Make Asset Tracking More Efficient with a Tracking Barcode
Implementing a check-in/check-out process for your asset tracking will help you make this process more efficient. A tracking barcode is essential for each item you want to put through the check-in/check-out process. Without one, trying to make your employees check-out items will only become tedious and costly in terms of time and money.
If you aren’t already relying on checking out your assets, setting up the system can seem daunting. But with a little upfront work, you can create a clear system that makes everyone’s job a little easier.
Whatever the reason, knowing what you hope to get out of this measure will help you set it up in a way that best benefits your company.
Universal Product Codes (UPC) are a great way to streamline your assets. The system is already set up and widely used in thousands of companies. Using this system for your own items will make it easy for your employees to check-out the assets they require. All they need is a device that can scan barcodes and they’ll be able to access the system.
As you are setting up this database, you can choose how each item is displayed. Want to track things like location, duration of check out, and an employee using the item? You can set up your database to track that and more.
Asset Panda’s software is the perfect solution for bringing the check-in/check-out procedure to your asset tracking. Our platform is designed to work perfectly with a tracking barcode system. As long as your employees have our app installed on their phones, they can scan the code and be on their way. The program will let them know when they need to return the asset, and what will happen if they don’t bring it back in time.
We also crafted our interface for ease of use. You won’t waste hours trying to figure out how the system works. And if you don’t understand any of the features, our customer support will be there to show you the way.
