Nextgen Device Rental System

In the modern technological world, availability of computers with high performance has transformed from being a professional need to becoming a must-have requirement; however, the issue of constantly increasing costs of quality laptops/desktops is still a major expense for most students and corporations. The current research aims at introducing NextGen Device Rental, which is a central web-based management solution, replacing traditional paper-based systems with automated computerized ones. By using the LAMP framework that includes Linux OS, Apache Web Server, MySQL database, and PHP scripting language, NextGen Device Rental solves the problem of historical data sharing challenges and bottlenecks in the rental business. The proposed system utilizes the concept of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to ensure extremely high levels of data security and privacy along with easy-to-use functionality for efficient rental processes. Technical feasibility of automatic device rental lifecycle, including instant inventory check and automatic invoice issuance has been proven.
