Customer Success – Ursuline Academy of Dallas

Ursuline Academy of Dallas, an independent college preparatory school, relied on a manual, paper-based process to track student IT devices, which was time-consuming and hard to manage. Staff had to re-enter transactions daily and follow up individually on overdue equipment. The school implemented Wasp Asset to automate check-in and check-out with barcode scanning, automatic overdue reports, and reminder emails. Today, the IT team tracks 4,000 assets across 200 locations with real-time visibility into who has what. The result is faster transactions, stronger accountability, and accurate records that support audits and reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Wasp work for both K-12 schools and higher education?

Yes. Wasp works for both K-12 schools as well as colleges and universities. Wasp Asset helps schools track student devices, classroom technology, furniture, facilities equipment, lab equipment, research assets, and other fixed assets. Wasp Inventory helps schools manage classroom supplies, lab supplies, maintenance materials, office supplies, and other inventory that is stocked, consumed and reordered.

It depends on what you need to track. Wasp Asset tracks fixed assets such as student devices, laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, classroom technology, IT equipment, furniture, facilities equipment, lab equipment, and research assets. Wasp Inventory tracks inventory such as classroom supplies, lab supplies, maintenance materials, office supplies, replacement parts, and other consumables.

Asset tracking manages the durable things a school owns and reuses, such as student devices, equipment, and furniture. Each asset has its own record with details like location, assignment, and history. Inventory management tracks the supplies and consumables a school buys, stores, uses, and reorders by quantity. Most schools need both. Wasp Asset handles asset tracking, while Wasp Inventory handles inventory management.

Yes. Wasp Asset tracks assets across multiple schools, buildings, and campuses, while Wasp Inventory tracks inventory across multiple locations. You can transfer assets or inventory between sites and use mobile barcode scanning to perform audits and inventory counts.

Wasp Asset tracks grant- and E-Rate-funded assets throughout their lifecycle, including purchase value, funding source, location, assignment, and depreciation. Perform mobile asset audits and generate reports to support grant compliance and fixed-asset reporting.

Asset tracking increases accountability for devices and equipment, helping reduce loss and unnecessary replacement purchases. Inventory tracking helps schools maintain the right supply levels, reducing stockouts and overbuying. Together, they give schools accurate records for budgeting, purchasing, and audits, so you buy what you need instead of what you think you need.

Wasp recommends the WPS1500 omni-directional scanner and the WWS652 cordless 2D scanner, along with the WPL308Plus and WPL305 desktop barcode printers for labeling and tracking student devices, equipment, furniture, and supplies. All hardware is pre-tested for compatibility with Wasp Asset and Wasp Inventory, giving schools hardware and software from a single source.
