Case Study: Braintree Public Schools streamlines 12,000-device IT asset management with Reftab

Braintree Public Schools manages 12,000 devices and 7,000 users with Reftab

Braintree Public Schools, a public school district in Massachusetts, faced a significant challenge. A two-person IT team was responsible for managing nearly 12,000 devices for 7,000 students and staff across nine schools. They struggled with inefficient, manual processes for tracking device lifecycles, managing loans, and handling software licenses, which was unsustainable at their scale. The district turned to the vendor Reftab for a solution.

By implementing Reftab's IT asset management platform, the team established a single source of truth for all hardware and software assets. Key features like the loanee system, change logs, and API integrations automated workflows, eliminating tedious triple-data-entry and providing full device accountability. The results were transformative: bulk device renames that once took days were reduced to minutes, and comprehensive reporting allowed for proactive management of device lifecycles. Reftab provided the scalable platform the small but mighty team needed to efficiently manage their vast inventory.
