ASSET MANAGEMENT GUIDE

ASSET PANDA
(www.assetpanda.com)

Asset Panda is a cloud-based system for tracking assets via native mobile and web apps. It enables on demand access to valuable information about equipment, employees, or basically anything else that needs to be tracked. The customizable interface allows users and administrators to perform complex actions by simply scanning a barcode or clicking a button in the app. Everything from check-in/check-out to auditing is made easy, which saves our users time and money. Asset Panda is priced based on the number of assets being tracked, not by the number of users. Pricing also includes implementation service from Asset Panda’s team of experts that customize the system to work exactly the way schools want. Built-in barcode scanning software saves schools the expense of buying separate equipment.

The program monitors barcoded textbooks in addition to laptops, tablets, and band and sports equipment, and provides school districts with greater organizational efficiency and effectiveness, ensuring accountability as well as student learning responsibility. It gives administrators the data and insights they need to track and circulate all school assets and make accurate, fact-based budgeting and purchasing decisions. Destiny Resource Manager integrates with Follett’s Destiny platform, so there’s no additional data importing for customers. The program allows schools/districts to track and manage textbooks and other resources within one program, while staff and students are able to create help tickets internally for assistance on technology, textbooks or any other assets. Resource Manager also provides more reporting opportunities and the ability to customize reports.
