Why use Asset Labels?
There are lots of good reasons to use asset labels, stickers, tags and plates for your business. Here are some of the top ones:
Why You Should Use Asset Labels
Keep Track
By attaching an individually numbered label to each of your assets it's easier to keep track of each item even when they look identical.
You can avoid wasting company time looking for misplaced assets and equipment or, worse, replacing equipment only to find out later that you had the items all along but couldn't locate them because of lack of an asset system.
Barcode ID labels are also an option to use with asset management software. The asset numbers are stored in an asset register which allows you to track and monitor all your equipment quickly. Using this system has a number of advantages for businesses of all sizes.
Barcode identification labels and asset tracking software makes it quick and easy to do an asset or equipment audit.
Deter Theft
Asset labelling deter thieves and item swapping. Potential thieves will be able to see that you track and monitor your equipment and therefore are less likely to risk stealing it.
Dantech also provide labels which leave a VOID mark if removed, making stolen or swapped goods pretty much useless in terms of being sold on.
Aid Recovery
If an item does get lost or stolen then using robust quality asset labels and tags can aid recovery as they are so hard to remove. Having you key details included makes it easy for you to be contacted and your assets returned.
Asset labels include company name and can also include with your company's logo, making your equipment instantly recognisable.
Manage Loaned Items
If you have equipment that you loan out, using asset labels makes co-ordinating simple. At any time the coordinator will know where an item is and also how many items are available.
If you have many identical looking items, it can be difficult trying to keep track of each individual item. This can be a problem with, for example, school equipment such as musical instruments. Using asset labels with a number will simplify this process.
Insurance Compliance
Some insurance companies insist on seeing proof of ownership of business and an asset register can provide this.
Save Money
Asset labels are an investment which can save your company money in the short and long term. You'll waste less time and money on looking for equipment and replacing items that are lost or stolen.
