A game in 5 turns

Your day, turn by turn

From a family signing up to the annual-meeting report, every step takes a few clicks, often a single beep.

  1. Turn 1

    A family signs up

    A simple scan of the sign-up QR code lets the member register and create a record for themselves and their children. No double entry, no typing mistakes: name, address, phone and so on, plus membership and deposit, are recorded once and for all.

  2. Turn 2

    Lending in two beeps

    Scan the member card, then the game, with a barcode scanner or a smartphone camera. Expired membership or overdue loan? Ludofacile tells you right away.

  3. Turn 3

    Returns, box checked

    On return, the box contents are displayed so you can check them. A piece is missing? Flag it and the game's condition is updated.

  4. Turn 4

    Reminders send themselves

    Overdue loans, memberships about to expire: emails go out automatically, with no export or copy-paste.

  5. Turn 5

    Annual meeting in one click

    Active members, ages, genders, attendance, games and loans per location: the figures for your annual meeting and funders are ready and exportable to Excel.

The core

All the cards in hand from €39/month

The core plan covers everything a toy library does day to day. The essentials are never a paid option.

  • Game and toy catalogue

    Number, photo, box contents, ESAR classification codes, recommended age, number of players, duration, author, publisher, condition, availability and location.

  • Members and users

    A family, an organisation or a childminder, with their users, loans, attendance and a clearly visible renewal date.

  • Memberships and deposits

    Amount, payment method, validity period and deposit (collected, returned or withheld), with prices per category.

  • Loans and returns

    With a scanner or camera, configurable lending rules (number of games, duration) and automatic alerts.

  • Dual-purpose QR codes

    The same QR code on every box: scanned by a member, it opens the public page (video rules, contents, similar games); scanned from Ludofacile, it opens the game for a loan or return.

  • Sessions and attendance

    Open sessions, game nights, workshops, school visits: attendance per user, and one button for the whole family.

  • Automatic reminders

    Overdue-loan and membership-expiry emails, sent at the right time without you thinking about it.

  • Annual-meeting statistics

    Active and new members, ages, genders, attendance, games and loans, per location and period.

Included at no extra cost:

  • Multi-site
  • Unlimited users
  • Excel export
  • Combined search and filters

FAQ

The rules of the game

Do we need to install anything?

No. Ludofacile runs in a browser, on the front-desk PC, a tablet or a smartphone. A USB or Bluetooth scanner is enough, or simply the phone's camera.

Will our volunteers cope?

Yes, that's the whole point. Screens are designed to be picked up quickly, and the volunteer role is limited to loans, returns and attendance, so nothing can be misconfigured.

We use Kawa: will we have to relabel our games?

No. The migration keeps your games' ID numbers. We take over your data, clean it up and train you for half a day.

Are we tied in for several years?

No. The subscription is monthly, billed annually, with no multi-year commitment. Your data can be exported at any time.

We have several locations, does that cost extra?

No, multi-site is included in the core plan: stock per location, statistics per location and unlimited users.

Where is our data hosted?

In France, with a daily backup. That matters when you handle data about families and minors.
