Compatible with your library system
We build the connection to your existing library system. We tailor integration, through SIP2 or other available mechanisms, to your institution’s user authentication, transactions and circulation policies.
Integration · Most modern library systems via SIP2
Your existing library system.
A new mobile experience.
Prestalib is compatible with most modern library management systems via SIP2. We connect the app to the one you already use to offer NFC self-checkout and self-return, while keeping your circulation policies.

From the phone’s NFC reader
to your library system.
The phone reads the item, the app records the transaction and RFID security is handled automatically. A simple experience for the user, connected to your library operations.

The RFID reader is already in the phone
The app uses the phone’s built-in NFC reader to read item RFID tags, with compatible devices and tags. Users can borrow and return items on their own phones. Barcode reading is also supported.
Automatic security handling
During borrowing and returns, the app automatically handles the RFID tag’s security state using the phone’s NFC reader. We validate tags and gates with your library. Reading a barcode alone does not change RFID security.
Returns inside the library
The app requires users to be inside the library to return an item: they first read the fixed return-point tag, which we supply, and then the book’s tag. The return is recorded and the user leaves the item at the designated location. We define this workflow with your team before launch.
