Fine arts inventory for schools & programs

Recent activity
Export log (128) CSVThe district dashboard — live totals, estimated value, and a full activity log.
One locker, four collections
Built around the things a program actually owns.
Generic asset trackers make you fight the form. EncoreStudio ships with the right fields for each collection — no setup, no custom schemas.
Instruments
From piccolos to sousaphones, with serials and district case numbers that survive audits.
Attire
Uniforms, tuxes, dresses, and guard costumes — sized, assigned, and back by banquet night.
Library
Your sheet-music library, searchable by composer and arranger, with copies on hand counted.
Equipment
Stands, amps, props, podiums, and the sound board nobody remembers buying — until now.
Check-outs & loan agreements
Hand a student a horn.
Get the paper trail free.
Start typing a name and EncoreStudio suggests the student. One click checks the item out; one more prints a signature-ready loan agreement with the item's value, condition, and terms filled in.
- Name autocomplete from your student directory — grade and guardian details attached
- Print-ready loan agreements with student, guardian, and staff signature lines
- Download every active agreement for the season as one PDF, sorted by student
- Full assignment history on every item: who had it, when it went out, when it came back
Alto Saxophone · Yamaha YAS-26 · INS-002
Assign to studentCheck-out with student autocomplete and one-click agreements.
Scan or search
Open the item by QR label, item number, serial, or name — the search matches all of them.
Assign in seconds
Type a few letters, pick the student, done. Status flips to Assigned and the activity log records it.
Print the agreement
A district-branded loan agreement opens ready to print or save as PDF — terms, value, and signature lines included.
QR labels
Stick a label on it.
Never lose track again.
Print sheets of QR labels sized for standard Avery Presta 94102 stock — 80 three-quarter-inch squares per page. Scanning a label with any phone or tablet camera opens that exact item, with sign-in still required.
- Batch-print labels for a whole category, or just the items you filtered
- Reusing a partial sheet? Tell it how many labels are peeled and it skips those positions
- No apps to install — the camera your staff already has opens the record
- Perfect for locker checks, uniform returns, and end-of-season audits
Label sheets line up with off-the-shelf Avery stock — no special printer.
Built for districts
One district. Many schools. Zero spreadsheets.
Every record belongs to a school site. Directors see and manage their own program; district administrators see everything, move inventory between schools, and answer board questions in one click.
- Three roles, no surprises. District Admins manage every site. Site Users edit only their school's records. Viewers get read-only access.
- Site-to-site loans. Lend the sousaphone to Roosevelt for festival season — it stays on your books, flagged as on loan, until it comes home.
- A complete activity log. Every check-out, repair note, and import is recorded with who did it and when. Filter by date range and export to CSV for the board packet.
- Simple account management. Add staff accounts, set roles, and assign up to five sites per user from the built-in admin page.
