Case Study: a large U.S. school district uncovers hidden textbook inventory and expects millions in savings with Follett Software

Large U.S. School District expects millions in textbook savings with Follett Software

A large U.S. school district faced a significant challenge with a lack of visibility into its textbook inventory, leading to wasteful spending on resources it already owned but could not locate. To address this, the district partnered with Follett Software and implemented its Destiny Resource Manager to create a centralized, district-wide system of record.

Follett Software provided a solution that paired the Destiny Resource Manager software with its Managed Services. An external team conducted a physical inventory, barcoding and counting all textbooks across the district to establish a trusted baseline. This allowed the district to see exactly what it owned and where, enabling it to stop unnecessary purchases. As a result of working with Follett Software, the district expects to save several million dollars by avoiding the rebuying of textbooks it already possesses.
