Case Study: Patterson Unified School District achieves complete inventory oversight and rapid 1:1 deployment with Hayes Software Systems' TIPWeb-IT

$5 MILLION 1:1 INITIATIVE simplified with the implementation of TIPWeb-IT

Patterson Unified School District (11 campuses, ~5,598 students) faced a looming $5M 1:1 rollout and the purchase of nearly 6,000 Lenovo devices but lacked reliable inventory tracking. Director of IT Nicholas De Pauw found the district’s antiquated system and ad-hoc Excel/Google Sheets processes couldn’t verify device assignments, track repairs, or complete timely physical audits—putting the initiative and student accountability at risk.

The district implemented Hayes’ TIPWeb-IT, integrated with the Aeries SIS, enabling barcode/ID scanning and electronic signature capture for fast, accurate device assignments. With smooth onboarding and ongoing support, Patterson now tracks 12,033 devices worth $4.68M, cut physical inventory time from weeks to two days, improved audit speed and device accountability, and ensured timely distribution to students and teachers.
