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.
