One Platform to Simplify Asset and Ticket Management Across Your District

Nov 20, 2024

Efficiency in school districts starts with the right tools, but true transformation happens when those tools work together. Simplifying asset and ticket management across school districts with an integrated platform allows educators and administrators to gain real-time visibility, collaborate seamlessly, and eliminate inefficiencies. By connecting data across departments, districts can streamline workflows, make data-driven decisions, and maximize the impact of their resources. 

For districts already using Follett Software to power their libraries through Follett Destiny® Library Manager, expanding that trusted partnership to IT and facilities management is the next logical step. Managing IT assets, facilities, and library resources is more critical than ever. When these essential functions operate in silos, schools face higher costs, operational bottlenecks, and wasted time. Follett Software’s comprehensive platform simplifies asset and ticket management across school districts, providing a unified solution that enhances efficiency and accountability. 

The Challenge: Disconnected Systems Create Inefficiencies 

When school districts rely on separate systems for IT, facilities, and library management, inefficiencies multiply. IT teams use one system for help desk tickets, while facilities teams rely on another for maintenance requests. Meanwhile, librarians manage library catalogs and digital resources, often without integration into the broader district ecosystem. These disconnected workflows create unnecessary delays, increase costs, and limit collaboration.

Over 70% of school districts already trust Follett Software to manage their library resources and student data. Now, that same trust and reliability extend into IT and facilities management, helping districts simplify asset and ticket management across school districts with a seamless, data-driven approach.
