Two systems - one strong connection for modern IT in the education sector

The digital transformation in schools opens up new opportunities - but also poses challenges for school authorities. Mobile device management systems (MDM) such as Relution enable the centralised and secure management of tablets, laptops and other devices. What is often missing is an overview of the actual inventory, device status and usage - this is where inventorio comes in.

From isolated solutions to integrated workflow

inventorio, a cloud-based inventory platform, makes all (digital) school assets centrally visible, structurable and manageable. The solution goes far beyond traditional inventory: it enables the automatic synchronisation of device data, provides information on usage frequency and device status, simplifies lending and procurement processes and assists with integrated support functions such as instructions and a ticket system.

Intelligent connection instead of duplication of effort

In many cases, both device and app management and inventory software are in use at the same time. The problem: Many school boards often have to manually transfer device data from Relution or another MDM system to their inventory software - a time-consuming, error-prone process. The inventorio interface to Relution solves this problem: device information such as condition, last online status or assignment is automatically transferred via API, intelligently assigned and continuously synchronised. "The interface to the Relution platform was a decisive step for us. Many school authorities already work with Relution. By connecting with inventorio, they save time, reduce errors and maintain an overview," explains Lukas Gerthofer, CEO and founder of inventorio.

Simple to use - powerful in effect

The joint solution from Relution and inventorio is deliberately designed to be user-friendly and low-threshold. School authorities benefit from a clearly structured workflow with a maximum degree of automation so that devices no longer need to be maintained twice. An absolute win-win situation. ‘It's great to see that we not only manage mobile devices, but also create real added value for school authorities through partners like inventorio,’ adds Stefan Jauker, CTO of Relution.

Win-win for education stakeholders

Whether a small municipality or large city: seamless integration creates a centralised, up-to-date database. Media disruptions are eliminated, support becomes more efficient and strategic decisions can be made based on data. "This collaboration shows how two specialised solutions complement each other perfectly: Device management and inventory become a holistic IT workflow - with real added value for schools, providers and learners," agree Stefan Jauker and Lukas Gerthofer.

Digital education needs reliable systems - and smart connections. Relution and inventorio deliver both.
