Asset Tracking System Proves Invaluable in Tracking Assistive Technology Inventory for Special Needs Organization

San Jose, California (PRWEB) October 14, 2014

ASAP Systems, a specialist in mobile solutions for inventory and asset management, today announced the full implementation of its Inventory System and Asset Tracking at Down Syndrome Connection. The organization of educators, therapists, and caring individuals has served families who have members born with Down Syndrome since 1998. Utilizing the barcode-based system has saved this educational services organization immensely by reducing the time and effort needed to monitor its inventory of Assistive Technology (AT). In addition, the organization has reduced instances of missing devices and school resources.

“We liked ASAP Systems’ Inventory System and Asset Tracking Solution because of its ease of use and its options to configure data fields, which are what we needed in order to meet our needs here at the connection,” said Karen Baca, Assistive Technology Specialist at Down Syndrome Connection of the Bay Area.

ASAP Systems’ Inventory System has strengthened Down Syndrome Connection’s educational alliance to eighteen school districts with the ability to easily manage the loaning of thousands of Assistive Technology to schools, educators, and families throughout Northern California. Baca and her team could track real-time asset locations, quantities, and users from any computer or mobile device with web browser capabilities. “It has been extremely helpful to know where everything is,” says Baca, referring to the mobile reporting capabilities of the Inventory System. “Even though we are a small non-profit, we are very busy and it’s great that I can look up an iPad or communication device from where ever I am.”

Beyond simply checking in and out of assistive technology, the organization could also assign due dates and attach images and personalized notes to asset files in the system. For example, if a parent or school were to request a certain device for a child, Down Syndrome Connection can easily insert text instructions in the asset file so that the device is available to be picked up or shipped without any mishaps. By allowing users to configure features, ASAP Systems makes inventory and asset management as simple or detailed as needed for organizations within education.
