Bethany Children’s Health Center is an innovative leader in the field of pediatric rehabilitation and 24-hour complex care.  They serve children from birth to 21 years old who have complex medical and physical disabilities. Their goal is to maximize every child’s potential and increase their level of independence.  Many of the kids have significant motor deficits which make doing every day things such as walking, sitting, playing, and even communicating very difficult without the use of assistive technology like wheelchairs, standers, and switches.  

Because of the varied disabilities and the level of care, this center has a huge number of assets. They are looking for an inventory system where a staff could checkout a piece of equipment by scanning a barcode on the equipment and their badge. Many inventory systems exist however many charge per asset which make the cost extremely high for them.

Your task is to design an inventory system that is easy to use and quick to check in/out assets. The database must be simple to maintain and easy to correct any incorrect counts for a non-technical person. It must also be quick to add or edit an asset in the system.
