Addressing the Biggest Asks in School Districts Through Asset Management

Blogs

February 24, 2023

In a recent survey, we asked some of our customers, “What are some of the biggest asks in your district?” The three responses we heard most often were:

  • To reduce costs
  • To reduce the number of vendors and contracts when possible
  • To increase efficiency with the tools your district owns

Reducing Cost

Follett Destiny® Resource Manager is designed to support district administrators with managing, tracking, and reporting on a district’s resources. The platform easily supports the management of technology resources, textbooks, curriculum materials, special education resources, and more – items that aren’t currently supported through the district’s library management software.

It’s a scalable system with a pricing structure by site, allowing you to spread the cost of Destiny Resource Manager across multiple departments. This means the more resources you put into the system, the higher return on your investments.

For example, some customers may start with just one category of resources. You might begin with one-to-one devices, then move to curriculum, and eventually include athletics or Special Education materials. The choice is yours.

The data and reporting available in Resource Manager can also help save your district money. It provides accountability, security, and reporting of any asset you choose to include, offering valuable insights into your resources – their location, status, history, and more.

Reducing the Number of Vendors and Contracts

Logging on across multiple sites and systems can lead to a multitude of issues: problems with vendor communication, tech support challenges, data not fully integrating, and difficulty in seeing a full spectrum.

Follett is one of the only vendors that offers comprehensive PreK-12 solutions through one vendor. This provides you with one place to log on, one place to call for technical support, and one place to talk to your representatives.

Improving Efficiency

When a school district subscribes to both Destiny Library Manager and Resource Manager, they experience improved efficiency for students and staff. Students can work within the same system as staff, providing increased visibility for both district resources and library materials.

All these advantages benefit districts and sites by saving you time and money while becoming more efficient. Follett Software is a proven PreK-12 solution designed to meet your needs wherever you want to start.

By addressing these key concerns, Follett Destiny Resource Manager helps school districts streamline operations, cut costs, and enhance efficiency, ensuring no student is ever left empty-handed.
