What it is
An asset-tracking app for schools is a web app that catalogs district- or school-owned property — Chromebooks, tablets, textbooks, and AV or lab equipment — and records which student, teacher, or classroom each item is loaned to. It gives staff a single place to run check-outs, returns, and year-end reconciliation.
What your schools asset tracking tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for schools.
Inventory number
A unique tag for each device or item so it can be tracked across classrooms and school years.
Item type
Chromebook, tablet, textbook, or projector — lets you report on each category of school property separately.
Assigned student or staff
Records who has the item out, which is essential for a 1:1 device program and end-of-year collection.
Homeroom / grade / classroom
Ties each item to a room or teacher so you can see exactly what's assigned where.
Condition
New, good, or damaged — supports damage fees and decisions on repair vs. replacement.
Loan / return date
Defines the check-out period and surfaces which items are overdue or still out.
Funding source
Grant, PTA, or district budget — important for accountability reporting on how funds were spent.
Replacement cost
Used to calculate damage fees and to value inventory for insurance claims.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a mobile app for students or staff to check out devices?+
No. Kleap builds a responsive website, not an app-store app. Students and staff open it in a browser on any device, so there's nothing to install — but there's also no native iOS or Android app to download.
Can it scan a Chromebook barcode at the checkout desk?+
No, it doesn't read barcodes or scanners. A staff member looks up the device by its inventory number or the student's name and updates the check-out record by hand. It's search-based, not scan-based.
How do we track devices across multiple homerooms or grades?+
Every record has classroom, homeroom, and grade fields, so you can filter the list per teacher, grade, or building and instantly see what's assigned where and what's still outstanding.
Can students or parents log in to see what's been issued?+
Yes — you control logins and roles, so you can give students or staff scoped accounts that show only their own assigned items. Access is per-user, but keep in mind it's a website login rather than an app.
