The Reasoning for Web Based Asset Tracking

reasoning-web-based-asset-tracking-header
As a business becomes more established, so does the equipment or tools required for successful daily operations. With that comes the need for finding a solution to track and manage that necessary equipment. A majority of organizations do have some sort of asset tracking in place. However the problem with most systems and asset tracking methods is when equipment is used, moved or taken away, there is no true way of knowing when it was taken or why, or in the case of multiple locations, which equipment comes from which facility and where it is. Thanks to web based asset tracking systems, users now have a viable solution to help solve these issues when tracking equipment.

Today’s web based asset tracking software enables users perform online asset management and equipment tracking from anywhere, anytime. The software uses smartphones equipped with barcode scanners to streamline the physical inventory and data entry processes for once time-consuming and error-prone actions like equipment checkout, barcode printing, equipment deployment, and reporting.

Web based asset tracking systems provide many benefits over the predecessors of paper bookkeeping and electronic spreadsheets. Knowing the location of assets within a facility, or when multiple facilities are involved, is more important than ever as employees become more mobile and so does an organization’s assets. Data compiled in web based asset tracking systems can be stored in the cloud, dramatically lowering the risk of data loss from those who aren’t familiar with the system or may not be authorized to access asset logs.

The results of implementing web based asset tracking really speak for themselves when deciding if it is the best choice for a company, big or small:
  • Significant time savings
  • No more lost items. Look up assets and find their locations immediately
  • Eliminate guesswork from repair and replacement decision-making
  • Reduced taxes
  • Savings on property insurance
  • Reduced asset losses
  • Fast audits
  • More accurate reporting
  • Know what you own
  • Know where your assets are
  • Know who has them
  • Know what condition they are in
  • Store all information related to an asset in one location
  • Save time and money

Of course the cost and implementation of a web based asset tracking system is important, especially for small businesses or start ups. This type of system used to be completely out of reach and a line item that simply didn’t mesh with the budget. But one mistake in an online spreadsheet could be disastrous for a company. When taking that into consideration, and looking at the multiple options available for asset tracking, the low cost, simplicity, and ease of implementation of today’s cloud-based asset management software makes it a much easier decision.
