K-12 and university IT teams manage large fleets of devices that move constantly. Checkout systems track who took what — not where it ended up. And federal compliance doesn't care about the difference.
K-12 and university IT teams manage large fleets of laptops, AV carts, lab equipment, and classroom technology that moves constantly between rooms, buildings, and campuses. Checkout systems track who took what — not where it ended up. Nobody updated the record because updating the record takes longer than moving the thing. So the record doesn't get updated.
Federal funding changes the stakes. Districts receiving E-rate funds are required to maintain accurate device inventories — and auditors check. Grant-funded equipment cannot be disposed of without documentation proving it was used for its intended purpose. "We think it's in B-wing" is not documentation.
End-of-year inventory is a full-day search party every single year. Mid-year equipment requests get answered with "check the cart in B-wing" — which was moved to C-wing three weeks ago and nobody updated the record. Forager makes the record update itself.
Used by: District IT coordinators, campus technology directors, department heads, and library/media staff managing device fleets across K-12 schools and university campuses.
Forager's asset register exports with last-confirmed location, confirmation date, and confirming user. Every federally funded device has a documented trail of where it's been and who confirmed it there. The audit is a spreadsheet, not a search party.
Location history for every device, down to the last room it was confirmed in. You recover 18 more from classrooms and storage areas. The remaining 5 get reported with documented last-known location. The insurance claim goes through without a fight.
Your help desk pulls up the cart in Forager. Last confirmed in Room 208, yesterday afternoon by the afternoon teacher. The sub finds it in 3 minutes. No panic, no disruption, no emergency IT call across the building.
Create a confirmation sprint, divide buildings among your team, and track progress on the dashboard until every device is re-confirmed at its new location. You know exactly what's where — and what's missing — before day one.
Every iPad has a location history showing it's been confirmed in classrooms, by teachers, on school days, for three years. The documentation exists. Disposition approved — no guesswork, no reconstructing records from memory.
Forager shows every projector, its last-confirmed location, and when it was last confirmed. You can answer the question in 30 seconds and schedule a move if needed. No walking the building to find out.
