Case Study: PHBern achieves efficient digital inventory and key management with Timly

PHBern - Customer Case Study

PHBern, one of Switzerland’s largest teacher education institutions, needed a better way to manage a large volume of furniture and keys across multiple buildings and locations. Its annual inventory work was time-consuming, taking about three weeks for furniture and two weeks for key control, and the university wanted a more transparent, centralized, and easier-to-use system. Timly provided the digital inventory management platform used to address these challenges.

With Timly, PHBern automated key assignment and centralized the tracking and categorization of furniture and other resources, with mobile access through the app for real-time updates and inspections. The result was a major reduction in annual inventory effort, better transparency over all movements, faster responses to irregularities, and improved operational safety and accountability. Timly helped PHBern replace more than a month of yearly inventory work with a more efficient, secure, and digital process.
