Case Study: Derry Township School District achieves streamlined asset management and a top Pennsylvania ranking with Asset Panda

How Derry Township School District Became One Of Pennsylvania’s Top Educational Infrastructures With Asset Panda

Derry Township School District, a mid-sized public district in Hershey serving roughly 3,500 students, needed an affordable, transparent way to track technology and other assets while staying within tight taxpayer-funded budgets. Previous systems (FileMaker and Google Sheets) proved too error-prone—staff accidentally deleted data and important fields like purchase orders were often omitted—so the district switched to Asset Panda in August 2016.

Using Asset Panda’s clean import, barcode generation, multi-location tracking, customizable mobile app and unlimited custom fields, staff can update and reassign assets from desktop or phone, reducing lost devices and data errors. The streamlined, web-based system improved operational efficiency and transparency, helping the district earn higher rankings (Niche: #9 in Pennsylvania, #163 nationally) and freeing staff to focus more on students.
