Bryan ISD Improves Textbook Management Productivity, Cuts Losses With Inventory Program

TIP was designed to reduce the amount of money spent by schools to replace lost and damaged textbooks. The software is available in two versions to fit the needs of the district office and those of the individual school campus. Each version has its own database that gives administrators a method for checks and balances, while preserving the integrity of the data.

TIP offers users features necessary to simplify their tasks and increase efficiency, including:

  • Automatic generation of lost book letters to parents, which helps save time and effort during textbook collection time.
  • Dozens of reports for instant data on inventory and book status, including analysis of available books among all schools in the district.
  • A master titles database with thousands of commonly used titles to simplify inventory set up.
  • The ability to print bar-code labels for all textbooks in the inventory for selected titles or a single copy.
  • Easily import scheduling and course information for students and teachers to enhance book checks by teachers during the year.
