Grab n Go Loaners

The Grab n Go (GnG) Loaner project is a fully automated loaner management suite that manages enterprise enrolled Chrome OS devices by automatically assigning, returning, and monitoring these devices.

Using the GnG project, enterprise users can self-checkout a loaner Chromebook and begin using it right away, thereby decreasing the workload on IT support while keeping users productive.

The program is comprised of three parts:

• An enterprise G Suite domain
• A Google App Engine (GAE) application
• A Chrome App that runs on each Chrome OS device

Current release: Alpha (v0.7.1a)

Please note that the current release of this application is in ALPHA. We will be actively contributing to the project. Please keep an eye out for future updates and features!

To clone this release run the following command:

git clone -b Alpha-\(0.7\) https://github.com/google/loaner.git
cd loaner
