How to Make the Most Out of Asset Scanning Software
Asset scanning software is a sure-fire way to make your asset tracking and maintenance practices more efficient. However, if you're new to using a software program to track your company assets, you might not know the best ways to use your software. Follow these tips, and you'll be making the most out of your asset tracking platform in no time!
You've got a lot of information in other systems. Point of sale software tracks the number of items you've sent out. Client databases track information about the people who have bought your products. Having all of that information stored separately can make it difficult for you to conduct company-wide performance reviews. However, if you can find a platform that integrates well, and even stores it all in the same place, you'll have a clearer picture about what is going on with your company in all departments.
Having clear, detailed processes for tracking and maintaining your assets is a great way to make sure everyone stays on the same page. Keeping records of those processes in your asset scanning software ensures that your employees will see them as they are working on the asset tracking process. Clear expectations make it easier for your employees to perform well.
Not all of your employees perform the same functions in your company, so not all of them will need access to the same assets as others. In fact, allowing them access to specific assets could be problematic. However, you can set up your software program to make it so that specific users can only see the assets they can access.
If you are in a managerial position, you don't spend as much time on the floor as those you supervise. There are probably some days when you need to know what is happening but aren't able to go out to the floor yourself. Instead of trying to track down someone who knows what is going on, you can look for yourself. Cloud-based asset scanning software makes it easy for you to see what assets are currently being used, and where they're located.
Asset Panda understands that you need to make the most out of your asset management system. Your company relies on your assets to perform well, and you need to know where they are at all times. We created our platform to make it easy for you to look at your company as a whole. With customizable fields, you can add and link to any relevant information from other systems.
One of our construction clients uses our platform to combine work orders and asset groups. This allows them to change the status of each of their assets as they send one of their team members to work with a specific client. Grouping these two together means that the work order and the asset status change at the same time, preventing them from needing to do the same function twice in different areas of the software.
