Web Based Asset Management
One of the most common challenges facing businesses both large and small across virtually every industry is tracking the location, condition, maintenance and depreciation of vital assets. This data is constantly changing as equipment moves from one department to another, or outside of the building to secondary locations, with vendors or to service providers. Companies are realizing that they need a targeted web-based asset tracking system in place in order to simply keep up with all of these movable parts. Budgets, jobs, potential new business – it’s all on the line every day.
Traditional asset tracking used to rely upon manual processes like handwritten ledgers or spreadsheets, which are vulnerable to human error and all too often were not kept up to date. The result of using those antiquated forms of asset tracking were that that companies lost track of their equipment, failed to maintain it and many times had to replace it sooner than they would have with a more efficient tracking system in place due to loss, theft, equipment failure, etc.
But as business processes have evolved and workforces are going more mobile, so have the tools to track assets. Today’s web-based asset tracking software enables users perform online asset management and equipment tracking from anywhere, anytime day or night. The software uses smartphones equipped with barcode scanners to streamline the physical inventory and data entry processes for what was once time-consuming and error-prone actions like equipment checkout, barcode printing, equipment deployment, and reporting.
