Case Study: U.S. Army (Fort Hood) slashes audit time and saves $30,000 with Wasp Barcode Technologies' asset tracking solution

Fort Hood saves time and money with enhanced accountability for IT assets

Fort Hood, the U.S. Army’s large training installation, needed to account for roughly 1,000 IT assets across multiple on- and off‑base sites while meeting strict government audit and disposal rules. Their previous process relied on handwritten lists and an Access database, which caused data-entry errors, long asset-receipt times and audits that could take days to complete.

Implementing Wasp’s asset management software with barcode scanners and printers automated tag creation, data capture and reporting, simplifying receiving, tracking, auditing and disposal. The result: item entry dropped from up to an hour to under 15 minutes, field audits fell from three days to less than half a day, cyclical audits are much faster, compliance and reporting are immediate, and Fort Hood estimates roughly $30,000 saved in time and effort.
