How a Conservation NGO Can Use itemit

Conservation NGOs usually work hard to make sure that endangered species are protected. The work that they do is vital in helping to protect species while ensuring we benefit from nature’s diversity. itemit’s Asset Tracking can help conservation NGOs track endangered species thanks to its many functionalities.

The Best Asset Tracking Implementations And Use Cases


Reduce Financial Loss

Every tool, piece of machinery, and veterinary equipment can be tracked using itemit’s Asset Tracking software. When a QR tag is added to equipment, its location can be tracked using itemit’s last seen location feature. What this ultimately means is that the equipment is a lot less likely to go missing. 

In the past, when a conservation NGO has lost something, they may have spent hours looking for it. However, the right tracking software allows users to locate the equipment within moments. This can help to eliminate the need to replace lost equipment.

Having to spend less money on replacing lost equipment, tools, etc means that funds can be spent elsewhere. Many NGOs struggle to make ends meet as money can be very limited. Here is where using Asset Tracking software can make a big difference. 

Fewer lost assets mean that there is more money to be spent on research, security, and much more. Money can be diverted to those much-needed areas rather than spending it on replacing lost assets.


Increase Employee Accountability

When equipment is tracked, employees will be more accountable for it. It will be possible for management to see which employees have which pieces of equipment by using itemits assignee feature. When employees are aware that the tools they use are tracked. They are much more likely to look after them.

Itemit’s software has a function that lets employees check tools and equipment etc in and out. This function shows who is using which pieces of equipment on a more temporary basis and also enables users to make bookings. The bookings function increases visibility of who needs what assets and when, ensuring that your employees will know when equipment is available. It also allows for easier tracking, and it lets management know that the right tools are being used for the right job. 


Receive Maintenance Alerts

itemit’s Asset Tracking software can save conservation NGOs time. In addition to knowing where every piece of equipment is, NGOs can save time thanks to itemit’s maintenance feature. 

It can be hard to know when equipment should be inspected and repaired. It can also be hard to understand whether there are enough tools in stock while others are undergoing maintenance. However, the right Asset Tracking software can make life easier. 

With the use of the right tracking software, users can report when tools need to be repaired and book them in for maintenance. They can source other tools to use in the meantime and complete their tasks. 

Tools and equipment that are maintained as and when it’s required are likely to last longer. Additionally, having the ability to book a tool in for maintenance can save time. Users no longer have to wait quite as long for repairs to take place. Equipment can be repaired as and when it is required. This means that those much-needed tools can be back in the hands of those who need them.


Save Time

Because management and employees know where the tools are at all times, sourcing the tools can be easier. There’s no need to hunt high and low for tools as it’s possible to track the location all day, every day. Users simply need to log into the software and select the tool in question. They will then be shown the tool’s last-known location. This allows the employee to use tools when they need them, rather than spend time looking for them. 

When time is saved, goals can be reached quicker, and organisations can work more effectively.

5 Features of itemit’s Asset Management System

5 Features of itemit’s Asset Management System

5 Features of itemit’s Asset Management System

itemit offers users a complete Asset Management system that allows businesses everywhere to successfully manage their assets. While the management system is well-known for helping businesses to locate their equipment, it can do so much more. 

itemit’s Asset Management system is very flexible, offering users more options than perhaps they realised. Below, you can find 5 features of our incredibly useful management system.

The Best Asset Tracking Implementations And Use Cases


It Can Track the Location of Tools and Equipment

Users are able to track the location of their tools and equipment no matter where they are. When a QR code is attached, locating tools and equipment is simple. Each time the QR code is scanned the asset profile will pop up and also its last seen location will be updated using GPS. This is a great tool for being able to see where the piece of equipment was last seen and who by. 

This feature ensures that users can locate their assets when they need to. Additionally, this feature helps to reduce the likelihood of ghost assets. When ghost assets are few and far between, businesses can potentially save money. This ensures that the money can be diverted to departments that need extra funding.


The System Helps to Create an Accurate Asset Register

Another highly useful feature is the asset register that users can create. This register allows users to have complete knowledge of every piece of equipment and tool in the business’s possession. Regardless of what type of business you have, itemit can help. 

When businesses have an accurate asset register, they clearly see how well the business is performing. Additionally, they can see which assets are in high demand, and which assets are barely used. It’s this information that can help users to make better informed procurement decisions. 

Coupled with itemit’s tracking capabilities, the asset register helps users to see where their assets are. This information can prove to be hugely beneficial.


It Can Manage Inspection and Maintenance Schedules

After time, most tools and equipment will need to be inspected and maintained. Using itemit allows business owners to understand which assets need to be inspected and/or maintained. The reminders feature allows users to have much more control over every asset. Additionally, it means that assets are much more likely to be taken care of. This, in itself, helps to lower the cost of repairs and reduces the need for replacements. 

Using reminders, it is possible to see which assets are in need of maintenance. When reminders such as these are set, they ensure each asset is looked after. Assets that are regularly maintained are less likely to fail. The reminders feature works by providing email notifications when maintence and other important dates are due, you’ll never forget a date again with this handy feature!


The System Tracks Asset Depreciation and Life Cycles

Thanks to the way that it works, itemit’s Asset Management system can track asset depreciation and life cycles. Users can understand the value of each of their assets and the asset’s life cycle. This feature can aid greatly in terms of understanding when replacements may need to be purchased.

If an asset does not need to be replaced immediately, users can set aside funds for when the time comes. This means that users can purchase the replacements when they’re required, rather than having to look for a source of funding.

Assets that have depreciated in value may need to be replaced if they don’t perform as well as they once did. Machinery, for example, could be discarded or sold and a replacement could be purchased. Alternatively, when a business has depreciated assets, knowing the combined value of all of these assets can prove helpful. Users can understand how much their business is worth and how the business is performing. With this information, users can make better decisions about which direction the business should be taken in. 


It Has iOS and Android Apps, and a Web Portal

Many of itemit’s users make use of the Asset Management system by logging into the web portal. Other users choose to opt for an iOS or Android app. Some users are happy to log into the web portal and occasionally an app.

itemit’s Asset Management system is very flexible, allowing users to access it when they need to. Users can access the system when they’re sitting at their desks or via their phones on a construction site. The system can be accessed while they’re on the train to work, or sitting at home on their computer. 

As long as users have access to the internet, they can log into itemit as and when they please thanks to it being cloud-based no information goes astray whether you’ve added it by the app or web.

What Benefits Can Asset Tracking Software Provide Your Business With?

What Benefits Can Asset Tracking Software Provide Your Business With?

What Benefits Can Asset Tracking Software Provide Your Business With?

If you would like to track your assets so your business is organised, we can help you. Here at itemit, we provide businesses everywhere with high-quality Asset Tracking Software. With the touch of a button, users know where their assets are and when they’re being used. 

However, it’s not always clear as to what the benefits of tracking software are. Below, you can find the details of just a few benefits that are associated with using our Asset Tracking Software.


Helps to Reduce Theft

Thanks to the way that our software works, users won’t need to be quite concerned about theft. As every asset will have an RFID tag or QR code attached to it you can build a robust audit trail. Users can log into itemit’s system and find the asset’s last-known location. Incidences of theft are less likely to occur as a result as every member of the team will know that the assets are tracked. This can be a great deterrent in itself. 

Theft is not the only issue that can cause concern. From time to time, assets can also go missing. Whether the asset has been left behind somewhere or accidentally misplaced, it can be tracked. Users can see where the asset in question was last seen and retrieve it at their convenience. 

Due to the fact that assets are less likely to go missing, less money will be spent replacing lost or stolen assets. As a result, the funds that the business would have otherwise spent can be diverted elsewhere.

Business Asset Tracking


Allows for Cheaper Insurance Premiums

As incidences of loss and theft are less likely to occur, insurance premiums can be cheaper. Businesses know where all of their assets are at all times. This ensures that assets can be retrieved. Informing insurance companies of this can help to lower the premium as there will be less associated risk. 

While there will always be the risk of damage or faulty assets, insurance costs could still be reduced. This ensures that the money saved can be spent in other areas of the business.


Offers Real-time Tracking

One of the major benefits of itemit’s tracking software is its ability to offer real-time tracking using GPS trackers. Delivery companies, for example, can pinpoint where delivery vehicles are and note the progress. With this information, users can estimate when deliveries will be made. In addition to this, it is possible for businesses to determine whether a driver has taken the wrong route. 

Finally, real-time tracking allows users to see where the goods are and provide reassurance to the customer. This can be crucial when a customer is in a hurry to receive the goods.


Improves Inventory Management

itemit’s Asset Tracking Software can help to improve inventory management. Our tracking software ensures that valuable data is provided. For example, users can see how much stock they have, allowing for better inventory management. When a user can see how much stock they have, they can make a more informed decision about making additional purchases.  

Additionally, as users can see where their stock is located, it is much easier to locate stock in a busy warehouse or storeroom. Users will no longer need to search the shelves to work out where things are. A quick tap on the menu can help users to locate the much-needed items.

Profit/Loss saved asset tracking


Enables Better Maintenance Planning

The right Asset Tracking Software allows for better maintenance planning. This is thanks to the range of menus that itemit offers. Users can notify the maintenance team of an issue whenever an issue arises. This ensures that the asset can undergo repairs as and when they are required.  

Some businesses only maintain assets when they are scheduled for maintenance. When this happens, multiple assets may be waiting to be repaired. Additionally, it means that team members/employees have fewer tools to work with. 

When something goes wrong, the maintenance team can be notified and the issue can be dealt with. As a result, assets are more likely to be in good working order for longer. In addition to this, there may be a lower need for more expensive repairs. Finally, the costs associated with replacing damaged assets can be lowered. If assets are repaired every time there’s an issue, they’re more likely to last longer.


Ensures Automatic Data Collection

Every time an asset is tracked, entered into the system, checked out, or repaired, data is collected. This data can prove to be highly useful. Users can not only see where the assets are, but they can see how often they’re being used. Additionally, users can see who has checked the assets out and read specific job details. 

Information such as this can prove to be very valuable. Businesses can use itemit’s Asset Tracking Software to understand whether they have sufficient assets. For example, if an asset is used multiple times, management can potentially order an additional asset. This means that more people can have access to the tools they need and when they need them. There will be no need to wait in a queue or in a queue that’s quite as long.


Checking Assets In and Out

Employees/team members can check assets in and out when required. This ensures that management always knows who has a particular asset. They can also request that everyone leaves a note stating why the asset is being used. It may also be useful to mention how long a user may need to have possession of the asset. 

When assets are checked out, management can see how many assets are left behind. This helps management to see whether there are enough assets.  When users check the assets back in, the asset will be kept in its appropriate location. Management can see that the asset has been returned and by whom. This can prove to be useful if an issue arises with the asset. Management can speak to the last user to determine whether they experienced an issue.


Booking Assets For Use

Users can book assets into the system should they need to use them. If an asset is already being used by another party, it will be clear that someone else is waiting for it. Thanks to the way that itemit’s Asset Tracking Software works, other employees/team members can see how long the waiting list is. This can prove to be very useful as it gives everyone an indication as to how long they will need to wait. 

Management can also see that a particular asset is in high demand. They can make a more informed decision about whether more assets need to be purchased. 

This feature also helps to prevent people from searching for an asset that is already being used. By logging into the system, they can see who has the asset and how long they may have it for. A feature such as this can help to minimise the amount of time that’s spent looking for an asset. The time could instead be spent undertaking other tasks.


Improves Auditing

As users can clearly see how many assets they have in stock, the process of stock-taking can be easier. Users may no longer be required to manually count the stock. Rather, they can see at a touch of a button how many assets they have. This can potentially help to reduce the incidences of errors. 

Additionally, managers can see how well their business is performing, and make more informed decisions about its future. This can prove to be invaluable as money can be diverted to particular departments or used to purchase more assets.

Saving Time with asset management


How Our Tracking Software Works

Our tracking software works by locating RFID tags or QR codes and showing users where the codes or tags are located. As long as the codes or tags in question are attached to an asset, it’s possible to see the last-known location. The location is updated every time a user scans a tag.  

Our tracking software is here to help you. It does not matter how large or small your business is, we can help you. We can also help individuals to track their personal belongings. By simply attaching an RFID tag or QR code, individuals can update their assets’ locations at all times. 

Here at itemit, we often update our software to make sure that it works well for you. We want you to rely on the software to track all of your assets in the best way possible. When all of our customers are happy, we’re happy. This is why we work hard for you.

How to Manage Your Equipment Effectively and Efficiently

How to Manage Your Equipment Effectively and Efficiently

How to Manage Your Equipment Effectively and Efficiently

Here at itemit, we know the importance of effective and efficient equipment management. When a business knows exactly how to manage all of its equipment, the day-to-day running is easier. In addition to this, the business in question can make more informed decisions about equipment allocation and procurement.

The Best Asset Tracking Implementations And Use Cases


Create an Inventory List

One of the first aspects of efficient Equipment Asset Management involves creating an inventory list. While this process may take a lot of time and effort, it’s essential in terms of understanding what equipment you have. In addition to helping with equipment allocation and procurement, an inventory list can aid in the equipment’s overall organization.

When businesses know what equipment they have, they know what is surplus to requirement. They can also have a clear understanding of how well the business is performing. This is essential if management wishes to grow and expand the business.


Add Details of Your Equipment

While creating an inventory list, adding the details of the equipment can help. Users can add details such as:

  • The insurance information
  • The warranty details
  • The price at purchase
  • The estimated current price
  • The equipment’s estimated life span
  • Where the equipment is typically located
  • Who the equipment belongs to 
  • The equipment’s serial number
  • Photographs of the equipment for easy identification
  • Any other useful information 

All of the above details can be added to itemit, ensuring that users can retrieve the assets information when required. Should a user need to find the insurance paperwork, for example, they won’t need to search far. Users can log in to the system and find the information displayed when they select the relevant equipment. This can save time while being wholly convenient.


Track Your Equipment

Thanks to the way that itemit’s software works, users can track their equipment. They can see where their equipment is at all times. This is ideal when assets are moved between locations. At the touch of a button, it’s easy to locate equipment which has been previously scanned using the app. Users will be shown the last-known location when using QR codes.

Users can also track fixed assets, for example, assembly machines. Machines such as these may need to be used a specific number of times before they are serviced. When logging into the Equipment Asset Management software, users can see how often the machine is used. However, this process will only work if, when the machine is used, the details are inputted. 

For example, the assembly machine is switched on, and the user logs the use in the software’s menu. From time to time, management can check how often the machine is used and know whether it needs to be serviced. This is how itemit’s Equipment Asset Management software can prove to be hugely beneficial.


Maintain Your Equipment

It is possible for management to keep maintenance and service schedules up to date. For example, should something go wrong with a piece of machinery, the user can log the details. They can request via itemit’s menu for the maintenance team to check the equipment. The maintenance team will receive an alert and book the machinery in for repair. 

When machinery and equipment undergo frequent maintenance it has an extended lifespan. Additionally, management can gain an understanding as to whether the equipment needs to be replaced.


Understand Whether Procurement is Necessary

The right Equipment Asset Management software can aid businesses in many ways. One example of this is that the software can aid in future procurement. Managers can see how often equipment is used and understand if more equipment is required. 

Thanks to the way that the software works, users can check equipment in and out. This process ensures that management can see not only how often it’s used, but when and by whom. Should one piece of equipment be in high demand, management will see this. They can choose to buy another piece of equipment or wait to see if demand remains high.

Only when management has accurate details of equipment usage can they make more informed decisions. With this information, there’s a possibility for the business to continue to succeed. It also ensures that everyone on the factory floor, for example, has the tools they need. When people have the tools they need, they can carry out their tasks more effectively and efficiently.


Use itemit’s Equipment Asset Management Software

Itemit’s Equipment Asset Management is here to help businesses of all shapes and sizes. Thanks to the way that it works, the software can help in many areas of every business.

How Her Majesty The Queen Could Track Her Royal Assets

How Her Majesty The Queen Could Track Her Royal Assets

How Her Majesty The Queen Could Track Her Royal Assets

Here at itemit, we know that our Asset Tracking Software can track anything at any time.

Many of us have the Queen in our thoughts right now. As a result, we thought why not take a look at how Her Majesty could track her Royal assets.

It’s likely that HRH has more assets than she realises. Keeping track of some or all of her assets is no mean feat. The good news is that tracking the things she loves most is possible.

The Best Asset Tracking Implementations And Use Cases


What Could the Queen Track?

HRH Queen Elizabeth II could track a wide variety of assets. These include:

  • Her jewels
  • Her crowns
  • Her corgis
  • Her handbags
  • Her hats
  • And much more!

It doesn’t matter why the Queen would want to track her Royal assets, the most important thing is that she can. Tracking assets using itemit’s tracking software is incredibly easy. With the ability to track just about anything, businesses, organisations, and British Royalty can benefit. 

Should the Queen be concerned about her favourite garments, books, letter openers, or anything else, she can track them. Her Majesty can track anything she wishes. This is what helps to make itemit’s tracking software so good.


How The Queen Could Track Her Royal Assets

Thanks to the way that itemit’s Asset Tracking Software works, the Queen can easily track her assets. All that HRH or anyone else needs to do is:

  • Sign up for itemit’s 14-day Free Trial
  • Attach a QR code or RFID tag to the chosen assets
  • Scan the tag using the itemit app and create an asset profile 
  • Fill in the menus
  • Save your progress
  • Enjoy using the high-quality tracking software

Tracking assets is really simple and the technology used to track the assets works well. As soon as the QR code or RFID is scanned, tracking is possible. Filling in the menus can take time if users wish to add as many details about the assets as possible, but here at itemit we can speed up the process of adding your assets using our import feature. Just import a CSV. file with all of your assets listed into the system, and watch those turn into asset profiles! Once this is done, the hard work is over.


Using itemit to Track Anything

Users such as Her Majesty, can log into itemit’s software and locate anything they please.

The Queen could even see where all of her corgis were last seen, should they have a QR code attached to their collar, the HRH can see the dog’s last-known location providing the tag has been scanned when the dog was last seen, the app will even people able to tell you who had last seen the dog in question!  You really could tailor itemit to track absolutely anything!

For example the Queens most precious assets from jewels to paintings may require a more descrete asset tag enabling them to be tracked. The most suited tag for these types of asset are RFID tags. You can easily add RFID tags to the backs of paintings and hidden under their frames, or in the jewels protective casing. Providing the Queen installs RFID readers around the palace and her other royal locations, each time an asset tagged passes a reader, it’s location will be reocorded. This type of tracking eliminates the need to manually scan asset tags, and therefore makes tracking so much easier. 

Further examples with QR tags: should the Queen wish to take her favourite handbag to Buckingham Palace, she can locate it thanks to itemit and its asset tracking system. Her Majesty can see where her lady-in-waiting last scanned its tag, to know where it had been put and ask her to retrieve it.

The system can offer even further benefits with its collections features enabling the Queen to have all of her assets recorded in an asset list and put into catergories making it super easy to know how many of each asset she has in an organised manner. 


How The Queen Could Benefit From Tracking Her Royal Assets

Tracking assets is easy, but it’s not always clear what the benefits are. There are, in fact, many benefits to using the right Asset Tracking Software. 

These benefits include: 

  • Always knowing where assets such as jewels are
  • Being able to access insurance and warranty information
  • Knowing where a vehicle is using GPS trackers (Such as the Queen’s favourite car)
  • Being alerted when an asset needs to undergo maintenance with itemit’s reminders feature
  • Being able to update the menus when the Asset Tracking Software is being used
  • Having the ability to request the use of a particular asset, such as HRH’s favourite hat

There are many different benefits to using the right tracking software. Thanks to the way that it works, it is possible to make life much easier at the touch of a button. 

A servant in the Royal household, for example, may spot that that’s an issue with one of the Queen’s tiaras. Logging into itemit and requesting that the maintenance team repair the tiara can help. The maintenance team will know that the tiara needs repairing, and the servant will know the job will soon be completed. 

What this means is that the next time Queen Elizabeth II wishes to wear the tiara in question, it will be in prime condition for Her majesty. 

Businesses and organisations everywhere can track all of the assets they have. From fixed assets such as machinery to assets used in multiple locations such as cars. All that users need to do is attach an RFID tag or QR code and they can start tracking. It really is that simple.
