Fixed asset RFID tracking is the future of equipment tracking. RFID offers more automation, more control, and more visibility over how your assets are behaving. 

You also get a lot of functionality that wasn’t possible in the past, such as the ability to scan and audit a bulk of assets at once, from a distance. This is great for all industries, whether you’re looking to increase your health and safety procedures or simply keep an eye on your assets in a much more hands-free way.

Fixed asset RFID tracking is a form of fixed asset tracking system. This system allows you to use the latest RFID technologies to track and manage your assets.

In essence, you’ll be able to log each of your assets as a unique profile. This profile can be populated with critical information, such as asset finances, prices, issues, and maintenance data.

RFID then gives you automation over asset location tracking and asset audits. With RFID, you’ll be able to walk into a room, pull the trigger on your handheld RFID reader, and verify that all of your assets are where they should be.

Fixed RFID asset tracking takes this one step further as, with fixed RFID, whenever an asset moves the change will log automatically in your fixed asset management software.

RFID gives you access to the cutting-edge. Even a few years ago, the gold standard for asset tracking was the use of spreadsheets, and this has already progressed in leaps and bounds.

Asset tracking software allowed for more speed, more visibility, and more automation in terms of your asset tracking operations. RFID capabilities take this one step further, giving you even more automation and even more control.

RFID is still growing, too, with every new development giving you the ability for more granular, more minute equipment tracking, helping your business save as much time and money as possible.

Equipment tracking will continue to develop with new technologies and new capabilities. Therefore, RFID will become more accessible to SMEs as well as large organisations.

There are a few difficulties at the moment that are already getting fixed, such as the need for equipment tracking software to be developed bespoke to include RFID capabilities.

This is no longer the case as now you can opt for off-the-shelf fixed asset RFID tracking software. This way, you get the same benefits of adding data to unique, singular fixed assets while also having benefits in terms of the day to day tracking of these assets.

RFID, therefore, marries fixed asset management capabilities, such as streamlined excel exports, depreciation, maintenance management and user tracking with technological advancements in automation.

itemit’s fixed asset RFID tracking software is the only system you can get off-the-shelf. The system has in-built RFID capabilities, meaning you can plug-in and play on day one, rather than spend months building and paying for a bespoke system.

With itemit, you can mix and match capabilities, too, meaning you can track assets with GPS trackers, RFID, QR tags and barcodes simultaneously. 

This gives you the highest level of transparency, control, and automation possible on the market, as well as the highest ROI. itemit is affordable, easy to use, and built for effective equipment tracking.

Asset register software gives you a tidy way to log, view, and manage your assets. You get unique asset profiles that you can add data and information to. All of this data is then pulled into an exportable report that you can hand over to your accounts team.

Overall, asset register software gives you a quick, simple, and effective way to track and manage your assets. This is true whether you’re tracking fixed assets, tools and equipment, anything!

The control and visibility you get over your assets in turn saves you a lot of time and money and keeps your operations running smoothly.

So, why go for asset register software instead of using an excel spreadsheet? Spreadsheets are tempting as they’re free, but you still save more money using software.

This is as spreadsheets are unwieldy and create gaps. If you think about your asset register as a spreadsheet, each piece of critical information is confined to a single cell. Every time an asset changes, this singular cell becomes out of date.

It quickly becomes an impossible task to keep an excel asset register up to date, and an out of date asset register is a breeding ground for lost funds and lost assets.

With asset register software, you manage the data in a different way and then export it. This means that each snapshot you export is up to date, accurate, and usable.

Asset register software is a system where you can log assets uniquely in individual profiles. In other words, if you’re implementing IT asset management operations, each of your laptops will have a unique profile.

This way, you can track unique information against your assets. For example, if an asset has an issue, you’ll be able to log the issue against the asset in its own profile.

Therefore, if you need to see what the issue is, where the asset is, who reported the issue, and when the asset was purchased it’s all in a single, neat profile.

You can use asset tags to speed up your operations further, too. These are QR codes or barcodes that contain a unique code that links to your asset. Every time you scan an asset’s tag:

• The asset’s profile opens, ready for updates
• The last seen location updates
• The user who scanned the tag updates
• The time of the scan updates

As you get more control and clarity over your assets, you can mitigate a number of issues. In essence, asset register software saves you money in the same way an excel asset register is intended to, the difference being that software gives you more speed and visibility.

This speed and visibility is critical in saving you money. As there are fewer potential gaps in your operations, the risk of ghost and zombie assets is significantly reduced. This reduction in risk is where you’ll find a significant amount of your ROI.

Then, the fact that your asset tracking operations are reduced to mere moments instead of hours also saves you money as you’ll be able to perform operations with much greater ease at a much greater speed, saving you time for other priorities.

itemit’s asset management software gives you the ability to log, track, manage, and control your assets. With easy-to-use features, such as an equipment booking system, and a clean UI, asset tracking issues are a thing of the past.

With itemit, you can collect the data in a few moments and export it into a pdf or spreadsheet, ready for you to use for tax and insurance purposes. Overall, itemit gives you speed and it gives you accountability.

A fixed asset register is a very effective way to monitor what you own, keep on top of purchases, and track asset lifecycles. In short, a fixed asset register is a log of your fixed assets and data about them.

Fixed assets are permanent business fixtures that aren’t bought or sold and, therefore, indirectly create revenue. In other words, they’re not your stock or inventory they’re your laptops, furniture, buildings, tools and so on.

You can depreciate all of your fixed assets, or you can only depreciate above a certain value. For example, you may only be required to log and track assets above £500. Either way, whether you’re tracking all things big and small, a fixed asset register will transform your business operations.

A fixed asset register is a log of each of your fixed assets. Therefore, you can log every laptop uniquely and add unique information to it. This way, you can track assets on a very granular level, pinpointing any data you need to know.

This separates fixed asset management from inventory management, as inventory management will focus on overarching trends and non-unique assets where fixed asset management is tailored to solving problems with unique assets.

Knowing all of the assets you own and the unique information against them gives you a significant edge against common risks and issues. As you can track each laptop, for example, you can track issues against each laptop.

This level of transparency means you will:

• Lose fewer assets
• Purchase fewer duplicates
• Make clearer financial decisions
• Mitigate ghost and zombie assets
• Improve maintenance operations
• Improve rental and bookings operations
• Speed up asset audits
• Improve tax and insurance 

Amongst many other benefits! In short, when you use a fixed asset register, you save time and money and gain a much greater level of transparency over your assets.

It’s tempting for the first thought to be to add your assets onto a spreadsheet and add your data here. This is how companies have been creating fixed asset registers for years.

The main thought here is that spreadsheets are free. However, using a spreadsheet still gives you a negative return on investment, so you’d actually save more money by using something built for fixed asset management.

If you think about a spreadsheet, the first column is an asset’s identifier. This can be a serial or it can be the asset’s name. Then, the next column will be another specific piece of information and so on.

Imagine trying to pinpoint which laptop to log an issue against after your fixed asset register has grown to your asset count. Each crucial, specific piece of information is confined to a single cell on your spreadsheet.

Every time an asset moves, too, multiple cells become outdated in an instant. Therefore, spreadsheets are impossible to manage and keep on top of when it comes to fixed asset management.

Fixed asset register software uses the idea of asset uniqueness and improves on it. Instead of a row being an asset, each asset has a unique profile. In this profile you can add issues, information, booking data and more.

You can also use fixed asset tags to take this further. Fixed asset tags are tags that you physically stick onto your equipment, before using their code (as they’re usually QR codes and barcodes) to link the physical equipment to a digital profile.

Every time you scan an asset’s tag, the last seen location will update, the user who scanned the tag and the time of the scan will be logged and the asset’s profile will open. This gives you a transparent audit trail.

As scanning an asset’s tag opens up a fixed asset’s profile, you can use this to log data, instead of searching through a spreadsheet.

Ultimately, through the collection of this data, you will create a robust fixed asset register that’s ready to use for tax and insurance purposes. The granularity of asset tracking allows you to take more control over your assets and so you’ll save time and money daily.

itemit’s fixed asset management system benefits your business by having a range of features, ready for you to use. Whether already tracking your fixed assets or not, itemit gives you a more automated system, meaning you don’t need to spend hours updating asset registers.

With itemit, logging and collecting information simply takes a scan of a QR code and the click of a button. If you want to use it for your records without asset tags, this is entirely possible too, as itemit comes with an app and web portal.

Fixed asset management systems save you time and money, and itemit is no different, giving you a quick and easy way to audit your assets.
