Asset Tracking Systems Keep Your Vital Data Within Reach 24/7

6411-2-header
Who needs asset tracking systems? Everyone. It doesn’t matter how large or small the organization; nor does it matter the industry. You’ve got fixed assets that hold value and must be reported for accounting and compliance purposes. And some of those assets are moving throughout your organization, changing hands frequently, which places them at risk for loss or theft. If protecting your investments is among your priorities, asset tracking systems are something you can’t afford not to explore.

Each of your assets has its own unique history including, most notably, its maintenance history, warranty, insurance policy and, of course, value, which is an ever-changing number. Failure to maintain timely records can result in premature equipment breakdown and, ultimately, replacement – not to mention the loss of productivity. Additionally, your assets are at risk for loss of theft, and without proper tracking procedures, you might be paying insurance for items, or “ghost assets,” that aren’t even in your inventory anymore. When it comes down to locate an asset, your employees could find themselves spinning their wheels for hours in a fruitless search. That’s costly not only to productivity, but also morale.

With all of the demands placed on organizations today, asset tracking systems must be powerful, yet streamlined to minimize the workload of managing fixed assets. Automation is an important feature to look for, as is ease of use and the ability to bring every stakeholder involved in the lifecycle of your assets into the conversation, eliminating confusion and waste while increasing accountability and accuracy.

Manual asset tracking systems simply won’t deliver those efficiencies. Excel spreadsheets are static documents. It’s difficult to reconcile input from multiple employees, and because your data isn’t real-time, it’s not as reliable as you need it to be – especially when you’re talking about asset values, which need to be provided to your accounting and compliance teams on an annual basis. And human error is quite common with manual asset tracking. Even a simple missed keystroke can throw off your recordkeeping. Because your staff is pulled in a lot of directions, it’s also very easy to for oversight to occur, causing gaps in your records.
