Sound familiar?
Three problems we hear from every schools team we talk to. metItem is built specifically to fix them.
How many Chromebooks did we actually lose?
Devices go home with students, move between classrooms, and quietly disappear. Come inventory time, the count is a guess and the replacement bill is a surprise.
The science department reordered supplies we already had
Without a shared, current list, departments double-order some things and run out of others mid-semester — and the budget pays for both.
Asset tracking for the district audit
The district or state wants a record of every funded asset — what it is, what it cost, and where it is. It's spread across spreadsheets each building keeps differently.
Built for the way schools actually work
No bloat. No 40-tab settings panel. Just the features that turn tracking into a habit instead of a chore.
Check devices out to staff & students
Assign a Chromebook, iPad, or AV cart to a person or room with a scan. Check-in/out shows who has what and what's overdue, so devices come back at year-end.
Barcode + QR labels for every asset
Label carts, instruments, and kits. Any staff member scans with a phone — no special hardware, no training, fast enough to actually keep up.
Low-stock alerts for consumables
Set minimums on lab supplies, art materials, paper, and first-aid stock. metItem emails you before a department runs out, so reorders happen on time and on budget.
Budget- & audit-ready asset records
Every item carries a cost, funding source, and acquisition date. Export a clean list for the district audit, grant reporting, or next year's budget in seconds.
What teams like yours say
“We hand out 600 Chromebooks every fall. Checking them out by scan means we know exactly who has each one — device loss dropped to a handful, and collection at year-end stopped being a nightmare.”
“Our departments used to order blind. Now everyone sees the same list, and we stopped buying things we already had three of in a closet.”
“When the audit came, I exported the asset list with funding sources and dates instead of chasing five buildings for their spreadsheets.”
Names and studio details anonymized at the request of the customers quoted.
