Material distribution
The application can be used to verify the Student's identity, obtain consent and confirm a charter of use (to secure the conditions of use in the event of equipment loans during the Schooling period).When the equipment is handed over, it can be scanned by a handheld scanner, which automatically registers its Serie number in the application, enabling it to be removed from stock and associated with a Student.
It is also possible to issue a delivery note for materials delivered and distributed, guaranteeing the Local authority the security of the services provided by the various service providers responsible for delivering and distributing materials.

For the Region Grand Est, this is a very positive experience. The digital solution is part of a large-scale digital transformation operation: around 25 million euros are being invested in the PCs made available to students.Igor LEDIT, ENT Project Manager for the Grand Est Region
Kosmos quickly understood our needs. Kosmos' business and technical expertise during the scoping phase of the "loRdi" solution, as well as the relevance of the approach adopted, based on ENT data, enabled us to easily convince management. Thanks to this successful collaboration, the new application was implemented on schedule.David Moutier, Head of the Occitanie Region's Educational Digital Practices Unit
To feed Apple School Manager (ASM), we need to provide a database of user accounts (students and teachers) specifying the class and School to which they belong. Until now, we created and updated these files manually. The data was unreliable: it was impossible to keep them up to date and avoid clerical errors. The ASM export developed by Kosmos has enabled us to make the data more reliable, since it is now exported directly from ENT (updated in real time). Tracking the management of our IT assets has been simplified. This not only saves time, but also ensures data quality.Christophe HAMELIN, Project Manager for the Infrastructure and Resources Division of the County council of Haute-Garonne.
