find it overcrowded or closed can negatively affect the student experience. LabStats helps students find the nearest available systems to minimize downtime and wait times.
· Software Availability
Once they arrive at a system, students will use specific applications for studying or projects. LabStats provides real-time usage of the most used software in your environment, along with usage by student groups, to fulfill student demands comprehensively.

Computer labs are no longer used on a single basis. It is common to find students huddled around a single system for their group project. With LabStats live mapping, students get the complete layout of a computer lab including restrooms, lab manager’s desk, and much more.
