From departmental spreadsheets to institutional control

Higher education has outgrown the departmental spreadsheet

Many institutions still manage equipment, loans, and support requests across departmental spreadsheets, binders, separate help desk tools, and a few people's memory.

That works until someone needs you to account for it.

No record of what left the room

Inventory means room-by-room counts

Grant-funded equipment is hard to locate

Asset Panda replaces scattered records with asset management software for higher education that keeps location, custody, funding, condition, and lifecycle history in one place.

Documented control, less reconciliation

Log loans, transfers, inspections, and funding records where the work happens.

Campus asset tracking, audits, and lifecycle management

Built for decentralized campus operations

Every college, department, and lab in one system

  • Organize assets by campus, department, lab, investigator, or funding source.
  • Give each group its own fields, permissions, and views.
  • Track research equipment, IT, AV, furniture, keys, and facilities assets.
  • Keep transfers, inspections, service, and condition history time-stamped.

Know who has it and get it back

  • Check equipment out to students, faculty, staff, rooms, or departments.
  • Scan campus IDs and asset tags with a phone.
  • Manage reservations, approvals, signatures, due dates, and returns.
  • Send overdue reminders and see everything still checked out.

Connect every ticket to the asset behind it

  • Create and route tickets for IT, AV, laboratory, classroom, and facilities equipment.
  • Link each request to the asset, requester, department, campus, and location.
  • Keep comments, attachments, status, work performed, and resolution history together.
  • Use Global Search to find assets, tickets, borrowers, and documentation.

Walk into audit season with the report ready

  • Assign audits by location and scan from a phone.
  • See verified, missing, and misplaced assets in one report.
  • Link grant-funded equipment to awards, departments, and documentation.
  • Export funding, capital, and certification reports without rebuilding them.

Stop buying what you already own

  • Track cost, depreciation, book value, salvage value, and useful life.
  • Review maintenance, condition, transfer, and checkout history before replacement.
  • Find idle equipment before approving another purchase.
  • Attach purchase orders, invoices, warranties, and service records.

Built on the Asset Panda Intelligence Platform

Configurable to your institution, not the other way around.

No two institutions run alike. Asset Panda for Higher Education adapts to your colleges, labs, classrooms, permission structure, funding fields, audit processes, and reporting requirements.

St. Francis University campus

St. Francis got a much-needed update to their financial reports

Texas Tech University campus

Texas Tech abandons “comically large” inventory binders

“With Asset Panda, we have been able to solidify our history of what student / faculty / staff member had what item and for what period of time. The data that Asset Panda provides us is an incredible upgrade over our paper-based, human error prone system.”

Paul Terrell Specialist III
University of Connecticut campus

The University of Connecticut improves asset coverage across the board

“Before we found Asset Panda, we relied on a vendor database that had no connectivity to our financial system and required a great deal of data manipulation to import and export data.”
