Rethinking The Value of Asset and Inventory Apps
Technology has brought about some pretty impressive tools to daily business operations in the past few years! Think back just 10 years ago … who would have thought that we could run an entire organization from a laptop computer, a tablet or a smartphone? And now with the introduction of multiple types of inventory apps included as part of inventory and asset tracking and management platforms, businesses can be managed 24/7 from virtually anywhere.
Assets and inventory are the lifeblood of many organizations and their survival depends on them. Without the knowledge of basic data such as where these vital tools are, who has them, and their maintenance status, many businesses would be closed for good.
Tracking inventory and assets has always been a rather time-consuming and rather frowned upon task. There used to be a time when every asset or SKU of inventory had to be entered by hand. Think of how long writing all the information about assets or inventory would take -- serial numbers, dates, quantity, pricing, location, who checked it in/who checked it out. What if you wrote a number wrong or a fellow employee couldn’t read your handwriting? And not to mention that you can’t attach pictures or video to your handwritten notes to document the condition of an asset or inventory item when it’s received.
Eventually, technology eliminated the need for handwritten ledgers with the emergence of online spreadsheets. But these aren’t a perfect solution either. These are easily accessible by anyone, and anyone can accidentally delete data or copy the sheet over, making multiple versions available. When companies have multiple people needing access to the same data at the same time, and counting on their fellow employees to provide accurate data, well then spreadsheets aren’t a fitting solution either.
Today’s mobile technology and the emergence of an asset and inventory app that can do all the things that ledgers and spreadsheets can’t do have revolutionized the way companies manage and track inventory and assets. These apps do some pretty amazing things in and of itself, and the fact that employees can use them right from their very own smartphones and tablets is something that was unheard of 10 years ago.
One of the most valuable features that asset and inventory apps give their users is that companies no longer need to purchase extra equipment such as separate handheld scanners to scan barcodes. Inclusive apps, that go through the Cloud have built-in barcode scanners that record data instantly about an asset or inventory item anytime and from anywhere. This gives fellow co-workers immediate access to the data they need to do their jobs better, and gives the company as a whole more accountability and saves them both time and money.
