Case Study: Houston Public Library achieves streamlined mobile device tracking and saves two hours per day with Asset Panda

Asset Panda Helps Houston Public Library Manage Mobile Device Collection

Houston Public Library (HPL), a 44-location system serving Houston/Harris County with 3 million items and millions of annual visitors, needed a scalable way to track mobile devices and promotional materials that patrons check out like books. Staff were managing assets with Excel spreadsheets, which proved time-consuming and impractical across multiple branches.

HPL implemented Asset Panda’s web and mobile platform for inventory management, mobile asset tracking, check-in/check-out, barcode generation and data import, and added the Device Data Agent to sync hardware and software daily. The customizable system simplified tracking and audits, improved staff workflow, and saved about two hours a day, with users reporting an easy-to-use mobile app and strong support.
