K-12 Asset Management Platform

You don’t have a device problem. You have a visibility problem.

Spreadsheets don’t lose Chromebooks — they just never notice when one walks off. School Manager gives your district one living record of every asset: who has it, where it is, and what it’s costing you.

The question to ask your ticketing vendor

Who decides where your repairs go — you, or your software?

Most K-12 ticketing platforms are owned by a repair company. Every ticket you file is a sales lead for their depot. School Manager is the ticketing solution that doesn’t lock you in to one device repair provider — you choose who touches your fleet, and what you pay them.

Vendor-owned ticketing

  • Tickets route to their repair depot by default
  • Pricing set after you’re dependent on the workflow
  • Local repair shops and in-house techs sit outside the system
  • Leaving means losing your ticket history

School Manager ticketing

  • Route tickets to any provider — or several, and compare
  • In-house techs work in the same queue as outside shops
  • Full repair history stays attached to the asset, forever
  • Renegotiate repair pricing every year — with leverage

Built for the people who get blamed

Three jobs. One record of truth.

Asset chaos lands on different desks in different ways. School Manager customizes your data to match how your district actually runs — not how a vendor thinks it should.

Technology Director

Stop refereeing the loaner pool

“Every August I find out which spreadsheets were fiction. By then the devices are gone.”

Check-ins, check-outs, and loaner assignments happen in seconds at the desk — scanned, stamped, and attached to a student record. Summer collection becomes a report, not an investigation.

  • Device check-ins and check-outs with loaner tracking
  • Bulk changes across an entire grade in one action
  • Ticket routing to whichever repair provider you trust
Business Manager

“The board asks where 1:1 money went. I need an answer that isn’t ‘probably classrooms.'”

Defend the budget with receipts

Every asset carries its full history — purchase, assignments, repairs, condition. Custom reporting turns that into audit-ready answers organized the way your auditor, board, or E-Rate paperwork demands.

  • Tailored reports built on your fields, not canned templates
  • Full chain of custody per device, per student, per building
  • Repair spend visible by provider — leverage at renewal
District Leadership

Make the 1:1 promise hold up

“We told families every student gets a working device. I need to know that’s still true in March.”

Individual and group assignments across schools, buildings, and programs — so leadership sees fleet health district-wide, and no campus quietly becomes the place where devices go to disappear.

  • Assign assets to groups, locations, and buildings at once
  • District-wide view without waiting on four staff members
  • Scalable as fleets, programs, and campuses grow
School Manager highlights

Everything the job actually requires

Ticketing without lock-in

File, route, and track repairs with any provider — local shop, national depot, or your own bench. Your ticket history belongs to your district, not a repair company’s sales pipeline.

Device management

Customize fields, statuses, and views to match your fleet — Chromebooks to hotspots to lab carts.

Bulk assignments

Select an entire grade, building, or cart and make the change once.

Check-ins & check-outs

Scan a device in or out and assign loaners on the spot.

Custom reporting

Build tailored reports that organize your details the way your board, auditor, or E-Rate filing needs them.

Individual & group assignments

Assign assets to students, staff, groups, locations, and buildings — and move them between all five without re-keying anything.

“We ran our first summer collection on School Manager and closed it out in nine days. The year before took five weeks and ended with a shrug. The difference wasn’t effort — it was finally having a record that argued back.”
