Stageholder for Education


Overview


Schools, colleges, and universities manage thousands of assets across multiple buildings and campuses — from classroom technology to laboratory equipment to facilities infrastructure. Stageholder helps educational institutions track assets, manage inventory, simplify audits, and stretch limited budgets.


Key Challenges We Solve


IT Asset Management

The Problem: Laptops, tablets, and devices are distributed across campus. Tracking who has what is a constant struggle.


How Stageholder Helps:

  • Check-in/check-out for loaner devices
  • Manage student device programs (1:1 initiatives)
  • Know when warranties expire
  • Plan technology refresh cycles


Equipment Location & Accountability

The Problem: Equipment moves between classrooms, departments, and buildings. Finding specific items takes time.


How Stageholder Helps:

  • Know exactly where every asset is located
  • Track assignments to rooms, departments, or individuals
  • Scan QR codes to quickly look up any item
  • Maintain accountability for expensive equipment


Budget & Depreciation

The Problem: Limited budgets require careful tracking of asset values and planning for replacements.


How Stageholder Helps:

  • Accurate depreciation calculations
  • Know the current value of all assets
  • Plan replacement budgets based on asset age
  • Track grants and funding sources per asset
  • Generate financial reports for administration


Annual Audits

The Problem: Year-end asset audits are time-consuming and often inaccurate.


How Stageholder Helps:

  • Use mobile app to scan and verify assets in place
  • Quickly identify missing or moved items
  • Generate audit reports in minutes
  • Maintain audit trail throughout the year
