School districts appreciate the value of assets like laptops, textbooks, musical instruments, and sports equipment, which enhance the educational experience. However, managing these assets can be time-consuming and energy-intensive. This is where efficient asset management systems come into play.

More than 25,000 schools trust the Follett Destiny® Educator Platform to track all district assets in a centralized system. This solution enables efficient tracking, distribution, and collection of resources, ensuring maximum return on investment.

The Destiny Educator Platform is specifically designed for schools and districts to manage curriculum resources and 1:1 devices, offering complete transparency and easy integration with Destiny Library Manager for comprehensive asset management.

Here are six common challenges schools face and how the Destiny Educator Platform can help:

1. Safeguard Valuable Resources

Imagine your district has 10,000 students, each with a $300 Chromebook. If these devices go missing, it can result in significant financial loss. Destiny Educator Platform helps you track who has returned their devices and who hasn’t, preventing unnecessary replacements and aiding in budget communication.

Similarly, if a district needs additional textbooks due to increased enrollment, the platform helps reallocate resources effectively, avoiding unnecessary purchases.

Solution: Invest in Resource Management Technology

Investing in Destiny Educator Platform offers easy-to-use reporting capabilities, visibility into district resources, and efficient transfer of items between schools. This investment ultimately saves time and money by preventing unnecessary purchases.

2. Manage Mobile Devices Efficiently

While providing technology to students is essential, ensuring they access appropriate content is equally important. Managing this balance can be challenging.

Solution: Implement Mobile Device Management

The Destiny Educator Platform’s mobile device management (MDM) capabilities help monitor data and regulate content access. It also allows seamless data transfer from Google Workspace or Jamf Pro, ensuring synchronized systems and efficient asset management.

3. Simplify Year-End Audits

Year-end audits are crucial but time-consuming. Educators need efficient tools to manage this process.

Solution: Use Automated Reporting Features

Destiny Educator Platform’s built-in integrations and automated reports simplify data integration, audit trails, and periodic inventories. This streamlines the audit process, freeing educators to enjoy their summer break sooner.

4. Optimize Help Desk Workflows

Technical issues with student devices can be stressful for both students and educators. Effective communication with the help desk is vital.

Solution: Automate Workflows with Help Desk Integration

The platform’s help desk integration streamlines device management workflows, allowing easy issue reporting and real-time updates. This automation ensures informed decision-making and efficient problem resolution.

5. Maximize Budget Efficiency

Educational budgets are often tight, and efficient resource management is crucial.

Solution: Manage Unlimited Assets with One Flat Fee

Destiny Educator Platform offers a flat fee per location, allowing unlimited resource tracking. This cost-effective solution maximizes investment and safeguards valuable resources, providing a higher return on investment.

6. Access Expert Assistance

Educators often need additional support in managing assets efficiently.
