Follett Software launches K-12 event registration platform to eliminate double bookings and improve cost recovery

Follett Software has launched Event Registration, a platform helping US school districts manage community programme signups, payments and schedules in one system. The solution integrates with Follett's Facilities Schedules, making it the only vendor connecting public registration, space reservations and facility operations for schools. The platform addresses challenges from disconnected systems that cause double bookings and limited visibility into costs. Event Registration automatically submits requests to Facilities Schedules, updating the district's master calendar in real time. Key features include online registration and payments, automatic integration to prevent double bookings, customisable forms, detailed reporting on revenue and attendance, and support for multiple payment processors. The solution is available standalone or bundled with Follett's Facilities Suite.

"IT Asset Manager replaces a district's fragmented systems with one trusted solution that supports daily operations and leadership needs, and gives IT teams the confidence in their data and control over their workflows that they have been seeking." IT Asset Manager is designed to help districts manage technology with accuracy and consistency across schools, departments, and deployment cycles. By centralizing asset and support data, districts can reduce duplicate purchases, improve accountability, and stay audit-ready year-round. * Integrated help desk with tickets directly tied to asset records * District-wide barcode scanning with check-in and checkout workflows * Preventative maintenance scheduling and parts inventory tracking * Mobile app for field technicians to manage assets and resolve tickets on-site * Centralized dashboards for real-time visibility across all schools * Two-way integrations with leading MDM platforms and SIS systems * Life cycle tracking from procurement through retirement * W*******, insurance, and funding-source tracking * Role-based access and bulk operations for efficient fleet management
