Digitizing schools & universities

The digitization of schools shouldn't stop in the classroom. To prevent that we support schools with a sustainable digital inventory management software.

Online lessons, blackboards and learning platforms work digitally - but a desk, chairs, rooms and other inventory assets are still recorded manually.
seventhings offers the solution to efficiently manage all objects in a school.
With the intuitive web interface and the smartphone app, all of the school's items can be managed in the blink of an eye.

Tremendous challenges caused by the pandemic

The corona pandemic presented schools with enormous challenges. Many teachers were faced with huge changes in order to conduct lessons successfully - especially the use of digital tools and devices was not easy for many teachers. And yet they managed the changeover and were able to carry out everyday school life despite the lockdown. While the switch from in-class to digital lessons often worked well, numerous devices, furniture or rooms were still manually entered into printed lists or Excel sheets.

seventhings offers the way out: with the simple and intuitive platform, consisting of a web interface and a smartphone app, any inventory items can be easily recorded and managed.

Advantages of the seventhings system:

• Intuitive web application & app for a quick start without having to study computer science.
• Clear and simple location management of all objects in every room, "Classroom of the 4th grade" or "Teacher's room, natural sciences faculty".
• Loan devices or books can be easily managed and tracked.
• Perfect for multiple users, from facility manager to school principals.
• Knowledge about the state of the inventories & objects that need to be repaired or replaced.
• Assets can be scanned offline - a permanent internet connection is not necessary. No work cell phone at hand? No problem - we offer the right solution just for you.

This answers the question of where the Polylux or the DVD player is currently located in real time. In addition, you can make precise statements about how many desks, chairs, devices, etc. are currently in use and where they are at. Also, which objects need to be repaired and what needs to be or has been replaced.
