Case Study: College of DuPage achieves streamlined asset tracking and prevents duplicate checkouts with Asset Panda

Asset Tracking In Higher Education And Community Colleges

College of DuPage, a community college in Glen Ellyn, IL, manages a wide range of assets across its Liberal Arts Department—from IT equipment and art supplies to motion picture/television gear and theater lighting—used constantly by students and faculty. The college struggled with an older asset-tracking system that lacked a relational database, resulting in duplicated checkouts, uncertainty about item locations and status, and inefficient distribution and tracking.

The college migrated to Asset Panda, assigning one barcode per asset and using its relational database to prevent multiple checkouts and provide real-time, anywhere access to asset records. Primarily using the online desktop functionality with mobile app capability as needed, the college reports immediate improvements in tracking accuracy and expects measurable time savings for staff and a positive bottom-line impact after a full year of use.
