Lightning-fast footfall tracking, instant book search, and simplified PYQ access.

A comprehensive digital layer built to modernize library operations, eliminating queues and delivering resources to students instantly.

The Client

SIES Graduate School of Technology (SIES GST)
Nerul, Navi Mumbai

A premier tech-focused college with thousands of students and heavy daily library usage. The institution needed a system that could keep up with their fast-paced academic environment.

The Challenges

Slow Footfall Tracking

Long queues just to scan ID cards at entry. Friction led to incomplete data as students skipped scanning.

Sluggish Book Search

The legacy KOHA integration took 20–30 seconds to load just 20 results, frustrating users.

Scattered Resources

Finding Past Year Question papers (PYQs) meant digging through external university sites with poor UX.

The Friction Point

"High footfall + slow systems = friction and frustration."

The existing Ourlib + KOHA setup was functional but not optimized for speed. Students needed instant access, not loading screens.

Solution: LibMan

A high-speed automation layer built specifically for SIES GST to bridge the gap between heavy data and user experience.

Lightning-Fast Footfall Tracking

Just show the ID card once, and the entry is captured instantly. No queues, no delays, and 100% accurate records.

Instant Book Search

Reduced query time from 30 seconds to near-instant. Type a word, and results from the large catalogue appear immediately.

Easy PYQ Distribution

A clean interface for subject-separated Past Question Papers. Students can find and download relevant papers in just a few clicks.

Personal Student Accounts

Every student gets a dashboard to track time spent, visit logs, and tagged study sessions (revision, project work) with visual analytics.
