What the spreadsheet does
- Holds serials, tags, and maybe a building column
- Breaks when two people edit at once
- Loses the story of who had the device and what failed
- Never talks to the help desk
Compare
Spreadsheets can list devices. They cannot run district IT.
A workbook can store serials. It cannot attach a ticket, a loaner, or last year’s repair to that serial when a technician needs it. EDUnifi is the system after the spreadsheet: inventory plus help desk, with CSV import so you do not retype every row.
What EDUnifi does
- One record for assignment, repair, warranty, and tickets
- Search by serial, tag, building, user, and type
- CSV import so the workbook becomes the first load, not the forever process
- Onboarding and staff training included in the annual platform
How teams actually leave the workbook
Import CSV, then run tickets and assignments in EDUnifi. See the migration steps and the asset module.
