Free Asset Manager Software Brings Much-Needed Clarity, Efficiency to Company Processes

free-asset-manager-software-header

Free asset management software can bring clarity and efficiency to what otherwise would be a very confusing and error-prone process. When you consider the lifespan of the average fixed asset, there are a lot of moving parts to track. From its initial acquisition to periodic servicing and movement throughout your organization, its depreciation, warranty and insurance, you’ve got a lot of data attached to that asset. And, regardless of the size of your organization or the industry in which you specialize, it’s difficult to stay on top of changes to that data when you rely on an Excel spreadsheet or pen and paper. Even if you’ve got employees assigned to the task, it’s inevitable that a typo, missed keystroke, duplication of effort or simple oversight will occur and throw off your recordkeeping. The result, then, is wasted time and frustration as your employees spin their wheels to hunt down lost or missing assets, and/or assets whose records haven’t been maintained. In the very worst-case scenario, companies continue to pay insurance on “ghost assets” that aren’t even in their inventory anymore, but which weren’t reported as lost or stolen. That’s akin to flushing money directly down the toilet.

If you’ve been relying on manual methods to track your assets, you probably can’t imagine the efficiencies that a good free asset manager software can bring to your organization. For starters, the right free asset manager software can save you significant time because you and your employees won’t have to spin your wheels looking for lost assets anymore. Every detail related to your assets will live in one, easy-to-access location. Second, you’ll no longer waste money on replacements due to theft, loss or poor recordkeeping. Third, if you’re tracking your assets, you’ll also be monitoring when items are due for maintenance, so a minor repair won’t have the opportunity to mushroom into a major overhaul or total breakdown. Fourth, your tracking system will help you stay on top of warranty information. Fifth, your software will allow you to track depreciation, so you skip the guesswork and errors that can cost you come tax time. And that’s just the beginning.

If you’ve been giving thought to finding a free asset manager software product for your company, be on the lookout first and foremost for ease of use. Your asset tracking efforts will be successful if you can obtain buy-in from all of your stakeholders. Within your staff, you probably have varying levels of technical proficiency, so you want to find a solution that removes the intimidation factor and is simple and intuitive. You’ll also want a product with customizable, flexible features. Your needs today might not be your needs in the future, so you want a solution that will adapt with your company. And you’ll want to look for a mobile solution. Business is rarely confined to the office anymore, so a mobile asset tracking product is your best bet. Ideally, you should be able to access the complete lifecycle of your assets anytime, anywhere, with the assurance that your data is in real time.
