The Challenge
The Muskegon Area Intermediate School District (MAISD) in Muskegon, Michigan, has been serving students in Muskegon, Oceana, Ottawa, and Newaygo county public schools since 1962. The district's mission is to support the achievements of their students and educators, with a vision to be the premier source for quality educational leadership, programs, and services. A key component of their success is the effective utilization of technology. However, the district's Technology Services department was facing a significant challenge. The IT Director discovered that the department's asset tracking system was inefficient and outdated. The system primarily consisted of numerous spreadsheets scattered across multiple departments, making it difficult to manage and track the district's expensive IT equipment. The department was losing valuable time due to this inefficient system and lacked a tool that could enforce accountability for their assets. It was clear that the current system was not sustainable and an upgrade was urgently needed.
The Solution
The district decided to implement Asset Panda, an IoT-based asset tracking solution. This system would replace the numerous spreadsheets previously used, centralizing all asset information in one place. Asset Panda provides features such as check in/check out, custom fields, funding source tracking, asset assignment, and repair tracking. This would allow the Technology Services department to have a clear overview of all their assets, who they were assigned to, their condition, and their funding source. The solution would also enable the department to enforce accountability for the IT equipment, ensuring that all assets were properly managed and maintained. The implementation of Asset Panda would not only streamline the asset tracking process but also save the department significant time, allowing them to focus on other important tasks.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of Asset Panda has significantly improved the operational efficiency of the Technology Services department at MAISD. The department now has a centralized system for tracking their assets, replacing the numerous spreadsheets that were previously scattered across multiple departments. This has streamlined the asset tracking process, making it easier for the department to manage and maintain their expensive IT equipment. The system also enforces accountability, ensuring that all assets are properly managed. This has not only saved the department significant time but has also allowed them to focus on other important tasks, contributing to the overall success of the district.
