Asset Control System

Any company that truly wants to steward its revenues responsibly requires an asset control system. Regardless of where your organization is a small startup or a multinational entity, numerous fixed assets are necessary in order for you to do business. Fixed assets can include anything from office furniture to warehouse equipment to vehicles to assets like PCs, tablets, mobile phones, printers, A/V equipment and much more. All of these items are required to be tracked for accounting and compliance purposes. Accuracy is a must, because mistakes can be costly.

Until recently, the term asset control system typically involved an Excel spreadsheet and employee – or multiple employees – who were charged with tracking fixed assets, their whereabouts and maintenance schedules. Even the most detail-oriented employee, however, is bound to be human. Errors and oversight happen. Items fall through the cracks, duplication of effort occurs, and expensive assets aren’t serviced on a regular basis, leading to premature breakdown or replacement. Some companies even continue to pay insurance on assets that aren’t in their inventory anymore, thanks to the failure to report theft or equipment breakdown. The more mobile the fixed asset, the greater the risk of error. Take, for example, a company-issued laptop computer. It’s always in transit, and the opportunity for theft is enormous. Additionally, if recordkeeping isn’t thorough, accurate and timely, the laptop may go without a much-needed software update or service. What should have been a minor repair can spiral into a major overhaul or even replacement. There’s simply no better way to maximize the lifespan of every one of your vital assets than with a powerful, yet simple-to-use asset control system. We all know that if something isn’t simple, employees won’t buy in.
