School assets that are on record, not just remembered

An inventory of the institution's goods in one list, with its own configuration

Desks, computers, teaching aids, attendance devices — a school's belongings keep growing, and the records often stay in one caretaker's notebook. The inventory module moves them into the same system as the institution's data, so the asset list can always be opened and accounted for.

  • Every asset and item of the institution recorded in one list
  • Category settings that follow how your institution works
  • Lives in the same system as the school's data and finances

What you get

  • No longer dependent on one caretaker

    Asset records live in the system, not a private notebook. A change of facilities staff no longer takes the history of the goods with it.

  • Handovers with a clear basis

    An orderly list means handovers between administrators, or a foundation audit, start from data rather than a full recount of the storeroom.

  • Categories you define

    Inventory settings let you group assets the way your institution sees them — by room, by type, or by the person responsible.

  • One system with the finances

    Because it sits inside CARDS, the asset record lives alongside the bookkeeping — helping the foundation see the institution's holdings as a whole.

FAQ

Questions about Inventory

What kinds of items can be recorded?
Any asset or item the institution owns — from classroom furniture to electronic devices. The groupings are yours to define through inventory settings.
Who is allowed to manage the inventory?
Access follows the user settings in your dashboard, so only the roles you authorise can add or change asset records.
Is the inventory connected to the bookkeeping?
Both live in the same system, so the asset record can be read alongside the institution's financial reports.
