What is School Inventory & Asset Management?

It is a dual-purpose enterprise system. Inventory Management handles consumables like books, uniforms, and stationery sold to students via the Point of Sale module. Asset Management tracks fixed items like computers, lab equipment, and transport buses, monitoring their location, maintenance history, and depreciation over time.

Inventory FAQs

Can I sell items on credit to students?

Yes. You can bill items to the student's account. The amount will be added as "Pending Dues" in the Fee Module to be collected later alongside their tuition fees.

Does it support Barcode Scanners?

Absolutely. The system is compatible with standard USB/Bluetooth barcode scanners. You can generate custom barcodes for books and uniforms to enable fast billing and stock audits.

What is the difference between Inventory and Asset Management?

Inventory Management tracks consumables like Books and Stationery that are sold or depleted. Asset Management tracks fixed items like Computers and Furniture that remain with the school for years and depreciate in value.
