Tracking Equipment the Right Way Saves Revenue, Eliminates Frustration

6537-2-header
Tracking equipment all too often involves frustration and wasted time – if you’ve been relying on manual processes, that is. Every organization wants to be a good steward of their resources, and your equipment is likely to be among your most significant investments. A powerful, yet streamlined and automated approach to tracking equipment not only takes this tedious task off your hands but also helps promote accuracy and accountability throughout your organization.

When your equipment breaks down early, that causes much more than a temporary shut-down in productivity. Morale often is affected, the slow-down can cause a ripple effect and impact other aspects of the business, and you could find yourself paying for a major repair or even a replacement. These premature breakdowns are all too common because employees are busier than ever. Without an efficient means of tracking equipment, you could also have items fall through the cracks, so to speak, due to loss or theft. In fact, you could even be paying insurance on “ghost assets” for months.

The benefits of a powerful tracking platform are numerous. First, you’re able to store all of your equipment-related data in one centralized location. From an item’s initial acquisition to its periodic maintenance, movement throughout your organization and, ultimately, its discontinuation from your inventory, its entire lifecycle is cataloged. The best solutions for tracking equipment enable you to include every stakeholder in the asset tracking conversation, therefore increasing accountability, eliminating guesswork and improving the accuracy of your efforts. You need a solution that’s easy to use, so everyone gets on board without a steep learning curve; and flexible, so it adapts to your needs today, tomorrow and well into the future.

It’s important that you be able to access at any time such information as an item’s complete maintenance history, as well as its insurance and lease/purchase information, exact location and identity of the current user. You need to be able to pull up this information anytime, day or night. Business doesn’t just happen between the hours of 9 and 5 anymore. Additionally, you should be able to schedule maintenance, create reports and make informed decisions about your asset allocation from one centralized place. That’s the philosophy behind Asset Panda.
