Securing Your Valuable Assets
Budget cuts are continuing to be the focus in many companies often resulting in the need to make better use of your existing equipment and assets.
The first step is to have a clear inventory of all your current assets, then to catalogue key information about each asset including location, member of staff assigned to and condition.
The benefits of asset tracking are countless, but the top three include:
- saves man hours because you don't have to hunt down missing equipment
- saves money because you don't need to replace "lost" or misappropriated assets
- leads to better utilization of assets because you are able to better track maintenance and service records as well as other valuable information
What is an asset?
Sometimes called fixed assets a company’s assets can include a wide variety of items from documents to furniture and also equipment and tools. If it’s of value to your company and can be moved, damaged or lost it’s an asset.
The definition of an asset has changed so much and the automatic identification has evolved in order to meet the changing needs of the customers by using serialised labels and nameplates and everything in between.
By including a barcode on your asset label, you can easily keep track of a wide variety of assets from small items to large equipment. At times when you need to send your assets out of your company premises for repair or other purpose, your asset labels differentiate your assets from other similar items.
Asset labels with your company logo not only help identifying your asset, but also help you keep your company logo or name in front of others. Thus you can use these logo labels to advertise your products.
