Outsource to Follett. 

Schools and districts outsource processes and functions to improve operations and save money. Frequently outsourced services include student transportation, janitorial tasks, and cafeteria services. Rather than the school or district having to hire and train employees to perform specialized tasks, service providers who are experts in their field step in to help.

Managed Services by Follett is the same. Our experts can fulfill on-demand requests and be part of your team for a day, a month, or the entire school year. Whether our certified librarians work alongside you to weed materials or our resource management experts barcode and distribute your 1:1 devices, the Follett Team can integrate seamlessly with your team to make your job easier. We would love to help you and your colleagues!
