Case Study: Gananda CSD achieves 75% faster inventory and 99% tracking accuracy with Wasp Barcode Technologies

Gananda CSD - Customer Case Study

Gananda Central School District, a small New York public district serving about 1,200 students, struggled with a manual, Excel-based IT asset process. With no clerical support the technology team spent hours tagging, logging, and shipping equipment to schools, then relied on pairs of student workers for slow, error-prone annual inventories — with no audit trail to show who made changes and growing anxiety about spreadsheet accuracy.

By implementing Wasp’s asset tracking software and mobile barcode scanners, Gananda centralized its asset database, eliminated manual data entry, and added real-time updates and user audit trails. The results: a 75% reduction in staffing hours for physical inventory, summer inventory cut from four weeks to one, 99% tracking accuracy (only two unaccounted-for assets in 2014), processing ~400 new assets in 40 minutes (versus eight hours previously), and about $3,500 annual savings — restoring confidence in audit reporting.
