Jacksonville Housing Authority – Case Study
An Overview of Jacksonville Housing Authority
Jacksonville Housing Authority has been dedicated to providing public housing assistance services to the city of Jacksonville, Florida since 1994. They take pride in providing clean and safe affordable housing to the residents of Jacksonville, with many communities in the city. The public housing agency offers many housing programs in a variety of communities to fit the needs of low and moderate-income families, seniors, and disabled individuals.
As their operations continue to expand to assist families with upward mobilities, the agency found that operations were becoming costly without an effective inventory management system in place. That’s when they started their search for the perfect system to address their inventory tracking needs.
The Challenges Jacksonville Housing Authority Faced Before Implementing Our Inventory System
As mentioned earlier, the public housing agency is constantly expanding the numerous enrichment programs they offer to residents as well as affordable housing developments. With communities spread all over the city and surrounding areas, the agency needed a way to maintain visibility over all their inventory items and equipment.
Lacking a proper strategy, they were constantly losing essential supplies and costly equipment like laptops and mobile phones. This motivated them to search online for an effective inventory management system.

Why Jacksonville Housing Authority Chose Our Barcode Inventory System
In their search for the perfect inventory tracking system, they found our barcode inventory system. One of the main features that the public housing agency was drawn to was our configurable reports feature.

They also liked the improved visibility of the whereabouts of their inventory and equipment. Most of all, they loved how easy it was to stay organized with our inventory control system with our user-friendly and intuitive interface.
How The Housing Agency Used Our Inventory Management Software

They used the Reports to review and audit inventory levels as well as monitor equipment locations.
