Deliver Bottom-Line Efficiency to Your Business with Asset Software

business-asset-software-header
If you’re trying to bring greater efficiencies to your business, asset software probably is one of the most impactful measures you can take. Whether you’re a small operation or global giant, you’ve got an inventory of fixed assets for which you’re responsible. Not only do you have to report them on an annual basis for tax purposes; you’ve also got to keep them in good working order and monitor their movement throughout your organization. IT assets are the best example of why your business needs asset software. Your desktop computers, copiers, scanners, monitors, tablets, smartphones, A/V equipment and other tech equipment represent one of the most significant investments you’ll make in your business. Many of those items are also frequently on the move, between offices, conference rooms and off-site locations like airplanes, hotel rooms, cars and event locations. The opportunity for theft and loss is great. And, unfortunately, your IT assets can put you at serious risk for a security breach if you and your employees haven’t taken adequate precautions to protect sensitive data.

When assets go missing, that’s costly enough, but in the worst-case scenario, those stolen or lost items remain unreported. A company could continue to pay insurance on “ghost assets” that aren’t even in its inventory anymore. Additionally, your fixed assets must be reported for compliance and accounting purposes each year. If you don’t have a means of pinpointing their respective values and condition, the result, unfortunately, is often guesswork. And whenever it comes time to locate an item, without a real-time tracking system, frustration and wasted time are inevitable.

Companies have relied upon manual tracking procedures (read: Excel documents) to compile this data for years, but that’s a very limited and error-prone approach. First, it’s nearly impossible to stay on top of ever-changing data as items change hands, experience depreciation or inflation, or require routine updates and/or maintenance. You can put a staff member or members in charge of that task, but, in the wake of more pressing tasks, the ongoing maintenance of those records is likely to take a back seat. And human error is almost assured, whether it’s a missed item or simple typo.

The clear solution for your business is asset software – and not just any software. Asset Panda offers the gold standard in terms of value, capabilities, and ease of use.
