If you look at the feature list in Edventory, two things probably look out of place. Staff leave and facilities booking. Those are not things you expect from a device inventory tool. They are in here for the same reason everything else is. I wear those hats too.
In a small district, the technology director is rarely just the technology director. The same person who manages the Chromebooks ends up involved in tracking staff leave, or managing who booked the gym, or a dozen other operational things that have to happen and do not have an obvious owner. When you are the person responsible for the systems, you become responsible for a lot of systems.
So instead of running a separate tool for staff leave, and another for facilities, and another for everything else, I built them into the place I already live. Staff leave management lets the people who handle it adjust and approve requests in the same platform. Facilities booking handles the room and resource scheduling that otherwise lives in someone's email or a paper sign up sheet. There is even a visitor kiosk for the front office.
The thread running through all of it is efficiency. Every separate tool is another login, another bill, another thing to maintain, and another place for information to get stranded. When you are already stretched thin, consolidation is not a luxury, it is how you survive the week. I would rather open one system in the morning and have everything there than bounce between six tabs trying to remember which one holds what.
Edventory is wide because my job is wide. It covers what it covers because I needed all of it, in one place, run by one tired person who did not have time for more.
