Case Study: City of Dallas achieves 1-day asset audits and centralized tracking with Wasp Barcode Technologies' MobileAsset

Keeping the City of Dallas secure with MobileAsset

The City of Dallas’ Department of Intergovernmental Services oversees roughly 4,500 mission‑critical assets used by units such as SWAT, Bomb Squad, Urban Search & Rescue, Homeland Security, Water and IT, including $15M+ in grant‑funded equipment. A decentralized, manual tracking approach left incomplete records, prolonged two‑week audit cycles, and risked unnecessary spending and noncompliance with grant reporting.

The department implemented Wasp MobileAsset Professional with barcode labels and mobile scanners to centralize and barcode every asset. The system delivered continuous, auditable records, cut grant‑audit time from two weeks to about one day, improved maintenance and accountability, reduced costs, and prompted other city departments to adopt the same solution.
