Fixed IT Asset Control

fixed-it-asset-control-header
Your IT assets are likely to be among your most expensive fixed assets, which is why fixed IT asset control is absolutely vital for the financial health and longevity of your organization. Fixed assets refer to anything that you purchase for long-term use, and for the purpose of helping you run your business. Your IT equipment, of course, includes everything from PCs and monitors to laptops, tablets, mobile phones, A/V equipment, handheld scanners, servers and more. These items are among your most “active” assets; they’re often on the move, transitioning among employees and various departments, and traveling both inside and outside your place of business. Little wonder, then, that IT equipment is among the most frequently stolen items within any organization. To maximize the lifespan of every one of your vital IT assets, and to save you considerable revenue, you need a fixed IT asset control system that uses the very latest technology to track your assets accurately and up to the minute.

Asset Panda delivers a powerful mobile asset tracking platform that does just that. It’s based on free native mobile iOS and Android apps that sync with the cloud, so the data you receive is in real time. The apps include a mobile barcode scanner, eliminating the need for expensive handheld barcode scanners that need repair and replacement. No additional hardware or software is needed to use Asset Panda – all you need are the mobile devices your employees already carry. From the palm of your hand, you have full access to the entire lifecycle of every one of your vital IT assets. You’re entitled to an unlimited number of users at no additional charge with Asset Panda, a contrast from the old method of asset tracking, in which those expensive handheld scanners limited how many employees you could afford to bring into your communication loop. Because you have no restrictions on users, you can bring all of your stakeholders into the loop – and that goes a long way toward increasing accountability and accuracy.

Asset tracking is about so much more than just knowing where your laptop is located. Asset Panda is the result of years of research, development and invaluable feedback from test groups and clients. This platform is based on the philosophy that clients should be able to track their assets exactly how they want. A one-size-fits all approach won’t work because every client has different considerations and factors that determine which data is most critical and how it should be displayed. The Asset Panda app is completely flexible and customizable. Its user-friendly interface includes a custom dashboard, sortable columns, custom fields and actions, and easy access to such information as check-in/check/out status, lease/purchase information and maintenance history. You can add voice notes, documents, photos and videos to assets. Track depreciation and inflation, use the GPS feature to monitor assets on the move, add custom calculation fields, use the app’s calendar feature, configure fields for location/area and categories, and create custom notifications and alerts. You can also use this powerful platform to create work orders, and if you choose to use Asset Panda as an enterprise service desk, you can cut down significantly on the time you allocate for service calls. The potential flexibility you have is almost limitless – and, best of all, Asset Panda couldn’t be simpler to use. It was designed to be simple to use and requires no training.

Eliminate guesswork, lost or stolen assets, and save time and money with the most powerful fixed asset tracking platform in the world. Visit assetpanda.com for more information, and to begin your free 14-day trial.
