A Quick Guide To Computer Inventory Management

But what exactly is computer inventory management and how can you make it work for your business? Read on for more information.

• You can track your assets – Being able to see where all of your computer assets are is incredibly useful. If assets are used in multiple locations it makes sense to track them. You can do this by attaching a barcode or a QR code to your assets. 
• Your assets will be in better condition – Most computer inventory management software allows you to set maintenance schedules and reminders. When an alert appears, the maintenance team can action the alert and maintain and repair the asset in question. 
• It’s possible to see who is using what – The check in and check out feature ensures that you can see whether the right member of your team has the right laptop, for example. This feature can also help with security as your team will be aware that you know which computer, tablet, phone, or laptop they are using. 
• Assets can be organised into collections – When assets are organised into collections, it makes it easier to find an asset should you need to. For example, you could add the assets located in the admin department to one collection. When you need to check the maintenance status of the assets in that department, you can simply press a button. You will then be shown every asset that the admin team uses and you can check the status.
• You can eliminate ghost assets – As all assets can be traced and maintained, it’s possible to eliminate ghost assets. This is because every single asset will be accounted for. There can be fewer to no assets left on a shelf for 6 months waiting to be repaired.
• Exportable reports are easy to create – Thanks to the way that computer inventory management works, you can create reports and export them. Every time that an asset is used, data is created. It’s this data that can be added to a report for you to read. As a result, you could have a clearer understanding of how your business is running.  
• Fewer assets are likely to be stolen or lost – Every asset can have a barcode or a QR code attached. This ensures that they can be tracked all day every day. Stolen or lost assets can become a thing of the past as it’s clear each asset is tracked at all times. 

As you can see, there are more than a few benefits to using inventory management software. It’s no wonder that many businesses all over the globe use software such as this to help them.

Your business can also save even more money as every asset is likely to be in much better condition. Assets can be maintained regularly thanks to the maintenance schedules. They can also be repaired when an issue arises. As long as the maintenance team is alerted to an issue such as a broken laptop screen, for example, they can deal with the issue. As a result, less money will need to be spent replacing assets that are no longer used because they don’t work. The issue can be dealt with and the laptop can be used once more.
