Overview
The Device Repairs workflow is designed so that users can drop off broken devices securely, and admins can later collect these devices, troubleshoot them, and return them efficiently. This workflow simplifies device repair logistics, reduces downtime, and enhances user convenience without relying on manual intervention.
