Equipment management software saves you time and money. If you’re not using equipment management software, you’ll have a lot of sparse operations that you may not know can be combined into a single system.

Equipment location tracking, depreciation tracking, fixed asset management, IT asset management, insurance auditing operations, issues management, and check in check out capabilities can all be combined into one effective asset tracking software.

Overall, this will:

• Save you time
• Save you money
• Allow you to lose fewer assets
• Reduce asset downtime due to maintenance
• Track finances
• Track expenses
• Maintain an automated, effective, and accurate fixed asset register.

Equipment management software is a system that allows you to log unique assets and equipment. These assets will get a unique profile on your system, meaning that you can add an assets’ unique data against this.

So, for example, each of your laptops, spanners, toolboxes, and heavy equipment can have their own individual profile. What this means is that if any of these assets have an issue, your maintenance team will know which asset is faulty and where it is.

Then, you can use QR code asset tags and an integrated asset tracking app to streamline your operations further. As your equipment management system will be cloud-based, any edits you make on your asset tracking app are automatically updated across the board.

Equipment management software can be tailored to your business’ needs. This means that, as long as you have assets, you can track them in a variety of different ways.

So, your business may or may not hire out equipment regularly. If it does, you’ll be able to use your asset tracking system as effective check in check out software. If it doesn’t, you’ll be able to use the functionality in a different way.

If you need to track maintenance, you’ll be able to use speedy issues management, reminders, and issue reporting features to reduce asset downtime and improve visibility over what needs to be fixed.

Either way, your business will need an accurate fixed asset register simply to view what you own, what can be used, and what needs to be replaced. This fixed asset register helps with financial and tax operations, too, as it mitigates the risk of ghost and zombie assets.

itemit’s asset tracking software has grown from customer feedback. So, while the core functionality of scanning tags to update last seen locations and the automated maintenance of a fixed asset register is still there, many of the features exist because our customers needed them.

What this means is that no matter what you’re tracking or how you’re tracking it, itemit will be able to help. We work with charities, Churches, theatres, government organisations, construction companies, hospitals, restoration and remediation companies, and many many more.

Asset tracking software can integrate a variety of hardware to improve your asset management operations. Where asset tracking software can house your asset profiles and data, hardware can improve your interactions with these assets, in some cases automating them.

So, hardware will either have a technological element that allows for fuller automation, or it will be analogue, meaning the automation is with scanning capabilities.

The most conventional hardware you will couple up with your asset tracking software is QR code asset tags and barcodes. You can read more about whether QR codes or barcodes are better by following the link.

Effectively, QR codes and barcodes work by linking unique asset profiles on your software to physical, unique assets. In other words, when you have a tag on a laptop for IT asset management, your asset tracking software will be able to scan the tag and see specifically which laptop it is.

This hardware speeds up multiple operations. First of all, every scan automates an increase in accountability as:

• The last seen location updates
• The user who scanned the tag is logged
• The time the tag was scanned is logged

This way, every time a feature is used you will be able to see who interacted with an asset and where. As ever scan also opens up an asset’s profile, allowing the use of features, this is very helpful when assets are checked in or out or when an issue is logged.

Handheld and fixed RFID asset management allow for the next level of automation. As QR code asset management requires the tag to be visible to your phone’s camera, it can have some limitations.

RFID tags, however, use radio frequencies and antennas to allow for tag detection. This means that tags can be hidden, which is critical for high-value asset tracking.

This functionality also means that a variety of QR code asset management features can also be automated further. RFID uses external hardware to communicate with your assets’ tags, so, if you want to verify that all of your assets are in the room they should be, you just have to activate an audit feature and pull the trigger on your handheld RFID reader.

Fixed RFID asset tracking goes one step further, automatically logging whenever an asset moves from one location to another. This is very helpful in busy, high-pressure environments, such as for healthcare asset tracking.

GPS asset tracking then fills in any gaps. Where RFID tracking and barcode asset tracking help you keep track of assets while they’re available, GPS trackers allow you to view assets when they would otherwise be unaccounted for.

If your site is large, such as an airfield, for example, or if assets are constantly in transit between sites, your GPS trackers will be able to log your assets’ locations wherever they are in the world. 

itemit is unique, as it allows you to combine all of these hardware capabilities in one, easy-to-use asset tracking software. Therefore, you can use GPS asset tracking to view where assets are when you don’t have access to them, fixed RFID asset tracking when you don’t have time for manual updates, and the rest when you have access to your assets and need to make use of specific features.

Property asset tracking software will help you keep track of your facilities to ensure that your assets are running smoothly. This way, you’ll be able to mitigate and manage issues and ensure that assets are performing correctly.

You will also benefit from additional asset tracking functionality, giving you the ability to log which assets you own and track finances related to them, as well as their movements.

Asset tracking software is a system that allows you to add unique asset profiles and populate them. In other words, if you’re tracking a fridge, you’ll be able to add a unique profile against this fridge.

You can speed up your operations using asset tags, too, as you’ll be able to scan a QR code or barcode within your asset management app to retrieve its profile.

On an asset’s profile, you’ll be able to add and edit maintenance information, financial information, location data, and more! You can also add attachments such as maintenance manuals or usage documents.

With itemit, you can streamline your maintenance operations and ensure that your asset’s have as long a lifecycle as possible. To report an issue against an asset, all you need to do is scan the tag and report this issue.

This is already being used in many different facilities management use cases. You can tag up rooms and specific assets and report issues if there are any faults. itemit is unique, as it allows you to do this without using the software, too, so, your tenants will be able to report issues on assets using our public profiles feature, and they won’t need any access to your database.

Every time an issue is reported, you will receive an email saying which asset has an issue and what the issue is. This way, you can pinpoint what needs maintenance and minimise potential downtime, cutting your costs and keeping your tenants happy.

You will then be able to make use of more features to improve your asset tracking software usage further. For example, you’ll be able to use a locations feature to indicate which assets are in which properties, and then you can also indicate which rooms the assets are in.

Any information you add is visible in an effective, customisable, easy-to-use, and automated reporting system. With this, you’ll be able to export a fixed asset register to verify which assets you own and which assets have been interacted with.

Implementing fixed asset management operations helps your asset tracking efforts, as you will be able to use these reports for a variety of different purposes. This may include insurance operations, financial and tax operations, asset auditing, and more!
