Streamline your inventory tracking and equipment rental with one user-friendly solution; Hector.
What our school inventory management system can do for you
Here are some of the functionalities you will love with our inventory management system:
1. Track all your assets with easy barcode scanning
You can easily scan the asset tags of every item to keep track of your inventory, and know where each item is located. You can use barcode scanners or scan the bar codes or QR codes with your mobile devices thanks to our mobile app. This way you always know what school has what equipment or consumables. With a Cloud-based software like ours, no need to be at the office to know your inventory levels and manage inventory levels.
2. Know in real-time your stock levels and when to reorder
Managing consumables and IT equipment can be pretty time-consuming. But not with Hector. You always know in real-time if you’ve got a low inventory on specific items with our low stock alerts, you get a notification when it’s time to reorder. You can even create purchase orders and work orders straight in the software.
3. Manage equipment & room rentals
Students can have their own Hector account, enabling them to rent equipment, you keep track of who rented what assets, when they are due to be returned, and when they are late. Students can even receive alerts or consequences when their item is late. You can easily check-in and check out items with barcodes scans, and rent rooms just as easily.
4. Get financial reports in seconds
May it be for financial audits, or your insurance, you know exactly how much your inventory is worth, for each school, department or building.

Excel is fine if you have juste a few things to track, but educational institutions have many assets, in many different locations, which makes human error all the more dangerous. With Hector you have a management platform to track assets easily and have everything in one place.

When is it time to order new laptops or Chromebooks? Is this one still on its warranty? What’s the serial number? Does it need preventive maintenance initiatives?
