SmartTrack Platform

The Vision

The SmartTrack team came together around a simple philosophy: a zip code should not determine the quality of a child’s education. This philosophy took them down an unusual path for fixing a deeply rooted problem in the education sector. Schools need their resources to provide an excellent education for their children. These resources include textbooks, technology, musical instruments, curriculum materials, and more. Through the team's own experiences as teachers and educators, they had experienced first-hand how difficult it is to keep track of these assets. Enter SmartTrack, the solution finally able to successfully solve these issues. It was developed and refined through countless meetings with educators, administrators, and over multiple rounds of tech competitions. In testing designs, the team saw a five times increase in inventory speed using the technology versus the traditional pen and paper method.

SmartTrack transforms the way organizations track assets, manage inventory, and save money.

The Outcome

Working closely with the SmartTrack team, we designed, developed, and deployed a marketing website, dashboard app, and native iOS app for SmartTrack users. SmartTrack is currently being used successfully as the inventory system across the Camden, NJ school district. It has also been featured in Governing Magazine, PennCurrent, Fels Institute of Government, Penn's Science and Diplomacy Group, and Technical.ly.
