The Business Academy Dudova 4 in Bratislava was founded in 1954 as the School of Economics, one of the first independent schools to study while being employed and working – in the form of evening and distance learning. It went through various stages of development, from the Economic School, through the 3-year Economic School with graduation diploma, until it was transformed into today’s form of the Business Academy, which offers, in addition to 4-year study, also bilingual 5-year study in the Slovak-English language. The school participates in international projects E-twinning, ERASMUS+ and AIESEC. It also takes the initiative in the school’s TED TALKS project, where it gives space to student-speakers to communicate a topic or idea worth spreading further in the world in the style of the world-famous TEDx conference.
The Business Academy approached us with a request to resolve problems with asset management, as they needed to manage nearly 4000 assets. With the idea of recording assets in excel spreadsheets, they started looking for companies that offer asset management and assets’ inventory count systems.
“We approached several companies that provide asset management systems. We had the best communication with KODYS SLOVENSKO, which offered us the EVIDEI asset management solution, fitting our requirements and possibilities.”
“As a school, we had asset management only in our ERP system, which did not suit us. We needed a system that, in addition to manage assets, would also ensure that they were marked correctly, not by writing inventory numbers on the assets with marker pens.”
THE CONTRIBUTION OF EVIDEI
After a joint discussion and analysis of the requirements and needs, we proposed EVIDEI to the Business Academy as a solution to help them with their asset management problems. EVIDEI enabled the school to divide the work between several people. The staff is now responsible for various tasks within the asset management, such as inserting new assets into the system, recording all transfers and asset discarding. The EVIDEI implementation has given the school an overview of the current status of assets as well as their location. Today, their inventory count is fast and they have several reports immediately available to help them keep track of their assets.
