Choosing the Right Asset Tracking Products for Business Success

asset-tracking-products-header
A key component to the success of any business is to keep accurate records of the assets used in daily operations every single day. From video equipment to computers to furniture and company vehicles, whether you have 100 assets to track or 100,000, the process can be incredibly time-consuming and potentially prone to errors. But thanks to today’s modern asset tracking products and the combined use of devices like mobile computers, barcode scanners, wireless tools like smartphones or tablets, and intuitive asset tracking software, companies now have a complete asset tracking solution available that brings increased productivity, simplicity, and most importantly, accountability to all stakeholders across the company.

When reviewing the different asset tracking products on the market, it’s important to examine a few key elements in finding the best system for each individual company and/or industry. Some asset tracking platforms have too many features and some not enough. Pertinent questions to ask include:
  • Do you know how many assets do you need to track?
  • Where are the assets located and across how many locations do they travel?
  • What type of reporting will you need from the system?
  • How many users need to have access?
  • What type of reporting capabilities do you need?
  • How mobile is your team/company?

By answering these basic questions, you are more aptly able to determine which asset tracking products you do or do not need in order to accurately track your company’s assets. By selecting the right product, the benefits are plenty ranging from cost reductions in labor and unnecessary replacement of lost or misplaced assets; increased revenue thanks to better reporting and tracking of assets over their entire lifecycle; improved efficiencies in data collection and sales forecasting; and more transparency as to where assets are, who has them, and maintenance reporting.

By now, the majority of companies know that the former way of tracking assets by manually-entered ledgers or data entry spreadsheets are a thing of the past. These methods were fraught with errors and caused so many unnecessary manpower hours of fixing. Today’s asset tracking products come with easy to understand software that simplifies asset tracking with multiple tools and provides detailed reporting capabilities. Additionally, these asset tracking products are embracing today’s mobile workforce and have barcode scanners that can function from one’s own smartphone, eliminating the need for expensive handheld scanners that are typically in short supply and not easily transferred from person to person and place to place.
