Utilizing the power of browser-based technology, Booktracks provides accurate and efficient information, giving you instant access to the status of your textbook inventory anywhere throughout the entire district.
Reports are easily created and are instantly accessible, letting you know which students have textbooks and when new or replacement textbooks are needed. Report templates allow you to customize, design and save reports specific to your district's needs. Reports are generated quickly and easily. Report templates, that you design and name, can be saved for future use. These templates, with your options already configured, will assist you in submitting government mandated reports.
Savings and Peace of Mind
Savings realized can be even greater than the monetary cost to the district. Peace of mind is priceless! The calculations shown illustrate the serious money associated with the cost of replacement textbooks. Such costs stress budgets and people.
Booktracks can result in tremendous savings by issuing accurate and timely notifications to students, parents and teachers concerning damaged or missing textbooks. Such notifications help shift the burden and responsibility from the district to the student and his or her parents. Booktracks holds students accountable for their textbooks, thus significantly reducing the number of textbooks that are lost. With Booktracks, student accountability is made easy.
