Trying to get a handle on your asset management and inventory tracking? If you’ve been relying on manual procedures, you’ve probably got a paper trail of conflicting numbers and assorted mistakes: a missed number, a random typo, duplication of effort among employees and general confusion. Even the most organized and well-intentioned employee is going to make a mistake with an Excel spreadsheet or pen and paper. Asset management and inventory tracking are simply too important to leave to chance. Your fixed assets and inventory carry value, and those values must be reported for accounting and compliance purposes. When you can’t count on your recordkeeping, guesswork is what often results. Mistakes lead to fines, ghost assets, overpayment on insurance and taxes and more wasted revenue.

Assets and inventory aren’t interchangeable; they’re actually two different concepts. Assets refer to fixed assets or items that help you generate income, but which aren’t sold. Yet, they hold value. Good examples are office furniture, IT assets, real estate and vehicles. You need all of these things to run your business, and many of those items – IT assets chief among them – require periodic maintenance in order to run efficiently. Inventory, on the other hand, refers to the parts or products you’re manufacturing and/or selling for income. Knowing how much inventory to carry at any one time requires analysis of buying patterns and seasonal conditions. Inventory management refers to your quantities and their respective locations, whether everything is under one roof or distributed among multiple locations. It includes tracking such things as returns and replenishment. It’s a fine balance; an overstocking or understocking situation can be harmful to an organization’s bottom line.

Whether you have fixed assets, inventory or both to manage, there aren’t enough hours in the day to stay on top of these moving targets. That’s why most companies – even small ones – invest in some sort of asset management inventory system. When you’re managing your assets and inventory the right way, you save time and money while maximizing their use.
