With Asset Management, Mobile is the Gold Standard

For asset management, mobile isn’t just the convenient way; it’s the only way. It used to be that companies relied on manual asset management processes – either pen and paper or, more likely, an Excel document. However, manual tracking is an unreliable, error-prone way to manage your assets. In the midst of more pressing day-to-day matters, it’s very easy to neglect recordkeeping. If multiple employees are charged with the task, you might have duplication of effort, and your odds for a typo or some other error increase. It’s also difficult to consolidate those records. Analyzing the data is also challenging when it’s maintained in a static format. Because your data is changing constantly, it’s nearly impossible to keep up with all when you’re relying on manual processes. At the same time, it's vital that you maintain accuracy in your records because you’ve got to report your fixed assets to your accounting and compliance teams. Miscalculations, omissions and other mistakes can be very costly. The bottom line is this: It’s simply too risky to rely on manual recordkeeping. And, thanks to the continued evolution of technology, you don’t have to.

Two of the most significant advantages that technology has introduced to asset management are simplification and accuracy. Asset management mobile platforms enable you to house all of your asset-related data in one centralized location, saving you and your employees immeasurable time and frustration. In the past, tracking down an asset meant spinning your wheels for hours. Some items may have even been lost or stolen but unreported, while your company continued to pay insurance on these “ghost assets.” Technology also eliminates to a large extent the human factor, automating your processes and improving the accuracy of your data.
